Lock-down Day 146

Not a good night. I barely slept. Between my brain and Mewthos, I don't think I managed an hour at a stretch. I was at work half an hour early!

I looked online for places to rent, and came across one, which seems perfect! The only problem I can see is, that it has only one sink in the kitchen, not 2! I know, right? That's not a real problem!

Awww ... no cats! Why? Because the owner, who also lives on the property, has vicious dogs. A previous tenant lost their cats ... 

And 'owner also lives on the property' sounds too much like what I'm having a problem with right now!

Before I started looking, I made a list of what I want. Safe for my mippies = low or no traffic, gas stove, full bathroom - bath and shower, garden, open plan kitchen, privacy, garage would be nice ... Oh, and preferably 2 bedrooms!

I went and collected my drivers license today - yay! It's taken me nearly 2 years! Unfortunately, At was not so lucky. Because of the mess they made, when he applied - they never resolved that mess. He spoke to the supervisor, but he, too, is powerless to fix this - my guess is that it has to do with preventing corruption. So he has to go through the whole process again ... 

I suggested, we get the eye test done right away - as it's such a mission to get away from work, mostly timing that we're both available. As we did that at the Mall, I took the opportunity and went to the bank for the information for my aunt, then to get some groceries - but the prices were not good, so I didn't get much, and then to Clicks, where I got a few things I've wanted for some time - including some glycerine for my cigarettes!

I went to the cigarette counter, but they didn't have filters, nor papers, nor a roller - but I did buy a carton of Marlboro. With the whole situation last night, I didn't get enough cigarettes rolled, so it was good to get something pre-rolled.

I looked for a place to stay. Nothing which said 'home' like that first place I saw this morning. At will look up the contact details for a great agent who helped him and another colleague will get me the local Brits paper.

Oh, and in case you're wondering how I feel about the tables being turned on me, that I don't get to drop them, but they're dropping me? Actually, I feel good about that! I'm glad that my conscience is still clear - I've still never deliberately been ugly! In a way, I feel that I've been spared :) Plus, I still never moved freely - the decision has been taken out of my hands. So, my track record on that matter remains unbroken, too!

And, of course, I'm not going to spend more months enduring - and will start living again, soon!

Overall: It's all good!

I did see several places in my price range, in various areas. But, like I said, nothing that looked as perfect as the first place! What made it so perfect was the kitchen: stunning, spacious open plan kitchen, with a free-standing counter where the stove was built in. That was dreamy!

Who knows, I may find something similar.

Feeling much better today, and I have a lot of sleep to catch up on, so tonight, I'll get to bed early!

All three mip ladies weren't gone for long - I hadn't even started cleaning the litter box, when Janey showed up, soon followed by Mini and then by Ziva! I waited and waited, then eventually called Mewthos - who didn't let me wait for long, either! Now he's playing 'catch' again, ha ha! Well, I've rolled myself some cigarettes (stuffed, actually), hand half a sirloin steak - Mewthos, Ziva and Mini had the other half! So, now they enjoy Sirloin again - weirdos!

Okay ... I'm tired ... bed for now ...
