The Move
Signed the lease on Friday. Mary, Bret, and I took the walk-through on Sunday. I like almost everything about the place except the green carpets. I’ve had green carpeting in my current apartment for six years. It’s supposed to be the color of life, but it just reminds me of jungle rot. Other that that, though, the apartment looks like it’s going to be very comfortable. I remain optimisitic.
Maybe, once I’m settled in, we can talk about some more substantive matters again.

It takes awhile to get settled. I hope your optimism holds mostly true. Loving Hard Time with every issue.

Jungle rot indeed. Would they change out the carpeting for you? Otherwise, large rugs…

Forget the carpet, the main thing is whether the air conditioner works. In Vegas, the A/C is king.

Reminds you of jungle rot… or Man-Thing and bad memories at Marvel…?

Green carpet? Don’t tell me it’s shag.
