Tracks to Clementine

Double Plus

So, Yellow Dog and I have been looking for a new place to live. Sort of. Like, where "looking" means occasionally dropping by craigslist and generally talking about what we want and the latest date we could possibly move, birthing-wise.

Some of the top things on our list:

• washer/dryer in unit
• dishwasher
• be in the lower end of our price range

But what we truly wanted was this:

• no search effort on our part, yet be wildly perfect

We now have a new place to live. It has zero of the first three things, but the last thing in the most beautiful spades that ever existed. My heart is jumping up and down (which is a little uncomfortable, but exciting!) because not only will we have more space and a park as our front yard, but two good friends as our apartment neighbors.

And yes: we were told about the availability on Monday, visited the apartment last night and were given the "yea" this morning.

Who needs a dishwasher when there's a rooftop deck?

PS We know we are freaking lucky and are truly grateful. So grateful that we are hiring a moving company and therefore will not be asking any of our friends to lift anything up four flights of stairs.
