saturday == good
May. 13th, 2006 09:57 amI am actually feeling rather cheerful, despite ongoing cold/sinus symptoms and associated lack of much physical energy. Just glad it's the weekend, the sun is shining, and although I have some chores to do, nothing requires hurry.
Still obsessively checking email for any signs of life from L, but actually feeling less stress because I don't have any decisions to make -- at this point, he will either get in touch or not, nothing more I can do.
Also: just got the notice about my lease renewal. So intrinsically annoying: Not only do they want a full 2 months notice, he writes this sugary letter saying things like "I hope we have exceeded your expectations" (which they most certainly have NOT) and then closes by saying that it's his goal to have all the 31 July renewals completed by 25 May -- as if 60 days isn't enough, I'm supposed to care about his frickin *personal goal* to get them done *even sooner*. Gah.
I am mildly anxious that I haven't found a place yet, but no way am I going to renew my lease here. One way or another, I need to move on. Oh Real Estate Gods, please smile upon me!
On the other side of the coin, I would love to be able to start really planning my new space, I yearn to start shopping for furniture and new sheets and whatever, but of course I must wait. Tomorrow, I have 3 open houses to go to, but I am not thinking any of them are that likely: two are outside of the neighborhood I've settled on, but look interesting enough that I'm checking them out for due diligence. The third is in a perfect location, but sounds pretty vin ordinaire overall, lacking the features that would really catch my attention.
Onward.
