It’s nice to be back home fluffy rambles
Every time I get back from San Francisco I am so grateful to not live there anymore.
Music, comics, art, and other stuff, all in one gigantic pile. The web of yesterday, tomorrow!

Wow, I’d forgotten just how awful San Francisco is for disabled people.
Everything here involves a lot of vertical movement. Stairs and hills everywhere.
Today things have gone significantly better than they had for the past few days. The plumber was able to complete all of the work this morning without incident, the tenants are taking care of paneling the wall (using plywood instead of drywall on the plumber’s recommendation since that makes future access easier in case any maintenance needs to happen), and everything’s all ready for the new washer and dryer which are set to be delivered tomorrow.
I also made it safely to San Francisco, and checked into the hotel. I was afraid of the worst, thanks to a bunch of incredibly negative Yelp reviews, but my room is totally fine. I thoroughly checked for any signs of cockroaches and bedbugs (both visually and using a UV flashlight) and nothing seemed amiss. The linens are perfectly clean, the mattresses are in Good Enough™ condition, and everything’s fine. The room’s just a bit dated, and it’s noisy what with overlooking Mission St.
