Things are starting to fall into place in a way that make it apparent we will be spending at least the next six months in the east bay, probably in this one bedroom (!) apartment that is in a great location, if a little run down. Aside from the location, the best part is that we won’t have to sign a lease, so if we decide to leave the bay area as soon as E. finishes nursing school in December, we can do that. Or if we decide to stay and E. gets a great job, we can rent a two bedroom again, or whatever.
It’s a little hard to accept that we’ll have to pay the same amount we’re paying now for our two bedroom to live in a one bedroom, but I know also that we are very adaptable, don’t really have that much stuff, and all actually like to pass stuff on…
Rio and I went to see the musical Gypsy at the Palo Alto Children’s Theatre last night. The show went kind of late (10:30), but he loved it. It was a little strange to see a cast of kids/teens doing burlesque and swearing for an audience of kids/teens and their parents, but also really cool. Obviously it wasn’t as scandalous as it could have been, but I’m sure it led to some funny discussions on the way home!
Rio’s interpretation of burlesque is that the focus is on really small, really fancy costumes. Which is pretty accurate.
