I am moving out of my house this Friday after only being here for a year when we planned on staying 3/4 years at first. I love the house and all the space and memories but I can't continue to take care of my roommates who stopped paying their part of the bills. I love to help people but when they need it, not because they want to keep money in their pocket and force me to spend mine. So, since I refuse to support 2 adults, and I will only have my sister and my gf living with me, 4 bedrooms is too much.
After a lot of frustration finding an apartment, I won't know until Monday or Tuesday if I have one. The area we live in favors low income families. Basically if you make TO MUCH they will turn you away. My gf and I are not considered low income... I went to a handful of places that turned us away just based on half of what we make. Finally found an apartment manager that wanted to work with us to find loopholes in the application so we aren't turned away.
I don't feel like my house is home anymore. My walls aren't covered in our posters and pictures and everything we put up. Everything we could have packed is in boxes stacked around the house. I think even the cats know something is wrong. I just want to get out already so I can make our new apartment feel like home as soon as possible.
I won't mind not having all the extra space we have now, it's a lot of upkeep for me. I will be ok with the smaller master bedroom I get. Less cabinet space (half my cabinets now are empty). I am going to miss my bathroom and closet! Have you ever seen a closet shared by two lesbians?! Lol. It's packed full of clothes and shoes. Plus we have 2 dressers stuffed full. And the bathroom is the same... all our lotions and hair stuff and body jewellery... I won't have my huge counter anymore. Hopefully we manage top get used to it. Plus I'm excited to not have so many bills to worry about.
I hope everyone had a good weekend and the work week goes smooth. I should get back to cleaning and packing the last of my stuff.
