Back to the daily hums

Back on my patio with Lincoln lying patiently at the foot of the lounge chair. My plants on the ledge below are looking pretty good. After my conversation with Freddie Ashley, I realized that I cannot keep houseplants alive, but I am doing okay with the outdoor ones. Merrideth gave me a Starbuck's gift card for my b-day, but also included a little pack of flowers for my new digs. I hope I have a place to plant them.

I did a little bit of craigslist searching yesterday and found a very cute little one bedroom cottage right in Central Davis. There are 5 units and this one is available in June. I truly hope one comes available in August. I have yet to hear from the dippies at J Street and I am getting a very good vibe from this one. Cross your fingers that this will work out.

I also heard from the contact person at Today Management -- my condo association folks. I really want to rip her throat out. Gosh, am I that violent? But she finally responded to my requests from LAST THURSDAY! She said that an inspector will be looking at the list sometime this week, however honestly she feels that most of the requests are ridiculous. Um, this is where the desire to rip her throat out comes from.

Anyway, I am in the process of doing all of the repairs from my end. The HVAC is in working order and I just had a sheetrock guy come and look at my ceiling and wall in the living room and a little break in my office window. There are other little fixes that I hope to complete myself -- with the help of Erin Haas. Um, I guess I should call her first before announcing it to the world.

As soon as all is fixed, it looks like Ashley will have another caravan and I hope to get another buyer shortly afterwards. I am trying not to get nervous that I will leave without selling. At least there is activity on the housing side.

The moving side of things is a little more static. Right now I am leaning towards one of those Door to Door shippers and driving my car with my Dad and my two cats. Anne Ehlers put one in for the cross country drive. I have never done it and it may be a good experience to do it now.

I have started to do a bit of research on syllabi for intermediate acting classes and I am very excited about the possibility of teaching it this August. If any of you actors or acting teachers have any advice on warm-ups, texts or scripts, please let me know.
