I think I'm a little verklempt.
Allyson! You're famous!
The Cantankerous Cardinal is back. He's not just attacking the windows, he's scolding madly.
Hello, I just came back form visiting my folks, to find a gazillion co-op related messages. Oh, how we have the crazy.
I just skipped many, many messages.
I am wondering if I should drive to the old apartment and just see if they will give me the phone?
Sophia, unless the people in your place are axe-murderers, I don't see how it could hurt. Could you call your old landlord about it at least?
Yeah, Sophia, since you're still in the area, swinging by couldn't hurt.
Allyson! You're famous!
Dude, Allyson's been famous for years. Now she's An Author!!
Trader Joe's frozen fried rice for lunch. Verdict: eh. At least it's cheaper and less nasty than the take-out on the corner, which I occasionally have a craving for.
I really need to go to the post office, and I really really don't want to. I hate my post office!
I don't feel famous!
You know I just sent that to my mom and dad. And half my office.
Could you call your old landlord about it at least?
Actually, the house was sold, so there is a new owner in the bottom, and a new tenant up top. So, no numbers. I also left the apartment really badly due to not finding out before I even started cleaning that they were keeping my security deposit. So, a little embarrassed.
But I will probably swing by. If they left it today, it is probably sitting on the porch, because it is that kind of neighborhood. Of course, then I will be arrested for stealing my phone!
So, I just made an appointment to spend basically all of my graduation gift money on a massage and body wrap. That's OK, right? It seems so frivolous, and yet just exactly what I need.

Of course it is. You're taking care of yourself, and you're using extra money to do it. It's not frivolous if it will make you feel better/relax you/etc.
