obliviousally_ljWell, there's our silver lining.
It's by no means set in stone, but it's a possibility.
We were down at the comic store today on a whim and talking to Greg, who owns the building (about three stories, the comic shop is the first floor + the basement). He was telling us about his cat and having to go to the vet (this is going somewhere, I swear). He said that the cat was staying in the empty apartment upstairs so his two other cats wouldn't bother him (he just had surgery). This sparked something in my head and I waited until he had a moment alone to inquire about said apartment.
Five minutes later and we're being shown around a really nice studio apartment. Newly redone in the last year (the buildings downtown are OOOOLD and not in the best looking condition inside for the most part).
He has someone who's been saying they're going to move in for the last two months. He's waiting until the end of the month before he offers it to us officially.
It's $500/mo. Everything included. Rent, utilities, cable, internet. Free use of the washer and dryer, as well. Comfortable, safe, secure. Downtown (literally, right across the street from the courthouse), easy to get to everything, walking distance from plenty of places including food and (vauge) entertainment. No issues with our animals at all.
(plus living ABOVE THE COMIC BOOK STORE HELL YEAH)
This is a REALLY GOOD deal. This would be GREAT for us. We'd be out of this shithole and our from under the thumb of Al and TJ's mother.
The downside? At the moment, I'm only making, like, $500 a month. That's IT. I'm planning on getting a second job, so that would help. I'm willing to bust ass for this place because it's such a fabulous deal and location and alsrkhgkldfhg everything that It'd be so wonderful for us. If I could find something downtown, even, that'd be better. I could walk to work and wouldn't waste gas for a second job.
So, we'll see. I'm trying not to get hyped about it because, well, I don't want to be let down. But, until then, I'm going to save as much as possible and think positive.
