So today I got my period, which I found slightly upsetting, since I had just wasted a test. Oh well. Afterward I went outside to clean out the car. I threw away a whole bunch of empty water and gatorade bottles. Actually I recycled them, but anyway.

I was in a mood, and loafed around hating our apartment, as I often do on the weekends. We were awakened around 7am as usual by our cunt upstairs landlady who turns on the radio directly beneath our bedroom in the garage, and blasts “lite rock” for hours. So loud that it sounds like it’s right in the next room, because it kind of is.

Before we left for Target around 11am, I let her know that we could hear the radio this morning in our bedroom, and she of course passive aggressively said “you said it didn’t bother you.” Yeah, a year ago when the radio was under the living room instead.

Target was good, and the sun was shining. Went home and did some writing after lunch, then I was watching the Giants game and feeling frustrated, looking at much cheaper east bay apartments on craigslist. Brian and I started fantasizing about moving into a real house, with a backyard and everything.

Then we realized it just wouldn’t be smart to move, unless we had decided to stay in the bay area for another five years (then we would have already moved). We plan to go to Chicago in a year at the earliest, so two moves would make no sense. So we have to stick out our loud, cheapskate, bitch landlady.

It’s almost made worse by the fact that our friend next door, a sweet older lady named Trixie, leases her downstairs unit to a couple guys and she is quite possibly the best landlady on earth. Never raises the rent, takes good care of the place, cooks for them! UGH. And we are stuck with Miss Tightwad.

Anyway, I realized we won’t be moving, so we can instead make the best of it. We can decorate the place nicer, get rid of the clutter, rearrange some of the rooms a bit. I may move my desk into the dining room (we are getting rid of the used-twice dining table — it’s crappy anyway and we weren’t going to take it to Chicago) and have a little office in there so that half of the second bedroom/office can accomodate a crib someday.

I was very productive after that, throwing away things, moving plants around, making a big pile for a garage sale next weekend. Then I took a long walk. After that Brian and I went out to Thai food with Pei-Lynn. It was fun. We went to Chow after dinner for a little dessert and cappucino. Just got home and washed up, and I think I need to sleep.
