email from me
Hope you are doing alright. I hope Sookie is keeping you happy and entertained as best as can be expected!
I’m emailing instead of texting, because it’s easier for my hands, especially for longer things.
I thought I’d let you know…
<Boyfriend> got a job offer. It’s solid and stable and I think it’d be an excellent opportunity for <Boyfriend> to relax for a while and have money to do things and have weekends off to see his friends. He’s concerned about how much a five day a week job would crush his artistic life, which I’m sure is something you can understand.
Anyway, he’s considering it, but I told him that if he thinks he’d be able to live comfortably as a freelancer in LA, then he should go do it, and we could just figure out what to do about me, here in NYC/NJ, which I can’t leave because I need to have huge surgeries by fancy doctors.
He’s worried about leaving me behind when I’m going to be getting and recovering from lots of stuff and will need help. I’m trying to figure out ways around that so he can feel free to leave if that’s what he needs in life.
I’ve no idea what the end result will be, if he’ll goes ASAP, if he’ll take the job for six months and stash away enough cash to move, or if he’ll decide to stay until I get all my shit done.
The apartment is large and sunny and airy and fully furnished. It’s really quiet at night, aside from the raccoons. I can’t afford more than $450-$550 or so a month, so the roommate would take the large bedroom at $900-$1000. There’s a large central room for a studio, which could work for both pain and/or tattooing. The bus to the Journal Square PATH station lets off literally on my corner.
So, if you end up working again and can afford it, maybe we could be roommates for a while. You’d have, in me, a quiet and mostly sober and nocturnal person who might help you sleep.
I’m not sure if that’s feasible in your world, nor am I sure that such things would come to pass, but hey, figured I’d throw that out there as something to think about.
