There’s a lot of cactuses here.

And flowers.

These are not vacation photos. This is my new home.

I moved across the country to Los Angeles 8 months ago, on April 1st. Of course, I only remembered to share this here now (4 years and 7 months since my last blog post) because it’s winter in Chicago now and I really appreciate the warm LA weather. I ran away from snow. Now I’m trying to figure out what kind of umbrella will protect me from wildfires and what kind of shoes will protect me from earthquakes.
