today so far
My dad and I decided to go on a walk this morning. Despite popular belief, there is still some open land here in San Pablo/Pinole. The view from the hill is amazing...a full 360 of Pinole, San Pablo, the bay, and Vallejo. After the hill my dad took me over to see the new bridge in Old Town Pinole, and we came across a small dachsund wandering down San Pablo Ave. We tried to call the worn number on the tag, but I got an answering machine. The animal shelter confirmed that it was the correct number and Mia the wiener dog is now in their care until her caregivers are home from work/school. I'm glad we found her when we did. There was a water crew digging a large hole, and she was headed straight towards the busy intersection. Who knows what could've happened to her! Creatures big and small. After lunch at Jack in the Box (a tradition every trip because I miss it) we headed home so I could further deal with this apartment fiasco.

Ryan saw an excellent place this afternoon right on Ridge across from Superfresh. The pros? It's a good size, affordable, there's Superfresh, we'd get a storage unit and $100 off the first 3 months, and they accept dogs. The main cons? It's a bus not a train to the city unless I want to walk down Ridge...either way it's an extra 20 minutes, and it's one of those complexes with windows only on one side of the building, which means a dimly lit apartment. I was so happy that the place on Chelten had windows all over. He really wants this place. A morning shift most of the months would negate the bus issue, which is fine, I'd just like to get a few more in our sight first. He's right, I'm being picky, but the second place I sent him is cheaper, has lots of window, and is gorgeous. Is it so bad that I at least would like him to take a look at it? He went over and couldn't find the guy who said he'd be there, so he went back home. He's hesitant about going back, but he agreed to try. He's not really interested, though. His issue is that it's close to a CVS and that's it. True. That could be an issue. I'd still like him to take a look. Apparently he's got a few more to look at also. It's frustrating to be away from the whole process like this. I wasn't going to come, but I'd had it planned and he told me to come see my family. I can't express how much I appreciate him picking up the slack on this one, but you all know how I like to retain at least slight control on things. I feel helpless here, but he's taking care of it. I have to have faith in him to make the right decisions for us, as he has in me. That being said...argh! I really just want to know where I'm going to be living next month. His mom is helping us out a tremendous amount, and it's a huge relief to have help on both sides.

anywho, my grandma and i are going to the Cerrito Speakeasy Theatre...sounds like fun...report later. :)
