relaxing in my sweats watchin a medieval flick
I'm trying to chill and enjoy break, and not be so upset and stressed out about all the complications of this moving business. We thought we had our decision made for us when we had no interest from anyone in subleasing the apartment. JUST as we were going downstairs to tell Wendy that we wanted to take 4P, she was calling us to let us know she'd found someone who wanted to sublease. Back to square 1, no decision. We got into a big argument about it, cause the pros and cons make it so hard to decide what to do, and I'm still so uncomfortable about everything. Downstairs is smaller, not as nice, and not as affordable. But we are comfortable here, feel safe here in this building and in this part of the city, and the move would be very very easy. Over on Washington, the apartment is slightly more affordable, much nicer, much larger, all new. It's what Casey wants because it's such a good deal. But the move would be hard, I wouldn't be there to help because of unchangeable travel plans, the building may be very loud because of all the construction still going on, and I don't feel as comfortable with that street as I do in the heart of the Central West End. As much as I want to be comfortable, there's still so much of this city that still terrifies me. I like the central west end, but I just don't like cities.
But I am liking my historian friends better and better! Last night I had over Kendra, Robert, his roommate Steven, and Luke for a potluck celebration dinner. Robert brought spaghetti sauce, Luke brought wine, and Kendra brought cheesy mashed potatoes. Yum. The boys and Casey had a blast playing smash brothers while Kendra and I finished dinner and talked. We joked about how we were "women in the kitchen," but in truth it was where we both would rather have been anyway. Gave us time to chit chat. I made pasta, broccoli, and poppy seed bread (grandma's recipe). I'm actually gonna have some more poppy seed bread now! Yum. The whole night was a blast. Casey got to talk about Diary a bunch, Kendra and Casey bonded over Morrowind, Robert liked my LOTR ornaments, we all had a lot of fun. Ended the night with watching Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert all together.
Today I wrote a letter back to Kelly, whom I don't think I've really seen since high school! We're gonna get together and catch up, and hopefully stay in touch from now on. She was a wonderful friend to me back in the day.
Now I'm not sure what we'll do. Casey and I are going to bring an application to the other building today. In the time it took to find a subleaser, we lost our chance at the 2nd floor unit. We'll see a third floor one today, and we'll have to make our decision tonight. I'm pouty I have to spend my break stressing and packing. Though I suppose the stressing is all my doing, and I really could be handling the situation better. I need to be stronger and calmer about all this crap so that Casey feels he has a teammate, and not some stressed out girl he needs to take care of, at his side in St. Louis. I need to learn to not let my emotions get the best of me all the time.
I just watched Tristan and Isolde. I really like that movie, but MAN is James Franco BAD in it. That's just some bad bad acting right there. Casey could have played that part way better. I can't believe I haven't done more with my day. Perhaps I'll go work out. We should probably start packing tonight.
