Day of Almost No Thinking

Sorry I didn't post anything earlier today. I had planned to get up early this morning and drive to San*ta Bar*bara to look around and look at apartments. Then I woke up at 9am. Oops. Not so early. Needless to say it was 10 before I hit the road and I didn't end up getting there until 3pm which sort of sucked. I managed to find one of the apartments I wanted to look at. It's liveable. I would be paying almost the same amount of rent each month that I pay for my house payment at home for an apartment that is roughly the size of my living room and maybe part of my kitchen. And no off street parking. Hmm. And driving around that town seriously sucks. Good news is that it's close enough to the hospital I could walk (ooh, exercise) and the rent is the lowest I found and it's month to month. Many of the other places I called wanted at least a 6 month lease which I can't give them. Plus the carpet is really old looking so if my cat was naughty (pretty much a given) then I wouldn't feel too bad. I know that is really bad to say. I am still going to look around a bit but it looks like this is the way I'm going to end up going. Not much else happened. I ended up driving home in the dark which I hate. I had a couple guys in a car harrassing me for a bit which scared me a bit until I sped up and left their hoopty in the dust. Oh, and for those who live or have traveled through California, have you ever noticed that there are very large portions of the state that smell like shit.
I'm going to get my beta drawn early tomorrow morning and am guessing I should know sometime around noon. I will post as soon as I know something. Thank you everyone again for all your well wishes and encouragement. It is so very appreciated.
