Last picture of snow. Promise. Woodstock, NY.
Note the Unky Mood to the left. I chose “Disappointed” only because they didn’t have one that said “So Bummed Out That Breathing Is Optional.” Can’t blame Unky, that’s a lot of words to fit in one of those tiny squares. I could send him a picture of my face right now so that he would have a model for the picture, tho.
I’ve mentioned several times that I was saving up for a move. Well, I found out tonight that it ain’t gonna happen. The landlady’s mother had a cousin who suddenly needed the apartment, and they had to give it to her, apparently. Understandable, but still sucky on my part. Would’ve been the perfect move, too. Right next door, the upstairs apartment. About the size of mine, with plenty of windows (and therefore light), a bathtub (I only have a shower stall), dishwasher (I have a tiny kitchen sink), bedroom big enough that Rick’s feet wouldn’t touch the wall when he laid down in the bed (needless to say, this is a problem here) and oven (I have a toaster oven). It would have been an all around upgrade, and affordable. I just saw the inside of the place last night and was completely psyched about moving in June, but instead I will be staying in my dark, humid Hobbit Hole of an apartment for the summer. Made moreso by the fact that there are no other apartments in this area that affordable. Damn. I didn’t realize how much I wanted out of this apartment until it became obvious that I wouldn’t be.
I got the news at the end of rehearsal and managed to make it home before bursting into tears. That lasted a good ten minutes before cats fighting broke up my pity party. So I got up again, ate some Trefoils and chocolate covered pretzels, and will spend the rest of the night talking to my friend Leenie on IM and reading Harry Potter fanfic. While I’m wallowing in self-pity, I might as well indulge to the fullest, no? Oh, and that sound you’re hearing? The World’s Smallest Violin playing “I Cry For You.” Just in case you were wondering.
UPDATE
I just checked my horoscope for yesterday with AstroDienst: “For many people, this is an extremely irritating influence, requiring great patience and forbearance as well as willingness to keep yourself in the background for a while.” I think that’s the understatement of the year. Oh, and it ends with this: “Try to relax and avoid situations that produce needless tension.” Ha.
