My Prayers were Answered And I found A Reasonable Priced Apartment To Make An Art Studio And Home

Well here I am in my new apartment with the place to myself and still unpacking and getting organized. I was always one to pray for things to come to me that I required to run my life and the Lord speaks in strange ways. I got a really good priced 2 1/2 flat that is in good shape for the age of the building and I just love how I am fixing the place up, knowing the space is totally my own to decorated to my own taste with my art, collectibles and personal property. Everyone of my associates that I inform the cost and location of where in Montreal I found the apartment , everyone says that I could not have done better. I moved on April 1st 2007 with the help of my older brother, my now 82 year old father and one close friend that was available for the moving day. I will write more on the entry at a later date as I just got my computer hooked up again and have more than enough to do while trying to squeeze in my blog entry, I will complete this posting later as it is late and I am getting tried, so stand by to hear about my move and all! So here I am on April 15th 2007 finally getting around to writing my blog again. I got most of my new apartment fixed up the way I want it, I only had to store one piece of furniture, my coffee table. It has been with me since I worked on the ships and I would never let it go, Mom is storing it for me. My place is packed in pretty tight but it is still comfortable. Mom and Dad bought me a click click sofa that folds flat to sleep on so I no longer have to sleep on the floor. My brother kicked in a 19 inch TV and a few other items that I needed for starting out on my own again. It is good to be able to keep strange hours as an Artist and eat when ever one wants to. Hopefully I will gain a bit more weight as I improve on my eating habits as I only have to fend for myself in the kitchen instead of sharing some meals with a room mate. It cost us both a bit splitting up what we shared in the kitchen, my load was lightened up some with Mom & Dad along with my brother passing kitchen wares on to me, so I would not have to buy as much. The first month of any move is expensive but I am doing not bad covering costs with family help passing me used items. Tomorrow I get to dig in and organize my section of the apartment that is my art studio and houses my tools of the trade. I will be doing my art in an abundance of sunlight from the one window that is in the apartment, it measures about five foot by five foot and on sun days I get full radiating sun beams. With sunlight like this I plan to invest in a few plants and plant some seeds for some plants. I always had a bit of a green thumb for house plants and recycle some kitchen compost into some of my house plants. I intend to put a hanging spider plant in my studio window, a good friend of mine has an abundance of plants and cuttings are easily accessible to me, my last plant died in the cold of winter in my old room that I had in my apartment with a room mate and her daughter. This place is cosy warm with hot water heating so I do not pay electric heat in the winter, thus costs of running the apartment are kept down. I was always good at running a budget for myself, even although I allow myself a beer budget during the month. I have modest needs and I feel comfortable with my new environment that I have put together for creating in,

I have some things that I made in high school wood class and on my own doing wood carvings in my youth for inspiration. I only wish that I had this set up for pursuing the arts fifteen years ago, then again, the Hospital was not set up the same for out patients pursuing the arts back then like it is now. So now I have my chance with a have decent art studio in my home to create at one's will in various mediums that I have exposed myself to, while I build my fourth career as an Artist with an Engineering slant from my past jobs in that field of study.
