SO I successfully moved over the weekend. I am not liking my new place so much but hope it is only for a few months, until august hopefully. I hop by then to have a new job and maybe qualify for a home mortgage.

This new place, the person who owns it has cats and seems to be not very good at cleaning the liter box, or else she is so use to the smells that it does not phase her.

I hate the smell. I am keeping my door closed and the cats out and am leaving the window open about an inch for fresh air in my room. That helps quite a bit.

This new room is going to cost me about 200 more per month. I think I could have found something cheaper in the long run but I just wanted out of my situation. He made it impossible to take the time that he said to take to find a new place, was grumpy and depressed.

I had to pull some money out of savings to cover the move. Originally I had arranged to use a mover then the day before they cancelled on me! I managed to find enough family and “hired” two young men to come and move the two heavy pieces for me. Ridiculous but at least they got the two heavy pieces upstairs when I didn’t think it was going to be possible.

I took money out of savings but I think I am going to be able to put most of t back since I got paid from a friend who owed me money for the trip to LA last week. That is nice to be able to return to savings.

I went and say two condos in the area I would like to live. 525000 and 464000! Outrageous! The first one was nicely laid out and I really like it a lot, but other than the size it is not really worth that much money. And the dues per month were almost 400! The second one was two bed/bath one story and was not worth what he was asking.

I am going to start looking at foreclosures and see if I can find anything reasonable. Saw a couple on line that were possibilities but I want to live in an area that I feel safe living in by myself and most are not even close to that.

I’ll keep looking.
