Back in San Jose

I stepped into my apartment yesterday and for that first moment I was surprised. My apartment looked fresh and new to me. It was the opposite of deja vu. I felt like I had never been in it before, but I know I had passed though that doorway hundreds of times. I feel like these were brand new walls all around me.

This was a really good feeling. I like the idea of San Jose being fresh and new again. It is starting to feel more and more like home. It is at least my base. It is the place where I come back do. I never dread coming back. I wonder how long I will be able to keep this new feeling.
