oh the drama

i've not a had a pleasant few days. saturday alex and i decided it was time to move. our landlady is crazy and has been illegally subletting the house. she gave notice to the letting agency but didn't tell the house. so we're out....we could cause a hoo-haw for the illegal eviction but the house is not worth the time or effort.

we found the greatest place saturday night but then on sunday night the flat fell through. so we searched again today and found a mostly suitable flat. the bonus? it's a studio! and it's all ours. but it's not in the most central location. the down side, i have to give deposit tomorrow and they can't promise to hold the flat until after school. so i'm hoping my school caretaker will take my money to the bank as soon as it opens and deposit it the letting agency's account.

the best part of my weekend was when a car was broken into right under our window. thank christ it wasn't my car. some strung out, junkie looking man smashed a car window at 11:30 to try and steal the radio. he didn't succeed. i called the police while a guy across the street chased him off. could i sleep after that? between the paranoia for my car and alex jumping up to the window with every sound there wasn't much rest.
