it’s amazing how quickly the unusual becomes normal… i don’t even notice that i’ve learned how to look the other way first before crossing the street.
still miss my family incredibly though. i worked hard on installing an online photo album and hopefully if it works well enough i’ll be able to train the family on how to update it.
woo hoo found a potential wireless hotspot in flat but it’s very low connection and may not appear again…
it’s also late and i’m very tired so i’ll try it tomorrow evening…
back online. later i’ll fill you in on the details of what exactly happens when one locks the keys in a flat on a crisp, cold saturday morning.
currently catching up on a tidal wave of email & billing statements…
got the flat (apartment) keys. will come back to document what had to take place first.
looking up the best way to get there from here. no, i won’t tell you where ‘there’ is… but i am at a bagel factory
good lord, the process of renting an apartment can make a preacher curse! in the states (texas, at least) if you find an apartment that’s available you can sign up and move in in less than a day.
i’ve been working on this process since a week ago last tuesday. that’s right — nine days ago. it’s like taking out a mortgage!
i have to hurry and get in a flat, the hotel’s going to be unavailable soon and so is the money i’ve allocated for temp housing. the apartment owner wants a month and a half up front plus the agency wants letting fees of course paid up front. all in all this has to work itself out by tomorrow midday (local time, not CST) or i’m up a creek without a paddle.
