Studio space?

[ellid]

Something I've long wanted is a studio of some sort. I don't mean an artist's studio, but a room somewhere with a desk, a chair, bookshelves, and privacy so I can finally, finally, FINALLY write the big, bold book on medieval quilting. I've been looking in a very desultory way for a few months, but given that a) I have a very limited budget (around $100, $150 tops), and b) don't want to be more than five minutes from the house, you can see that there's a bit of problem with finding something.

My quest may be over.

I decided, just for giggles, to check Craigslist. And what do I find but a composer in Florence, about five minutes by car, who's looking for a third person to share a penthouse space for $138/month?

Seriously.

There's one very inadequate picture, but I've e-mailed the composer with some questions about equipment, AC, and so on. It would be a bit of a stretch financially, but if the space is decent and they let me keep my books there, it's worth it.

My God. A *studio*. Yes, I'd have to share it, but even so....

I'm trying to set up a tour on Saturday before my next docenting shift. We'll see.

And in health news -

I'm about 95%. Eating more fruits and veggies is proving extremely beneficial, to say the least....

I haven't read back so I had no idea you were ill, but glad to hear you're improving. Fruit definitely helps. I've gone up to three servings a day and I definitely feel the difference.

Not ill - I had hemorrhoid surgery on the 12th. I was in a lot of pain at first, but it's much, much better now.

Oooh! Very good news if it comes together. Nothing like a dedicated space.

I have such a space-- it's called the spare room. But it's not conducive to actually getting anything done because... the kitchen's just steps away... the TV's a few more steps away... the dogs are no steps away (as in under my feet, in the desk's knee hole, etc),,, and if folks see the car in the driveway they know I'm home and I can't ignore the "I know you're in there!" for too long! Your shared penthouse space sounds wonderful.

And as for the 95% WHOOT!! Beats the other odds hands down! *hugs*
