The Week In Review

Well, its been a week all right. From the sleep deprived weekend to the house hunting weekend, not much has happened. Yup. Boring. My life and many others. I've talked with a couple folks this week and it just seems that everyone is in a funk. I blame it on the nice weather that won't stay. It just teases us and puts everyone in a bad mood. Meh.

Wednesday found a note on FMD and I's front door saying they're going to be showing our apartment to prospective renters. I don't know if any of you are renters, but have your landlords done this to you too? I f'ing HATE the idea of letting complete strangers poke around my apartment and invading my life... I just can't stand the thought of it! And its not going to get any better for the next couple months either... Do I have to clean my apt every time someone is visiting? F that. Do I have to put my dirty underwear in the clothes hamper before someone comes to look at the apt? F that. Do I want to hang a big f'ing sign in the apt that says "HEY YOU! YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE HERE BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORS ABOVE THIS APT ARE ANNOYING WITH LOUD DOGS AND WILL WAKE YOU UP AT ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT"? You betcha. Anyways, I hate the idea of all these intruders in my house casing the place so they know how much "stuff" we have in case they want to come back and rob us... Paranoid? Yes. Totally out of the question? Not by any stretch of the imagination... I've gotta get out of the city.

On to buying houses. FMD are visiting a few this weekend again in Marshfield. Instead of someone intruding on our apt, we're going to be intruding on someone's actual honest to god house. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, it just feels weird. I can't imagine moving all around and buying and selling houses all the time like people do...

I guess thats about it. I'll leave you with these words of advice from my wife. If you're going to take a microwave out of your back seat so no one "steals it" while you've at class, don't put your wallet on top of the car and drive off like that. If you do leave your wallet up there and don't find it there when you look for it later, call and cancel/hold all your credit cards immediately! Thankfully, she heeded the second part of her own advice because once her wallet was recovered it was missing all the cash and credit cards. Thank god for honest people like the one who tracked all over creation to get the wallet back to her, piss on the people who don't care and steal other's property, and in some cases like identity theft, steal their lives...
