Notes from house sitting

While house sitting for the last three weeks I have noticed I am glad I don’t have a dog. I can be around someone else’s dog for two weeks, after that I get tired of it falling me around all the time. I am glad I live alone.

I am staying in Aurora for this house sitting gig and miss parts of living in Aurora. I miss friendly neighbors and seeing a variety of different kinds of people. Not to say people in Lakewood (my side of town) are not nice but there is a different attitude and it is all white people. I think the driver’s in Lakewood are better drivers though…less tailgating, they get accelerate to the speed limit quicker, they drive the speed limit, and they seem to drive with purpose. I cannot say the same for the drivers in Aurora...

I have reinjured my ankle a few times so I have spent most evenings on the couch with an ice pack watching movies or reading. I wanted to get out and try a few restuarants but so far I made it out to a Caribou Coffee twice, an old Asian restaurant that I use to love, and to a book store once. I hope to make it out once or twice this weekend!

I can watch the same movies over and over and over again. In the last three weeks I have watched the following movies or parts of the following movies, multiple times: The Ides of March, 21 Jump Street, Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows, The Descendants, The Green Lantern, and Safe House.

I have watched various boxing matches & the play offs...I love having access to cable

Grass at people’s houses grows insanely quick when it rains. I have to mow it once at two different settings for fear of over loading the mower (which did happen). Glad I do not have a lawn to mow…

The nice thing about Aurora is I can find the wine I want at a decent price in a liquor store. It is harder to do so in Lakewood...
