and these days I feel like I'm fading away
I'm in a bit of a counting crows mood as of late.
I've had a few really productive days lately. The apartment is back to normal with all the Christmas decorations put away and I re-arranged both of the bedrooms and the closets there in. We're going to be having some guests in the middle of February and I figured I should reclaim the guest room and actually turn it into a guest room/office. For the last year it has mostly served as Noah's closet. In fact - when I moved his things into the closet in our bedroom it marks the first time in the four years we've been living together that we have shared a closet.
Noah's been sick lately and yesterday I started to feel a bit off as well. Hopefully I can avoid the fever he's had for the past 4 days. I really don't want to be sick. But then again, who ever wants to be sick right?
We were originally going to move at the end of this month as our lease is up and we thought we'd explore other options. The grass is always greener. It took the landlord of the new place we found FOREVER to eventually accept our (very fair) offer. And by now we've pretty much decided to stay here. We have a dishwasher (which is totally rare in Dubai), a really nice pool, a decent gym, plenty of space, AND they're building a grocery store in the retail space in the ground floor of our building. All of those things combined with the annoyance of actually moving have led us to stay put. Hell, it's just another year. We just need to make sure we get the air conditioning to work this summer.
Now that we have the housing situation figured out I really should start looking for a job. I finally have my residency visa and have the ability to work so I should probably do so. I just really, really hate looking for jobs. But again, doesn't everyone?
anyway. this is about all that's "up" on my end. if anyone out there even still reads this.
