Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know if they would actually come in on 10/31 and throw my stuff on the street, but I figure I'll talk to them about it first.

Because books.

Month to month is sort of handshakey. I don't think they'll throw your stuff on the 31st, either, Jesse, but I would talk to them as soon as possible just to be clear on what happens if you can't find a place right away or whatever.

I should really go out to look at apartments, but I'm not mentally ready! Feh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

From experience, I can tell you that evicting a tenant takes at least three months, and that was for someone who didn't fight us in court, she just didn't leave (or pay the $20k she owed in maintenance fees).

Still, not the ideal way to go.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Glad to hear the good news about your mom, Frank. May she continue to improve.

And Jesse, I'm sorry about the apartment situation. All speedy perfect-place-finding-ma to you.

Yay, Frank!

I spent the last half hour on PetFinder and it's all Perkins's fault.

Our wings are not tired.

Jesse, Steve had to move recently too (they wanted him to sign another year lease and he was frustrated with them not fixing stuff, etc. And while his location was awesome, and the exterior of the brownstone beautiful, I hated the inside of his apartment.). He ended up renting a much better place for less money out in Jamaica Plain.

Moving is such a fantastic pain even in the best of circumstances that I'm furious on your behalf that you're being given almost no notice.

Oh Jesse, that absolutely is the shit. I am very sorry.

Thank you for the gifties. Made my day.

msbelle, I am so glad it got there. I have had the box sitting in the house since July (minus the sticker). Then I had it in the car for longer than 3 weeks. When I finally went to the post office, I ran into my friend Judy who knows the entire town where the post office is located. So funny.

Took Grace and Noah for a long walk this morning in preparation for the half marathon. When I have Noah in the pack on my back? I am so much slower. DAMN it was work. Then I think I made him late for soccer.

I'm staying home and grading.

I want to tell my parents that if they get xmas gift for the kids to get us Signing Time videos because let's be clear, that's what we really need. Is that tacky?

Yeah, people love it there. But I'd need a car to get to work, and I'm just not ready for that.

I would say no, but it depends on your family how it would go over.
