I don't have consistent hot water in my shower in my new place. No, it's hot for about a minute and then it's cold. Then it decides to turn hot after another minute or two, but lasts about as long. Talk about disappointing. There are those who don't have running water, and there are those who don't have hot running water. I am blessed to most of the time have both. But when I'm paying in rent what I'm paying, I'd hope it comes with the package.
I've had 3 friends in town this week- one to visit me specifically and two who were here to see others, but I've gotten to hang out with them as well. It's great because it bolsters my San Francisco pride, keeps me occupied while I haven't quite built up a social life here, and I meet new friends through them. One of them is about to go through what I'm in the middle of, so it was so nice to unload and her to understand why this has felt like a never-ending roller coaster this last 2 weeks.
I got locked out of my place on Monday night. Yes- no key for the top deadbolt, it was locked, and my landlady/roommate who was home didn't answer her phone or the door bell multiple times. Talk about frustrating to the point of almost anger. There are those who don't have a place to live or sleep inside safe from the elements, and there are those whose home does not feel safe. I am blessed to have both. But when I'm paying in rent what I'm paying, I'd like to get in to my home on a regular basis. There evidently is no key to this lock and my landlady/roommate's solution was to tape the lock so she can't forget and lock it out of habit. Brilliant.
I've settled right in to the running club I used to be a part of. I've reconnected with some of my closest friends. San Francisco's weather has been glorious during the day the last several. I'm now a Registered Nurse in CA. Friends have been checking in with me from other parts of the country. I've applied to countless jobs so hopefully something will come of that. There have been so many good things that have come about. Life will get more settled. I'll get off this roller coaster soon I hope, but not after I'm already past my fill.
