"Both young children and old people have a lot of time on their hands. That's probably why they get along so well." -Jonathan Carroll


Due to my lively social calendar, I have to reschedule my date with Britney for Saturday. Can you believe I am double booked?? The partner, John (not life partner John, accounting firm partner John… two very different people), invited me to dinner at his house on Saturday night. Hopefully Britney is flexible and we can hang out during the day or next weekend at least. Luckily I don’t have anything else on the calendar, so I should be able to fit her in. Sunday is family day here, so that won’t work. You also can’t mow your lawn on Sundays since it’s too loud. Or do any grocery shopping since all of the stores are closed. 

I went apartment hunting yesterday during lunch and saw two apartments with the agency girl. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. One had two bedrooms and was actually pretty big, although the kitchen was not “fully equipped” which means we would have to buy a fridge and oven. It was also a little above our price range. The second one was actually in our price range, has a separate bedroom, and is fully equipped! It also has a parking spot. It’s not in a prime location, but since it has the rest of what we want, I applied for it. Along with over 50 other people. As they say in Geneva, “you don’t pick the apartment, the apartment picks you.” Hopefully the feeling was mutual and this one has a little crush on me too.
