I was so excited the other day because I had found this really cute place that is “nestled” in this really cool neighborhood filled with old Victorian/New Orleans type style houses. The streets are quiet with wide streets and trees lined up and down the sidewalks. I realize that I’ve been living too much in the concrete jungle of downtown too long. It was absolutely lovely.
I had done a “walk-by” where I went and walked around the neighborhood and the apartment to get a feel for it. I walked to the big park that is located 2 1/2 blocks away from this place and saw that there was a large area, at least an acre or more, where people had their dogs off leash. I thought, “Oh my gosh! Perfect for Charley and I!”
I had an appointment with the apartment people to do a tour at 10:00 a.m. I was nervous which I don’t know why. I just was really excited about this place and the surroundings and felt it was just right.
I got there about half an hour early where I just made myself busy by taking in the surroundings a bit more when all of a sudden a call came through on my phone. It got forwarded to voicemail before I had a chance to answer it. It was a message by a Johnny that apologized, but couldn’t make the 10:00 appointment that day, but if I would like to text him back at this number…..in which he proceeded to say his number when all of a sudden he was cut off with the last two digits missing from the message.
I, of course, panicked a bit until I just decided to call back the number that he called from, which happened to be the actual leasing office. I got a voicemail message saying to leave a message, sorry they missed me, and they’d call me back as soon as they were able.
I did that, but nothing so far. I figure I’ll just go ahead and reschedule another tour for the building and see where that gets me.
Unless, of course, this is a sign that this place isn’t the one for me. Could always be that. Maybe something is wrong with the place that I am not aware. I am a true believer in if it is meant to be it will happen. But I have to put in the effort.
I am at the beginning again in which I found a couple other places that are in that area that sound and look good. I once again had to leave a message with the rental office and I’m waiting to hear back from them.
Actually, I just saw that they did leave me a message on my phone. So I will call them back and see where this gets me. I shall see.
