Sunrise: August 28

A strong thun­der­storm tore through last night and left us with an over­cast sky. It’s a dis­mal, muggy morn­ing with fallen branches lit­ter­ing roads and lawns. A van parked under a tree down the street from my apart­ment had its roof rack severely bent by a fallen limb. I felt bad for them, but it could have been a lot worse.

Someone Please Rent My Apartment

August 26, 2009, 2:36 pm | View Comments

At the end of July, the morn­ing after my friend Krafty’s bach­e­lor party, I decided to move out of my Mt. Ver­non stu­dio apart­ment. Six days later, I signed a lease on my new Ham­p­den apartment.

Unfor­tu­nately, it’s almost Sep­tem­ber and I haven’t found some­one to take over my old lease. I have five days to get every­thing trans­ferred before I need to pay rent on an empty apartment.

I’ve shown it to five peo­ple so far, and a sixth is com­ing tonight.

I’m get­ting really ner­vous and stressed over this. I’m not sure I can afford two rents for another month. Still, I love my new place and most every­thing about it, but the inabil­ity to shed this old place is start­ing to keep me up at night.

I just re-posted my Craigslist ad. Surely some­one needs to move into a place Sep­tem­ber 1st. Right?
