Local Girls, Movies, and A Rejection

I did the sheriff, but I decided not to wait for the 4 pm bus back downtown. I called CC - she has guests and cannot give me a ride. The taxi company cannot get someone to me before 4 pm.  Just when I think I get control of my patience, I decide to walk down to Hoyt Avenue. Well, I get tired of waiting there, and I have doubts about the bus route since there is a detour on Hoyt. I walk down to DIY. There I catch the bus.

All that gets me home 30 minutes earlier than if I had waited for the 4 pm. No app from Middletown Properties, no texts. I am getting pessimistic about tomorrow's meeting. It may be that they will not rent to me due to my criminal record.

I requested tours of some more apartments. It feels like time.

I shifted the email. I walked down to McClure's. Maybe I should try to get some work done on "Love Stinks".

Some notes from the email follow.
