housing news

well. just when i thought i had nothing to report today, i checked the mail. seems my lease will not be renewed on this, my favorite apartment ever, so that my landlady can complete her renovation of the building. i'm stunned. i've long said that i'd never leave this apartment til i left richmond, and i'm not really ready to do that, but it's very difficult for me to imagine another alternative. i've got some soul-searchin and bullet-bitin to do, it seems.
