I dont remember if I already mentioned that I live in the suburbs. Sometimes it feels like a community, a superficial one, but still. There are tons of kids here for Ama to play with, people at least vaguely know who lives here, and I could probably borrow sugar from a neighbor if I needed to. It is so weird here though. It's like living on another planet. As one friend put it 'its so sterile.' If the lawn gets a quarter inch too high, it gets mowed. If one person decorates for Halloween, they all do. I am pretty certain I am the only one in the neighborhood renting a room. Other than my roommate, I am probably the only single mother on the block. There are no gardens. I accidentally guerrilla gardened some fava beans that got mowed today. Everyone is excited about the duck games... thats football.
I spend most of my days in town... at my mom's, at my friends', at tine house.
I get to come home to a nice, quiet, clean and warm house.
