I could, yeah. It's really a concern of "will the bed fit in the bedroom with space for blind/deaf dog to stumble around comfortably?"

Also, again, the nostalgia pangs for the current apartment weigh heavily.

I know the landlord fairly well at this point. I'm thinking of emailing him and asking for a second look so I can measure and make sure before I commit.

Said neighbor is also almost 50, pregnant and goes outside for a smoke every 20 minutes.


Just about everything is wrong with this sentence

and definitely check it out more before you decide, especially if it costs more. although higher cost usually indicates at least a moderately significant improvement.

Yeah, I think I'm feeling more and more comfortable with the idea of poking my head in once more.

Previous tenants were busted for dealing drugs. They made noise all hours of the night. It was terrible.

Apartment smelled like my oldest sister's room, circa 1995.

I know next to nothing about computers. I started up as usual and there were no internet connections for wifi. Never happen before. The girl at the desk gave me a meaningful smile but she might have been dazzled by my hair who knows.

Fuck them I'll just go to the public library which is two blocks away from my apartment instead of a four mile trek. Hopefully the head librarian doesn't still want my head on a pike.

And before someone suggests it: I'm not too keen on moving away from the building. Rent is expensive where I live, and I have a good deal. I am also down the street from the local record shop AND my place of employment. And I get to have my dog. Also, I like the idea of being able to move most everything myself without putting anyone out.

Yay, I got an Uber today and the driver didn't even attempt to start up a conversation just drove me where I wanted quietly.

This is the good life.
