I was going to say that the Trader Joe's in Metairie is somewhere on Veterans, but that's probably kind of a gimme, since everything in Metairie is on Vets.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Today has kinda sucked. I took a sick day from work because I knew it would suck. I had insomnia the last two nights, and today I slept til almost noon so that was good, but I hate getting a late start on the day. Then I completed an onerous task I'd been dreading, fixed a couple stupid mistakes I made that's cost me about $150, forgot to eat or even have coffee until 2pm, and of course it was over 90 degrees today when i had to be out and about. Then the grocery store for what I forgot to get two days ago, and now I'm home and exhausted. I've also forgotten to take my meds today. Fuck it, I'm going back to bed.
Hitting the reset button. I'll feel better after a glass of water and a nap. Then I'll email a couple friends about getting together for my birthday, and list a few more things on eBay to try and recoup the money I stupidly cost myself. A plan! I love it when I have a plan. Come together, plan.

That was my guess, Dana. I have no real need to know but I want to be able to picture it. Google streetview will tell me eventually, I suppose.
I hope tomorrow (hell, the rest of today) is way better, Zen.

Through persistence, I finally got through to a leasing office and got the number of a leasing agent. I'm going to contact her and we shall see if any of these 1-bedrooms are still available in a couple of days (ha ha, they probably won't be):
I left a message at the leasing office here:
AND I talked to a guy about a move estimate.
Edit: Now I'm going to fuck off into this good night and go shoe shopping.

Thanks, Nora! That's a good spot. Would have been convenient for us when H was working at the end of the Causeway.

Hooray Kate and baby Jane and M. and Rose!!! YAY.
I had my first job interview in 16 years today. I think it went well. Or, at least, I'm going to try and keep myself from obsessing over whether it went well.
Question: post-interview follow-up notes, yea or nay? The Internet says yea, but I've been interviewing a lot of people lately, so speaking as someone on the other side of the table, IDGAF whether any of the candidates I've interviewed sends me a note or not. But I guess I should err on the side of, "It can't hurt."
