Apartment Search
I went to another area today to look at an apartment and met a lovely manager, and possibly have found a place for me and my cat at last that won't cripple me. To make things clear, I am in a limbo state so long as my father is alive. I alluded to this in the movie Proof which is pretty apropos to the situation.
I am not going to discuss that all over again, but the point is that by going to this apartment I will be returning to a place in AZ where I lived in the past, reminding me of my youth, and my years as a beginning teacher. To live there again is a bit of a stretch, but there is a good reason for me to choose this particular spot. One, it does not charge pet rent or ask for a pet deposit. It is clean, it is less expensive than this high rent district where I now live, and it is nicer in many ways, as the maintenance of the grounds is better than here.
There are two other places I will look into but for the moment I am pretty much deciding to take this for six months at least, so that if my dad does pass away I am not in for a long term. We just don't know what the real state of his health is at 95.
I would like to move to Vegas in one way but cannot afford that at the moment. I am still always hoping for a big major change in finances but so far I have not achieved that.
My reason for putting on Guy Lombardo's Enjoy Yourself is that I remember it from the days of the Royal Canadians and I loved it and realize how true it is, that time passes as quickly as a wink, and whether you like it or not, the best time of life is the time when things go right for you and you have a good time.
People make our lives happy or sorrowful. It is all that simple. Animals do not do much either way but simply befriend us as we befriend them. They give back whatever it is that you give to them.
People to some extent do the same things. So if pleasure is what life is mostly about then it will be enjoyable. And pleasure is far better than pain or agony in my opinion, so I say enjoy!
Apartment hunting has given me a certain kind of freedom. I can at least get out of here and maybe make some needed changes in my habits now. Won't discuss my problems here. Not the place for that now. Just that I realize how quickly time passes, but we must make the most of our days the best way possible. A pet to have with us is a good way.

Keys and Purses
This evening I came home to open my bag to take out my keys, and saw that they were not in the pocket area where I keep them. I was stunned, dismayed, and upset as could be as these are my apartment keys, and what could have happened to them. I am chronic about checking and protecting them all the time. I panicked out. But I did empty my purse, did not see them anywhere, got on my cell phone, called a neighbor, as I had to find the maintenance man to let me in the apartment. I was scared as all get out.
I went to the office and it was fifteen minutes after closing, so that I had to get the maintenance man to help me, and so had to call my neighbor to learn which is his apartment. I found him, he was wonderful, went to the office, got me a set of keys and gave them to me to open the door.
I saw a friend of my neighbor's who has a car, and I went to him to ask if I could get him to help me to find the keys if I could. He was so kind to say yes that he would help me, and so I went to his car, and as we were driving I noticed that there was a hole in my pocket where I keep them. I thought, uhoh, maybe they fell through and maybe they are in the purse yet. So I felt around and sure enough, they had fallen through to the interior of the bag. What a relief! So we turned around and came home. I was never so grateful to anyone in my life as to both Dave and Jared who befriended me when I needed it, and Lee, who did help me, with finding Dave, and reminding me to get a spare. What an evening. I will select a song video for this to calm my nerves which have not yet recovered.

Ben Affleck in The Great Gatsby
Wow! This is some story about the remake of The Great Gatsby. I was stunned to see the major stars who will perform in this film. This is such a great shot of Ben Affleck. I love the photo that was used here in this p.r. stunt. He is who has always reminded me of Hephaestion when I saw him in my time lapse ability. Hephaestion is a truly handsome looking man, and I admit that I have seen his likeness on more than one occasion.
On that note, I did reread parts of my first draft to my Alexander novel, and I have to admit that it is very good. I still like it even this much later after writing it, and of course, I know that I have lots of work to do to rewrite it later, but for now, I am in the midst of apartment searches, have to nail down a new place in which to live, and so will be busy this month getting that matter straightened out.
Then maybe I can bear down on this novel and get it finalized for first draft form and then rewrite it for publication form.
Lots going on now...
