Home Economics

So this is a pre-emptive post, I just can't hide my anxiety/excitement about this prospect.

There's this place on Yates Street that sounds like a dream.

The downside is it's going to cost $550/month to live in. Not that that is expensive by this city's standards. And, I did just get an $0.80 raise. Then there's the fact that my current rent is $200 less than that.

Oh, the inconveniences of moving. Yet, the prospect is too much to take.

I've sent the manager an email and left a phone message, but the place just got up on craigslist.com today at 4:00pm, so I hope it isn't yet gone. K.L. and I are calling tomorrow morning to set up a viewing, hopefully an immediate one.

I really want this place. Rooftop patio with fireplace. Scenic downtown views. Literal steps from the heart and core of the city. Dishwasher.

These are the manifold attractions of our prospective apartment. K.L. and I have been hunting, DAILY, checking the classifieds and postings online looking for anything remotely close to what we want. This is exactly what we want. I will be seriously heartbroken if this one doesn't pan out. So close to the end of the month, and it's available IMMEDIATELY.

I've done all I can to try to do my readings tonight but I can't focus. I wish it was 7:30AM right now so I could get up, shower and call the lady so that we're the first to snatch it.

Oh god, I hope it isn't gone. Really, like I'm exhausted with searching. Anyone reading this -- pray for me. Pray, even though god doesn't exist.
