Browse Day: July 31, 2007

feeling homeless

dsc_7475.jpgI went into the city today in hopes of signing the loan docs on our new condo in the morning. Unfortunately, the bank was dilly-dallying and so I spent all day just hanging around with nothing to do but wait for a phone call from Jes.

My day of wandering started when I picked up a sandwich and coffee and ate on some random steps in front of a building. Luckily there were other people doing the same so I didn’t totally stand out. Later I roamed around and checked my email at the Apple Store. Once that got old, I walked over to the Ferry Building to check it out. I’d never been there before and was pleasantly surprised at all the cute little shops they had there.

For lunch, I met up with Susie. We had pho and it was tasty. Afterwards, I headed south of Market where I found a cool Cartoon Art Museum on Mission & New Montgomery and strolled that for a little bit. By then, my feet were getting tired so I thought I’d find a good place to set-up camp. I contemplated taking a nap in the park but decided to walk around the Metreon. Luckily, I found the food court where they had free WiFi. Sweet! Ah, a place to sit down. After about an hour, I was getting sleepy and was very tempted to put my head down. I felt like such a bum.

Finally at 3:30, Jes called and said to meet him on 1st St. We went to get some cashier’s checks and then to the title company. We finally signed the papers this afternoon around 4:30 and it felt so good to have it done. If all goes according to plan, we should be picking up our keys on Thursday. Yay!

Afterwards, Jes decided to go back to work so I took the bus home. On my way home, I realized that I didn’t get the house key from Jes. So, here I am, sitting on Jimmy’s front porch, surfing the internet, and waiting for Jes to come home. I can’t wait to have a place of my own.

on edge

I’m such a dummy. I don’t know what’s going on but I’ve been pissing Jesse off left and right these past two days. Yesterday I scratched one of his rims on the car by driving up a small curb and today I put my AC Transit card in the cash slot and lost it. *sigh* So as I sheepishly took my seat, he said to me, “I have enough stress as it is without you giving me more.” The guy behind us in the bus line later came by and said, “My wife did that with me once too.”  Haha.  Unfortunately, that didn’t cheer Jesse up.  Poor guy. He’s been so stressed out with the loan docs getting messed up, talking to the moving company, and worrying about the car that he already sold to a guy in Palms Springs. I’m not much help, am I?

So, I’m on the Transbay bus that picks up in front of Jimmy’s house and taking it to the city. It’s so comfy in here and there’s free WiFi!! Now if only BART would start doing that…
