Last day of unemployment.  I was back on Kijiji in the morning looking for another good buy.  I got very lucky again.  A guy posted an ad for a black, leather sofa for $40.  I called it within 1 minute of the posting.  I told him I'd come to look at in right away.  It's a good thing I did... Dave and I arrived and two other people were there who wanted it.  One of them was very rude and pushy ... I think he might've been a used furniture dealer or something because he arrived with a cube van ready to go.  Anyway, the guy was great, and said it was spoken for, and he helped Dave carry and load it into the Toureg.  He was a very nice guy... I think Dave wanted to be his new best friend - also because he was a chef.  Anyway, long story short, I got this amazing full size, black leather sofa for a mere $40.  It's in great shape, too!  I bought a few more smaller items today - got a mirror and a wall picture from Goodwill, too.  I will have to post a photo of my new place if and when I ever find one.  That way you can see all my newish items in their new home.

This evening, Lurline and Dave went to see the final Harry Potter, so I went to wash my car of all the dead insects and dirt, then took a drive into the Mission district where I'll be working.  I thought I'd see if I could once again find an apartment I could look at.  Unfortunately, I didn't come up with anything.  Regardless, I did drive up this road that led me to this great view of the city... very near to where I'd like to live actually.
