We returned to Pittsburgh Thursday evening, to find that the burners on the stove were fixed, but none of the locks on the windows. Lobos Management has been "really busy." Then today they send us a copy of the lease in the mail, only it's the old version, the one that says we can't have pets and that our rent is $25 more. After a long, exasperating phone conversation (the receptionist actually said: "I can't read the fine print on your lease. I'm not wearing my glasses.") and a visit to the management office, we finally have a copy of the CORRECT lease. But the windows remain unlocked.

The animals are all having issues. Piper loves the new/used couch, but has phobias about the small three carpeted steps leading to the bedrooms. Rue has taken to hiding in closets and shivering, and the new one (formerly known as Sophie, now unnamed -- though Jason suggests Bongo Bongo) is on two types of antibiotics for a nasty cold and worms.

Jason has found a temp job though. He starts work on Monday, in the Strip District. And yesterday we went to the Carnegie Library in Oakland, and was pleasantly surprised by the Documentary Videos and International Poetry section. The fiction section was lacking, though. But it's much better than the Astoria libraries.

Mister Bongo Bongo is a great name for a little cat!

Who said there's a Mister in that name??

Hey, you look a little skinny in your profile picture. And a shower might be in order.
