Scribbles

Spent the last two nights at my new place – a quiet in-law sublet in Sunset near Ulloa Street.  (FYI an “in-law” is a section of a house separated into its own unit.)  The temperature here definitely falls to must-wear-jacket levels in the evening, something unusual in the South bay.  Anyhow, the very congenial student who lives here is visiting her motherland of Nippon over the summer, so I was lucky enough to sublet the place for the remaining duration of my stay in the Bay Area.  I promise I’ll take good care of the it,

The location isn’t quite the City, but it’s walking distance to a local Asian supermarket, Walgreen’s, and some simple restaurants.  Street parking is fairly easy, although I’m still getting a hang of parking within the short spaces between driveways and dealing with odd street cleaning hours (I’ll post a pic later).  But I plan to drive as infrequently as possible and am eager to get acquainted with the Muni system so I can get around without worrying about driving and parking.  The L line is supposedly a mere hop skip and jump away.

The unit itself offers a tremendous amount of living space and light, something essential to living comfortably.  I inherited that through grandma.  Something about the brightness that uplifts my spirts and gives me a boost in energy.  There’s a small kitchen at the entrance, laundry room in the garage (unfortunately no parking space for me), garden in the backyard, bathroom, bedroom, and monstrously large living room.

Soon to be messier.

Tai-Chi anyone?

Greenery… yummy oxygen

Remainders of my move

I look forward to my short summer stay in SF.  Subtract my various vacation and visits to other places, too bad I really won’t be spending much time here.  Regardless, here’s to the City!
