the word is...i found a place! yes, signed the lease this morning...ok the knee slowed me down enough to show up in the right place at the right time...it happens to be the same landlord that my mom rents from and yesterday because i was not working i managed to squeeze in and see the place just before another guy who she said wanted it, but hadn't shown up yet...well, I snagged it..it was meant to be for sure..i wasn't looking it just sort of showed up..she had called my mom and wondered if i had time to see the place...it is a one bedroom condo with an attached garage, fireplace, washer and dryer, and all the normal elements...bamboo floors, nice kitchen, windows all around, next to a small creek, and smack in the central part of town on 21st and Walnut...the cost is just right and the timing too..they are doing some work to the place until March 1 which gives me more time to work out some kinks, literally...i will find out if i need surgery on Tuesday for the knee...meanwhile, I have managed to put myself in some interesting spots due to the knee problem..like in front of a professional photographer whom i met last night and will hopefully work with as a starting assistant at some point...i find the above writing to be inspiring and true...it is a small portion of a larger piece that I saw at the Denver Art Museum...i wish I could remember the name...read it...The weather here in boulder is beautiful...blue and crisp and sweet ...with a new place on the horizon i feel pretty good and excited to recover and keep doing all things active and creative...I have begun to treat my photos as true art and having framed a few is really a fun thing as it cements in my mind that i am on the right track...for now, i sit in a coffee shop and write and work and read..and having crutches sure gets you some sweet deals...although, i wouldn't suggest them just for that....

Congrats on new place!! Sounds perfect! Our paralel universe is getting creepy...I think I found a new place this morning..fingers crossed...Are you sure we're not the same person? :-) Like the 'velvet rope'! Good luck to you on the creative front..and on your photography career! XO T
That's great...good things do come when we least expect them! So exciting about your photography too! What I've seen here so far is awesome and I'm sure you've got more great work you're not sharing. I'll keep my fingers (and toes) crossed for you that you don't have to have surgery! Congrats on the new place!
This is all super fabulous news! Congrats on the new place! I am sure that the place has waited for just the right person, (you), as long as you have waited for "it" and it will suit you just fine! I am also keeping my fingers crossed (and my eyes)--{Melissa already took the toe idea) that you do not have to have surgery on your knee! Good going Meatball!

So very interesting, isn't it? All the ways things shift when something happens that we would have never thought would be a good thing...
