hurry hurry
Jan. 25th, 2004 02:30 pmTwo variations on the theme:
So my friends have been here all weekend, making this the first hour I've had truly alone since Thursday afternoon. I am so very accustomed to living alone!
And all of that time seemed to be rushing from place to place, which is not really true, but even in between the actual rushing about, I was "on", trying to make sure they were entertained.
And for some reason, I said "yes" when they asked if I wanted to come to a concert tonight, which will probably be fun but on the other hand I might have really enjoyed doing nothing... Oh well, plenty of time tomorrow to do nothing...
Meanwhile, back on the housing front...
There was the one apartment in Berkeley -- the very large, nice, and somewhat too expensive one -- which was nice enough that I decided to send in the application even though not sure I really wanted it. And now I've gotten an email saying, basically, if I want it, it's mine, but would I mind giving a deposit on Monday -- as in tomorrow.
I am 90% sure that I should just say a polite "no thanks". But with all the rushing about this weekend (see above), I don't feel like I've given it enough thought to be 100% sure.
And being the worrier that I am, I fear that if I pass it up, I will regret it. (But also know that if I make a snap decision to take it, I may regret that also.)
Probably will send a polite email saying honestly that I haven't made up my mind, and that I realize they may rent it to someone else while I'm thinking.
