monetary considerations

[dchenes]

Reality (in the form of the budget) bit me, and the fish and chips and beer has been shelved. Sigh. Chinese food and possibly ice cream isn't really what I want, but the budget will bear that.

I also sent out a query about a 1br in Brighton for a whole $25 less than my current rent. If I really want to not be broke most of the time, I have to get my rent down to about $850, but for that I can get a studio, and I don't want the TV (or the kitchen) in the bedroom.

And it's Friday, and I have to remember to get up at a reasonable hour tomorrow morning so as not to be late for my haircut.

HUNGRY. Today has arranged itself awkwardly, and I can't do anything about lunch until 2:00ish.

Sigh. I'd take you out for beer, fish, and chips if I weren't contracting today. Will you settle for an electronic hug instead? How's about I throw in a free Merp in the bargain??

BTW, there are quite a lot of apartments for rent right now it seems. (I've been keeping my eyes on Craigslist because Jill wants a place of her own too.) I'll let you know if I see or hear of anything reasonable. I assume at this point that you would really rather not have a roomate if you can avoid it?

Are you absolutely positive you're not willing to entertain the thought of having a roommate? That would at least give you the option of rent @600 (if just one roomie), possibly lower, and a location more suited to you. Just a thought.

I know, it would be easier if I did that, but I really don't want to live with somebody I've never met before, and everyone else I know is married or engaged or living with their significant other or not looking for roommates either.

Well, I guess in the end, you have to balance out the ideal situation versus what is workable for you.
