Winters like that get so oppressive, Amy. I don't blame you one bit. Our nearly snowless winter has had its own weird, oppressive feel, too. I also think the lack of snow and mild temperatures that we had until we were well into January are to blame for a lot of the illnesses floating around. I for one, welcome our new snowy overlords.
Chris had a headache this morning, but he had no fever, so I gave him Tylenol and packed his little tush off to school. Julia's still feverish, but we medicated her at midnight, and I gave her an extra pillow to sleep on. I don't know if either thing worked, or her virus just settled a little, but she didn't throw up in the middle of the night, and I'm glad to take that victory, however we got it. I am starting to understand how athletes get caught up in ritual when they're on a winning streak. Smelly socks, here I come.
I don't want to be at work today. Want to get on the road. I finished most of my stuff yesterday anyway. There are no bosses here and only one other coworker. I guess I'll watch tv on the pod and get stuff done for Monday.
Here's what you can get in Dallas for $1150 [link]
In my neighborhood, in a building pretty similar to mine (except that mine doesn't have a pool), $1400 will get you a studio: [link]
It should go without saying, I feel, that $1200/mo in Cincinnati can get you a whole whole WHOLE lotta house, in a nice part of town.
(I remember once freaking some NYC-istas out when I mentioned that my rent on my 1-bedroom apartment, which is a decent size, is $535. To quell the freakout, I had to remind them that this is *Cincinnati.*)
Rent on my studio (fairly large studio with an actual kitchen) is $1150. It would probably be a few hundred dollars more if it were a few blocks further north.
I should note that that LA apartment is in a very very very sketch part of town. Like, I wouldn't live there. Ever.
This is comprable to my area: [link]
We had an apartment about this size (a little bit smaller, with not as much light) for $950 -- seventeen years ago. Boy, times have changed.
I love living in LA.
But you live in the perfect Bungalow o' Love!
My 1-BR apartment (with too small kitchen, in mostly nice area) is $510.
