How do I find the words for how effortless, peaceful, and accommodating my stay with Janet was? Well, let me begin at the beginning. I arrive in LA and it is straight to work for me. Fresh off the plane and straight to a days worth of appointments. Night falls and I barely have the energy to grab a bite before entering Janet's place in my GPS. I find the house quite easily in the dark. It is just as she described and thankfully not around some strange corner or up some odd hill which always makes parking in Silverlake such a pain. The approach to the house felt safe and secure, this is a perfect neighborhood. I put the fantastically individually labeled key (this really can be a pain when your trying to unlock a door of a house you don't know in the dark in a neighborhood you don't know) I twist the knob and the door creaks open, only to be answered by the lulling purrs of her cat Bunny. Seeing as how Janet was out of town for the first few days Bunny made sure that I was warmly welcomed into the house. I found my room and hung my clothes on the garment rack which had a generous number of hangars on it. Then straight to bed. The following morning I awoke bathed in beautiful sunlight. The room is sparse but perfectly so in that LA way which made it feel homey yet light. A quick set up of my computer at the great desk and I was on my way, thanks to the easy wifi. The first few days went by quickly as I was so busy with work. Monday rolled around and I knew Janet would be getting home that day. Our meeting was brief, i was coming and she was going but I could feel her warm heart and creative soul right away. That night I had a friend stop by before dinner and funny enough He and Janet knew each other from years past! A small world indeed. On the last day of my trip I parked my car outside of the house so as to make it easy to load up all my bags. Unfamiliar with how adamant the parking enforcement is in LA is I got a parking ticket as it was a street cleaning day. Bummed I walked back into the house to get my last bag and head off. I told Janet about the damned ticket (and how it was only a 15min infraction) and she turned around and insisted she pay for half of it. I refused her generous offer but she just wouldn't have it, she did not want my stay to end on a down note. Scatter-brained I left in a hurry to get on my way and I forgot my last small shopping bag there. Of course Janet went out of her way to mail it to me promptly as that is just...
