My day in the office, but I got up plenty early to get cleaned up and head down there. I woke Julian before I left, found parking under the bridge, and the door to the office was unlocked when I got there. Yay! Julian texted me in the afternoon because he needs a cosigner for the place in La Mesa, since he doesn't make 2.5x the rent. Has to be in California, so his mom's out, and Rachel won't do it. I thought those 2.5x requirements were for gross income, not net, and his gross should make it, or nearly so. It turns out he was hinting that I should do it, but no. Aside from the obvious reasons, my debt-to-income ratio is already fucked, and he said he can't ever see me again after he moves out. I had hoped we could stay friends, though as we've gotten to actually know each other for the last year, I'm not sure we would be. We just don't have much in common.

I've figured out that I can avoid my normal crash when I get home by just keeping up the momentum. Cat boxes, trash, I got my journal mostly updated, bought the brake pads for my car, and found where I'd put the painting Colleen bought me. Productive AF. Ashley texted me to check in; not sure if she saw the missed calls from Messenger and Google Voice from the other day, but I got her caught up. I also looked around for roommate/room rental situations for Julian, and found a bunch of affordable options. I didn't sort through them, just sent him the map search. He watched Netflix when he home, hadn't fed the cats by 7:30, so I did. He said he would have, but that's fine. Also didn't want to talk or think about getting a roommate.
