Lisa had been bugging me to fill out the apartment application. Then when I'm ready to start (late last week), she drops the bombshell that she's thinking of renting our friends' (soon to be neighbors') house after they move next door to us. It'll be $350 more a month (than the apartment), but there are some conveniences (laundry, space, etc)... over the course of six months, are these conveniences worth the 2K? I'm not sure, and I'm not sure I want to mix business/rent with pleasure/our friendship.
With all the city/garage uneasiness, Lisa's been able to keep this portion of our stress at bay... why worry about where we'll live when we don't know when it'll happen? I'm all for that sort of denial as well.
So Lowe and Herman picked up their sets of the drawings on Friday, and Fred from Coastline showed up (over an hour early) today to pick up his. Seemed like a good enough guy. He said (after warning us that we'd need to move out of the house) that he thought it was a five-month job. We'll see.
So dad comes over and we really talk about him moving in with us. It looks like that might really happen. Good to have that settled (now if we can only get him NOT to pay us...). But just as we come to grips with that, Lisa has a change of heart and floats the idea of living with dad while we're displaced. What? We had pretty much tossed that one onto the scrapheap of bad ideas early on: my fear of cabin fever with my day, plus the incovnenience of trying to get Lisa and the boys to school from Ventura, were just too much to contemplate. But today it was back on the table. We decided to table it again until we get more info from the city re: the garage.
All this talk has brought back an old aquaintance of mine: my esophogeal spasms, chest tightening, and heartburn/nausea. I took a protonix for the first time in over a year today, and the first sublingual in months. Even with the ativan tonight, I can't sleep. I'm a freaking pharmacy, and I can't rest.
Boy, is this going to be a great six months, or what?
