Dear Real Estate Market,

Please stay crappy for at least another three months. Or, better yet, get crappier! Because we have our hearts set on moving back to Manhattan, and if this cannot happen because rents are once again over-inflated and impossible to manage on an assistant's salary, well we will be very sad. And please don't send any brokers our way that would like to swindle us out of money, in the form of a broker's fee or any other hidden fee crap. We will not stand for that.

Prepare to be hit come early May! Prepare to be conquered! If only you knew how much I want to get this over with RIGHT NOW... but alas, we must be patient. And as the air turns warm and the sun shines on our faces with the promise of spring and rejuvenation, we rub our palms together in anticipation of the task before us. We set our brows with determination! We scour the Craigslist ads until our eyes blur the images of renovated kitchen tiles and stainless steel appliances and exposed brick all together! We calculate and recalculate rent and utilities costs and still, probably, end up weeping at the thought of all the moneys lost to simply dwelling in a dwelling!

Bring it.
