Onwards with the Apartments!

Yesterday was such a long day that even after a 2-hour nap and a 9-hour slumber, today I was zombified for the entire day.

Saw several gorgeous apartments, some very close to the law school. Once you go up the 2K range, all the apartments come with hardwood floors, gardens, and various amenities. Strangely though, even the 3-bedroom ones sometimes only come with 1 bathroom, and the bathrooms are usually very small.

One absolutely stunning apartment we saw was about seven minutes of walking away, which both Boyfriend and I suspect belong to law school profs on sabbatical. It has beautiful, shiny wood floors, 2 stories AND a completely finished basement with laundary, 9-10 rooms, a lovely, modern, stainless steel kitchen with granite countertops, 3 bathrooms, large windows that fill the rooms with light, and lovely landscaped yards.

Sadly, for that particular one, the rent was abotu 50% higher than even our highest budget, so there was no way we could justify taking it. But it was interesting to see what kind of housing is available for the cost.

All these apartment hunting was very helpful. Boyfriend and I have finetuned what we want to a degree where it is now possible to delegate the apartment hunting project to someone other than ourselves, so they can do most of the work. Today we gave the project to M, this rising senior at my alma mater (whom my colleague D considers "very hot") that Boyfriend hired for the summer as his handyman and assistant.

Will be in C-town again this Friday and Saturday. Hopefully will make even more progress in recruting and apartment-hunting.

My days are now tiring but productive, so my mood has been stable and even upbeat. Boyfriend and I are communicating much better these days and our conversations are usually immediately helfpul. So, even though we haven't had a proper weekend for a while, it's been pretty fun.
