Quick decisions
We almost held out for an apartment just a block from the beach, we actually found one and there were many more for rent signs out there, but that one didn’t meet one major criteria. So, yes, we settled, but we are only 5 or 10 minutes from the beach if we decide to take morning walks… not that I expect that to happen. And we don’t pay the electric… that’s a great thing in this heat…
If this one falls through, well, there are more, but we want to get stuck into studying now, not days later after searching when the one we found is acceptable.
And remember, NaNoWriMo begins at midnight local time wherever you area… start writing! Even if you aren’t ready to write a novel, at least use it as an excuse to freewrite. I am, but not at midnight….it will have to wait until the apartment is cleaned our way…
And, go figure…. when we lived down here 3 years ago, we met more rude than not… What happened? Or are they just waiting to blindside us? Most people have been polite, a few were like non-emotional robots, pretty much ignoring us and not downright nasty in tone like before…. Keep your fingers crossed… could this be the new South Florida? Wait, uncross them for that… keep them crossed that our house sells quickly, then you can cross them for the other… grin.
One response so far
Hi Marcia,
It’s nice and cool now.
You’ll have to send me a mailing address when you get settled so that I can send you a book. Or hand deliver it as we plan to be in South Florida next weekend. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Cool? You call this cool? OK, granted the wind has helped me survive the heat and today is only to go to high 70’s, but with BLAZING sun trying to peel my skin just from walking to the car… Hand deliver, either down here (hope so, or when we are up in your area… oh, that is where it is cool….grin… must be all the coolness of you as a new author.)
