Household

The new apartment is great! It’s right downtown, and we wake up to the bells of Hallgrímskirkja Church. We’re close to everything. The kitchen is on the large side and it has these gorgeous orange walls. We stock the fridge with vegetables and health food—no Diet Coke, no hot dogs or meat of any kind. I don’t know what’ll become of his roommate; I hope he doesn’t end up snowed in by piles of dust and lint. We’ve never had so much room to breathe and be ourselves; we have a living room just for us, plus the bedroom. You could almost go wild from comfort. The living room leads to a beautiful garden. In summer, we can sit there and drink beer and play games. I haven’t quite figured out how I’m going to pay my portion of the rent with my gig at the café, but I’m sure it’ll turn out okay.
