Tired, moving, and mildly amused by life.

I started the day at the gym, then went straight to work at the salon.

I had my first client today, which honestly felt really good. I haven’t cut anyone’s hair in two weeks and apparently I am not meant to go that long without working — it didn’t feel great. So being back behind the chair, scissors in hand, doing the thing I know how to do, felt grounding. Productive. Normal in the best way.

After work I went to look at a rental. I had a feeling it wouldn’t be a fit… and I was right. It was small, the yard was trashed, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around how rentals here work — like how so many places don’t come with washers and dryers and you’re just expected to bring your own? I’m sorry… what 😂

After that I literally just drove around for about two hours, up and down neighborhoods, looking for “For Rent” signs like a 90s movie montage. I found two places… and both of them don’t allow dogs. Of course they don’t.

So, back on the hunt tomorrow.

The evening was spent at Aili Healing with some friends who rent space there, which was actually the perfect way to end the day. After hours of doing and searching and thinking, it felt really good to just be with people, breathe, and soften a little.

It was a full day. A little tiring, a little chaotic, but honestly a good one. It felt like momentum.

Finding a place to rent isn’t easy, especially with a dog — but I’m here, I’m not leaving, and something is going to line up. It always does.

And tomorrow… we hunt again 😄
