Good news - my roommate told me on Friday that she is moving out! She said it had nothing to do with our recent air conditioning spat, but that she has a friend who wants to get an apartment with her. Fine by me! Now I am looking into three options 1. find a new roommate, 2. find a new apartment with a different roommate, possibly cheaper rent, or 3. find my very own apartment. I'll keep you all posted.

Friday night we went out for dinner and while we were inside it started pouring out. I saw a guy come in wearing a pink shirt, suit pants, and black flip flops carrying a fold-up umbrella. At least someone was prepared. We had parked a couple blocks away but as we were on a main road, we were able to dash between store awnings. Under one particular awning a man and a little girl were doing the same. The little girl was holding a small plastic baby seat and strapped into it was a baby doll. The little girl was about five and she was clutching tightly to the baby seat as the lighting flashed and the rain poured down. As they got ready to dash off she was saying something about being scared and the dad said, "are you scared or is Benny scared?" I heard her say "both" as they ran out into the rain.   ¶ 4:34 PM
