Well, my good buddy old pal Dave has given my offer to help him with the move out fee some thought. Amortized, it increases my rent by about $100, but the cost savings living with a roommate should be more than that. The only downside about living with Dave is poor Bailey’s confinement – but she’s going to have to be flexible. Forced flexibility, doesn’t that sound pleasant? ;P First I decide that I am willing to part with her company, and now I decide she will be confined to a small apartment for months on end.
After some clarification from my beautiful better half, I may be able to keep Bailey around. At least, when I have a yard, I can continue to feed her. If it wasn’t obvious already, I was unable to refrain from feeding her. I’m a pushover for the cries of someone dear to me. I’m still looking for temporary lodging, however, because I can guarantee that Bailey won’t enjoy being cooped up in an apartment.
It happened like a flash. Today, David (Tae’s cousin) and I applied for an apartment in Queen Anne. Close to my work, close to his work, excellently priced, with a beautiful view of downtown Seattle. We were able to talk the gentleman into letting us have a cat, but David is allergic. He brushed this off as inconsequential, telling his mother that the allergy medicine worked wonders. However, our apartment will be on the 5th floor and Bailey would have to be confined to the indoors, which she hates.
I don’t know when the last time I wrote to you, dear diary. I hope you can forgive that my life has been busier than I expected, or perhaps just that I am absent-minded and I forget about talking to you. I am a very happy man. My job is going well – it keeps me very busy, and I find it quite challenging – exactly what I need. I will see my beloved Eriko in 18 short days.
Well, I would just like to say that last night was a lot of fun. Tom is in town and Ian, Alex, Kellie, Rosie, Tony, Susan, Subrina, him, me, Chris, and Tae got together for dinner at the Keg. Rojay was missing and I have to admit that the service was not quite as good, but I had a great evening. I can’t help but mention that there were many times that I was wishing that Eriko was with me… but at the same time I would realize that I wouldn’t be talking to anyone else.
