Malan Writes from LA
I'm in Los Angeles - Studio City living in the Hollywood Hills. It's absolutely beautiful here and I am so glad that I came. The weather is spectacular. I just got back from a 1/2 hour walk with coffee to see more of my neighborhood.
I live in Laurelvale Canyon, the neighborhood that Frank Zappa lived and died in. I'm up in the hills so I'm surrounded by nature, but in 10 minutes I can drive down and be on the Sunset Strip and in the middle of everything whenever I want. I haven't gone out much yet, I've been focusing on getting my house set up, working and going to AA meetings.
I'm working from home, no 9-5 for me doing freelance design and marketing a few products online. Right now I have some nice automated income on the search engines that pays for my rent and bills so I'm not getting rich but I'm not going broke either. I'm doing a few websites for clothing lines that are starting soon that will pay nicely and give me something cool to work on.
I spend most days either at AA, floating around the internet, at the beach or out at Italian restaurants. My girlfriend is Italian and from New York and loves Italian food so we're there ALOT. :)
Things are good. I talk to mom as much as I can and I know she will be fine. I would love to see her do something with this time now. She just bought a new car, so that's a good first step. I know she wants to move to Ogden and we're working on figuring out how to help her do whatever she wants to do. She's taken care of others for so long I think she's forgotten herself - she is the most kind and selfless person I have ever know. ever known.
