greg and i are exhausted from our two weeks of cleaning and re-arranging the rooms in the apartment. but it's done. well, we still have lots of details to attend to, but the most difficult part of setting up korrina in our room, moving us to the living room, and making the small room primarily m and c's space, is accomplished. our old room is a combination of desk, dressing area and now korrina's things. i feel a little funny having the bed also be a couch in the living room . . but i think if i set it up properly (with pillows and bolsters) it will work . . and it'll be nice if nana and nonno stay overnight, now that nana doesn't have to sleep with the cats and that there is a comfortable bed for them. i'm just so relieved that it's done . . physically (and emotionally) drained . . but relieved.
by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)
