Home?

The "Find a Place to Live" search is going well. I looked at a cheap but kinda dingy place on Monday. $500 a month, which is a lot cheaper than what I'm currently paying. It would be a room in a four bedroom condo. I put my foot in my mouth though when I met the owner. She said she had all these papers she needed to file from when she owned her own practice. And since she's younger than me I thought and said out loud, "Oh are you a paralegal?"
To which she replied (and without a hint of piss) "No, I'm a lawyer. A prosecutor actually."

Oh... well don't I look like a sexist fricking jerk. But she's got me all wrong. I'm an ageist fricking jerk. Honest!

Either way, the place was ok but the price was right.

Last night, I looked at a place that was $550 a month. It was also closer to my job which is nice. Less commute=better commute. This place looked amazing though. The room was bigger. It was just really cool. Plus I didn't offend the owner. And the owner likes Buffy and knows some people from my work. Which is great on both counts.

I'm pretty settled on picking the place from last night. I have to bring Outlaw over to the place tonight to make sure the owner isn't allergic. She has a cat but apparently she's allergic to some breeds. She said she would know right away if she was or not. Outlaw better not screw this up for me. Or it's dingy $500 place I go.

That's really all I have for now. I'm stressed out and probably will be till this whole living situation is resolved.
