New agent

I have a new real estate agent, recommended by my new singing friend here, and it's such a relief and opening up of possibilities. My sense is that she's a grownup anchored in the real world. At any rate she's much closer to my age and amount of experience in the world, an Oakland resident and native.

She's suggesting I look in a larger swath of Oakland, and that enlarges the possibility of getting my own small house instead of a condo. Which also makes me feel like more of a grownup. While I don't want a place that's too big, I don't want a place that's too small either, that I've already outgrown. Just right, please.

I'm so hoping for a place I can nest, anchor, root, delight in. It feels more possible tonight.
