Well I haven't had much time to visit minti since I joined & I do think this site is absolutely wonderful.  I just haven't had much time to myself at all...I have not only been single parenting my wonderful little sonshine but I have also been in the midst of what is commonly referred to as 'apartment hunting hell' .

There is a shortage of available (not to mention liveable...ugh seriously some unit's I have looked at are not suitable for an animal to live in!) apartment dwellings in my city & when I do get to look at one, the landlords always tell me, 'you wouldn't believe how many calls I have received over this ad!'  Yes, I do believe them as I have been apartment hunting for the whole of summer thus far & almost found the perfect place a couple weeks ago, but the heat was electric & I didn't want to have to worry about soaring hydro costs...

Well... the hunt is still on & today we are looking at a 'basement' apt (I swore to myself that I would never live in a basement again after getting S.A.D. b4)...but the landlord assured me over the phone that the windows are full sized & it's actually a semi-basement.  Well, I guess there's only 1 way to find out & that's by looking at it.  Plus, it's in a nice little residential area where my son can play outside safely (except there is no yard at our address...but a playground down the street!).

Well.. my little 'quiet time' this morning should come to an end now as I really can't let my son sleep too late.  School starts in only 5 more sleeps!  Yay!
