I'm so sorry, tommy. I'm glad you have consolation at hand in the form of a cat and a lovely neighbor who writes cat diaries and wants to make out with you, even if neither of those is the same consolation as your mother remembering would be. All sorts of (platonic, non-making-out) hugs and punctuation.
Bleh. Do not want to go to work. Leaving at noon anyway, but really just want to get a jump-start on it by not going in at all.
I woke up okay but got progressively grouchier on the bus because the heat was on and that made me feel like I was sitting in a pool of humidity. My email made me angry and I may have been Active Bitchface for about 10 minutes while getting breakfast. Then I felt like a jerk because the email I thought was calling me out actually was an offer of help.
I've got an appointment to see an apartment here next Thursday: [link]
Now I just need other leasing agents to get back to me so I can get visits booked.
That's walking distance to the Zmayhem, shrift!
That's a bummer, Tommy. But she enjoyed it in the moment, so maybe you can focus on that too.
Ooh, shrift, that could be great! Close to the park, walking distance to a good comic book shop and bookstore and pricey but excellent grocery store (Andronico's - not great for staples, but if you're ever tackling an ambitious recipe and you stumble on some weird spice or root vegetable you've never heard of before, Andronico's will not only already have it, it'll have a good half dozen for you to choose from), lots of good restaurants, and far away from the worst of the tech bro culture. Also, dang, that kitchen looks pretty.
Sorry to hear that, tommyrot. But you all had a good time at the time, right? That's a good thing.
Looks good, shrift! That address sounds so familiar to me, I wonder why. ALso, next Thursday! That's so soon!
Man, I had my fancy Stumptown coffee at home yesterday and today my not so fancy Trader Joe's is not tasting as delicious. Dammit.
ALso, next Thursday! That's so soon!
I KNOW. The linear progression of time is making me panicky.
