The realtor called me today; he’s checking out my employment references, and my previous landlord. I need this apartment. I need more than anything right now to not be living in the living room and sleeping on a $20 mattress that I bought USED OFF CRAIGSLIST. Here’s the specs on the new place:

Modern remodeled 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on the second floor
facing backyard. Modern kitchen with dishwasher and garbage disposal.
Free standing fireplace, wall to wall carpets. Next to Haight Street
shopping, restaurants and public transportation.

Ian said something funny last night: “Did you ever think, while you were growing up in Connecticut, that someday you’d living in an apartment on Haight Street in San Francisco?” Why, no! I thought I’d live in Boston for the rest of my life. It’s interesting to look back and wonder what you thought was going to happen.

Well, I can’t complain about the way things have turned out.
