The Secret Clubhouse

So when you were a kid, didn't you dream of a secret place where you could be alone? Have things all to yourself and everything was just the way you wanted? Well, my wish has finally come true. I now have my own secret lair, my hide out from the world. I go there and relax. I have fallen in love with little things in my new home.
The first few days, while moving in 100 degree weather, I learned to love the ceiling fan. I would come in and lay underneath it while I caught my breath. I would just relax and watch as the light danced around the room as the fan spun. It is a happy fan- just relaxing and soothing for me.
My first shower taught me a new love. I have never enjoyed showering at a new place as much as I did here. I loved my shower at Crestwood- that was one thing that I was very sad to leave. But this new one is a dream come true. Warm water all to myself. A very firm shot of that water though my hair and all over me. The shower room is deep tones and it makes for a very relaxing morning.
I love my kitchen! Its big enough for me to move around and cook as I see fit. It is just right for me- maybe a little tall, but that is why we have chairs.
I have furnished it like any girl would. Deep plum purple couches, a nice tall honey colored table, and saddle seat bar stools. I come there and it makes me happy.
When I sleep there, I feel safe. I know that it is mine.
My room may still be a bit of a disaster- with all the boxes and things to be put away. But none the less, there is room enough to move around. I am happy in my new home. I find new things to love all the time. I just wish that I could figure out what was missing.

Yes indeed. I found a spot in some bushes once. That was kind of cool. haha.

I can't wait to search for my own apartment next year without roommates. Do you not have roommates?? Your new place sounds awesome.
