Yesterday I went to the doctor for this sinus obnoxious thing I’ve developed. She gave me a prescription for sulfa-based antibiotics and sent me home. I took my first dose last night. Looks like I’m allergic to sulpha-based antibioitics. I broke out in a rash that has moved all over my legs and arms. I called the doctor when the front desk receptionist pointed out that I could be having an allergic reaction....

Woot!! And a third!
Okay, I did some heavy praying this on Friday/Saturday in hopes that the house will have good showings and that the person who is meant to have the house will find it (and hopefully buy it). Since Friday, the house has had two showings. I just got a notice for a *third* showing tomorrow! Related Images:
Continue reading...And yet another viewing!
Maybe this will be the week when things change for the house. There is another viewing today. It’s been a long time since I’ve had more than one viewing in a week. My real estate agent and I lowered the price on the house, too. I hope it sells soon. Paying rent + mortgage is going to suck. Related Images:
Continue reading...Another showing!
Maybe things are picking up. The house has another showing today from 02:00 PM – 03:00 PM. So that is two showings in a week. Not too bad, considering that it was several weeks prior to the last showing… Related Images:

Here is some great news: I’m picking up the keys to the apartment today. With the help of some co-workers, I’ll move my stuff this weekend. Arg. Third floor apartments have a great view, but getting things up there sucks. Related Images:

Tomorrow at 11:00 AM someone is supposed to look at the house. Here’s hoping they like it! Related Images:

Continue reading...Apartment Search Completed
Some good news at last. I looked at two different apartment complexes, both about 5-7 miles from the office. The first place had a reasonable townhouse (1200 sq. ft.) for about $70 more per month than I was comfortable paying. However, it was available immediately and they allowed more than three pets. I put down a deposit but told them to hold my check until the next day. I frantically searched through information...

My sister and I looked at a nice apartment community yesterday. I really liked it. Slightly more than I could reasonably afford, but it was biking distance to work. (Talk about cutting the gas bill!) The only down side to the apartment was their pet policy: only two cats allowed. I have three. The property manager called me back today: they could not make an exception to that rule. Oh well. Back to...

Here is an interesting idea: WEBook. According to the web site, the purpose of WEBook is to: WEbook is a revolutionary online book publishing company, which does for the industry what American Idol did for music. (Modestly speaking, of course.) Welcome to the home of groundbreaking User-Generated Books. WEbook is the vision of a few occasionally erudite people who believe there are millions of talented writers whose work is ignored by the staid...

The house is being shown today. Here’s hoping that the people really like it. I need to sell it soon. It’s getting old having it on the market… But the maret isn’t exactly spectacular either. Related Images:

Remember the lady I had called earlier about boarding near Hillsborough? She called me last night. Her daughter is going of to college so she’ll have space for one boarder? Well she called me. Originally I had told her that what she wanted would be too much and that I wanted to check around. (And I have not… Her rates were about par for the course, but no one else had the type...

The site is currently going some updates from WordPress 2.1.3 to 2.5. The photography page is offline while some compatibility issues with the gallery are sorted out. Hopefully it won’t take that long… but you know how it goes. Related Images:

I looked at houses on Sunday with my friend in Hillsborough and my younger sister. We drove around Hillsborough and Carrboro (a little too far away from work to be feasible). One house sounded good: old Mill house built in the early 1900s with one bedroom/one bath for $600/month. No problem with pets. Sounded great. Things always sound better in ads than they do in person. The house turned out to be less...
