My favorite spots in my apartment are my kitchen and my reading nook, though sometimes also my shower where “deep” thoughts flee away once the hot water stops. I’m also learning to like the gym down the hallway, but not my aching muscles after a wimpy few sets. After some laborious IKEA assembling—I can lift bookcases and sections of couches but I can’t bench?—I look forward to filling my dining table and living room with friends old and new!
