I've just realized how close we are to the day we have to have a place to live. It's a week from Sunday that we depart for Egypt, apartment or no. All of our stuff will be in boxes on that day, sitting in a corner of (I expect) this apartment, waiting for us to return and move them all to our spiffy new home, wherever that may end up being. I really have to get on the ball and get cracking with the cleaning and dismantling and somesuch. I swear, if I could I would just leave everything here and move someplace where finding something as simple as an apartment isn't so bloody difficult. The meeting we have on Monday is to put down some amazingly insane amount of money (I want to say around $6000) to hold an apartment with a rent one tenth that. It's simply unreal. And to top it all off, we'll probably be in a hotel because the apartment won't be empty.

And, just to add insult to injury, it looks as though we may be homeless in Zurich as well. we originally booked the flight so we would have an overnight stop in Zurich, and could visit Sasha's brother. But it sounds like that may not work, leaving us to get a hotel there, too. Amazing.

You know...I wondered why you were staying for a night in Zurich! Now I have the answer. Good luck with getting things around. Things are falling into place here, so you'll have places to sleep, at the very least! *laugh*
