Lease is still MIA
Mar. 16th, 2022 12:27 amI received a text this morning saying that the place we toured had been rented to someone who got there before us. But then Z texted his landlord to ask if he has any options that are opening up, and he says he'd be willing to rent us the place literally right next door to Z's building!
Downside: much more expensive, though it'd doable even if Z takes a while to find work after graduating
Upside: much more space! big garden!
Downside: it's not the most walkable area for me (I really gotta nail down learning to drive now that the weather is warming up....)
Upside: we'd be the only ones in the building! No loud neighbors, no smoking neighbors, nobody getting bothered by the noise when Z is excitedly yelling with his friends about Battle Bots (well, we might need to close the windows, but nobody on the other side of the floor).
We're getting a tour next week, since I've only been in the living room while visiting some of his friends, but I've seen the garden from his place, and there's so much space. I might've spent a couple of hours today clicking through seeds and daydreaming about having a flat space to plant things on instead of a hill that grows rocks. (Did you know that they sell pink blueberries? And that jewel corn is incredibly pretty? Would burdock really grow here?! So many flowers I could put out front....) The only thing is that I'm not sure how long we'd be living there, so I'm also trying to figure out what the best cost/effort ratio on options for starting a garden are if you don't know if you'll be living there for a year or several years. I always took a very lazy approach here and just, like, dug holes and planted stuff without disturbing the lawn too much.
In other news, Z finally took his ukulele in to the shop to see why its one string was bad. They said the fretboard had warped from moisture, so he got a new ukulele, and he also got a smaller one. He's hoping he'll have an easier time teaching me to play extremely basic songs on that one, since my hands are small and my fingers are short :)
I also just started a new yuri AMV for an old anime nobody has ever heard of. Maybe I'll try submitting it to Con.txt or something this year. The night I started it, I had a very mundane dream about moving clips around in Premiere
