my day.

woke up, as per usual. showered, like usual. began walking to my closet...squish. half of my floor was soaked through. the whole closet. the hallway. josh's bedroom. seems the imbeciles that park forest hired to work on the water lines fucked up. I was livid. thankfully maintenance cleared things up right away after I went in the office and pitched a fit.

but the incident has just made it easier for me to say this: DO NOT EVER MOVE INTO PARK FOREST APARTMENTS! I've never known of a complex to have so many problems. we've been without water several times without being notified. we had those lovely big holes in the ceiling for several days. the men who came to reinforce the patio left their junk everywhere and took a looooong time to do their work. these fucking buildings must be made out of balsa wood, they need so much done. but when it comes to what I need done personally (i.e. the water leak of last fall), maintenance is nowhere to be found. the office staff is nice enough, when they're there--usually they're not, even during regular hours. I can't wait to get out of this hellhole.

that said, I'm going to bed. at justin's, since the noise of the carpet drying fans is somewhat distracting.

it's so odd to be up and sitting around the house on a monday afternoon--I'm usually either asleep or at justin's. but mlk day has given the teachers some freedom, and we're all just chilling and watching the simpsons here. if we end up moving into the new house during the summer the neighbors won't know what to think, since we'll all be home like this every day. we're a little too old to be college students, and the neighborhood's too nice to live in on welfare. I'd hate to get a reputation for being independently wealthy. it'll make us a target for burglars.

speaking of the house, finally got out to ridge view and spoke with the builder rep yesterday. walked through a house like the one we want, and it was great. I don't foresee any problems with financing--justin and I are co-signing, and my credit score is over 700 as it is--so I hope that construction can get underway soon. LOTS of pics will be posted.

my moods are still up and down, and I haven't been able to get dr. mckinney on the phone yet. will keep working on that.

the 'rents hit town on sunday for my pre-birthday birthday dinner. anyone reading this is welcome to invite themselves!

I've been trying to be a better correspondent, as per my new year's resolutions. I've gotten in touch with many old friends lately and am loving it. the only problem is for them to find time in the afternoons to hang out with me.

enough time wasted at the computer. time to waste more time on the sofa before the grind!
