| Signing a Lease Tonight! |
[Aug. 20th, 2007|04:39 pm] |
The last apartment I looked at yesterday is the one that I'm gonna end up living in! Great location, parking included (though I still might get rid of the car), quiet street, back of the building... Nearly everything I wanted!
Here's a map!!! Glad not to have to look anymore - I'm excited! |

| Hawaii! |

Landed yesterday in Honolulu and rode back to my friend, Blake's house in the middle of the island. Much of the island is truly beautiful, but I was also surprised by the areas that are kinda flat and dry - I expected 100% lushness. We drove up to the North Shore and went snorkling - my first time with a snorkel in my mouth ( say NOTHING!!!). Today we are going on a helicopter tour of the waterfalls of the island, and tomorrow we're going on a submarine.
In other news, I will be eating Ramen Noodles for the rest of the year...
OH, and UCSF finally got their SHIT together and sent me my Employment Verification Letter. This was holding me back from signing a lease, and they were just dragging their heals on the whole thing. Not like I need a place to live once I loose the free travel nurse housing or anything... Idiots...
Finally, I'm TRULY bummed that I'll be missing Avenue Q this evening - was quite looking forward to seeing the show with everyone, and may try to get some tix for later. In the meantime, maybe I can drown my sorrows in some swanky Waikiki Beach bar or somethin'.... :) |

Wow. Just how much fun was Lazy Bear Weekend in Guerneville? I don't even know where to begin, but since I just walked in and gotta head to work (ASAP!!!) I'll have to leave any specifics for later. And HELL YES I'm going back next year!!! |

Another little break from LJ - seems I should have SOMETHING interesting to say...
After deciding I was just gonna rent an apt. and be done with the search to own something, I actually found something I might like AND might be able to afford. And it's right here in my current building. Will be looking more into a top story studio apt. here in Japantown that is REALLY nice and completely newly renovated. More to follow...
I've been going on increasingly longer walks around the city over the past few weeks, esp. on days that I don't go to the gym. Yesterday I walked from Japantown into the Inner Sunset and back, today from here to Union Square. And the reason I walked to Union Square???
Some asshole left an ink pen in the dryer across the hall from my apt. And of course it was the dryer I put my white's into. I suppose Dalmatian undergarments might someday be stylish, but in the meantime, immediate replacements were needed for work tomorrow.
In better news - four of my friends from NC are coming out to SF over the next couple of weeks for Lazy Bear up in Guerneville. I'm psyched to be seeing them again, and hoping that much merriment will be had! Two of them will be up here in time for Dore Alley, and I'm SOOO planning to pretend to be shocked and appalled by whatever I see there!!!
Finally, I've made plans to fly out to Hawaii to visit my friend of 35 years, Blake. Will be leaving Aug. 9 and spending 5 nights on the Islands. Never been - I'm excited! |

| Kissed at Work! |
[Jun. 21st, 2007|01:34 pm] |
It's my day off, but I had to do some paperwork at UCSF today, so I found myself in the hospital in my street clothes. I run for a closing elevator door, and just make it on with this QUITE hot guy. Of course, I did a double take as I was getting on. And the guy looks at me and says, "Damn you're cute" - then leans in and KISSES ME! I didn't even have time to react - the doors openned, and he got out. I didn't even get to say anything back. He was in street clothes as well, so I don't know if he works there or is a student or whatever - and it really doesn't even really matter.
I COMPLETELY LOVE SAN FRANCISCO!!! |

OK, no more John Denver channelling!
After just yesterday telling me I might NOT be able to move into my own place June 1, I got called to say that I WILL in fact get the keys tomorrow. As in today now, I guess, since it's after midnight. But, it's not the same complex that I was told I'd be put in. (Not gonna be in the same building as littlepinch after all... SIGH...)
I'll be in the 2000 Post Apartments, which are diagonally across Geary from The Fillmore Center - the first building I'd been told I'd live in. The awesome thing is, it's a 2 Bedroom/2 Bathroom on the third floor - all to myself!!! My window looks out over Sutter - alas, MANY blocks up from the part of Sutter that grubbybastard sees from his place. Still, the place is well located as far as public transportation goes, and I will be putting my car on the market in a couple of months. That will up the amount of condo I can afford when September rolls around.
My GOD I can't wait for my life to feel at least somewhat stable for at least a little while! I KNOW I brought all this on myself - this being the 6th time I've moved in the past 24 months - but I'm getting a bit weary of it all. Hopefully, in 3 months, I'll make my 7th and final move since this whole travel nurse thing began, and I can get on with settling down into a FULL TIME job and a FULL TIME life!
I've forgotten what it feels like to be grounded. |

After a great three days in Palm Springs, mrhavisham and I arrived home around 11PM. I was in bed, exhausted, with the lights out by midnight, but was wide awake before 1AM. I have to work this morning at 7AM, so I'm gonna be a mess. I also have to coordinate returning my rental car and picking up my own car from the shop. Today promises to be quite trying. |
