Day: August 31, 2011
Song: Diamond Dave, by Bird and the Bee
Meal: California Roll
Admission: I am so SLEEPY! Today was full-- long, enjoyable, stressful... tiring. Slept in later than usual and had to head out to LA not long after with the mom. We checked out apartment number 1, in Palms, which would be super close to my work, and stuck around just to be polite; suffice it to say it was a tiny bit sketch. I had my mom drive me my old Smuggler route to see the houses on Lucerne on our way to Larchmont for lunch. She was awestruck by how pretty and peaceful the neighborhood was, two things you don't think of when thinking LA. At Larchmont Bungalow we had a yummy egg dish and I had fresh squeezed Lemonade. Yum! The next two apartments were, contrary to what we were promised, locked and unable for viewing, so that was stupid. We decided to take a break and head to the Grove to check to see if the Anthro there had the dishes I wanted to get. They didn't, naturally, so I comforted myself by buying a few pretty knob things, because I've always loved them and even though I don't really have any use for them they rock, ok? We waited out the rest of the worst of rush hour by having a glass of wine, and then headed to the last apartment over on Olympic. This place from the outside is precious--light yellow, covered in ivy, black and white awnings; but OF COURSE the woman who was supposed to show us "forgot" and wasn't there. I think this final annoyance might have what been what pushed me and my mom over the edge and we ended up taking it out on each other as we drove home. It wasn't fun because despite the hiccups of the day we remained in good spirits until now and it was just a bad note to end on. We both tried to make amends at dinner, and I think it's ok now.
I'm exhausted. I just want this search to be done now.
Goodnight.
