I haven't written for over a week now due to a pretty severe flu I contracted, (which I'm pretty sure was due to the eletricity being shut off in my building). It's not like I couldn't pay the bill, I'm still pretty flush from the sale of my half of the house (40% to Claire's 60! Uch!) but unfortunately, my landlord 'Gay Tony' couldn't cover HIS protion, so the whole building had to suffer. Unreal! Luckily, Gay was able to "push some weight" around so we're all paid up through January 1st and the lights are back on! Just in time for me to start job hunting in ernest. Wish me luck!
