OK, I need a better nickname than "Blind Woman." How about ... no, can't call her by undergrad institution because that would infringe on her privacy.

ANYWAY, the woman without a nickname, she just said to me, "See ya later."

Ha! My guilt is assuaged! "See" has colloquial usage that is not limited to sighted persons.

Thanks to all for birthday greetings! (and even Michele!) Saturday I went out with Tami and Ahmed and Bekher for yummy African food and beignets. Much fun! Yesterday was spent cooking and shopping (not in that order, clearly), househunting, etc.

Bad news. The house that seemed *perfect* for me is already rented out. But, we have given official notice with move-out date of October 10, so hopefully I'll find something good right around the end of the month. (Or, Jenny will have remarkable apartment-finding skills this weekend!) It's a very unpleasant situation with landlord - he told The Roommate that we have a 1-year lease ... which, we don't, which has been a major problem because he keeps dodging on it (he'll evict us if he can get more rent) or demanding I show up *immediately* to sign it. Bullshit. We're out.

I just spent 29 minutes on line with energy company. I hate hold! A tech is supposed to come out this Thursday, so hopefully s/he is able to clear up the difficulty. It's $100! ARGH!
