Not Too Well

I find apartment hunting more than stressful.  It makes me physically ill.  So many variables to contend with.The list:

dog friendly, hopefully without a monthly fee and/or one time fee
garage
snow plowed
A/C - prefer central A/C (hey, I've been living in the south a while:))
grass is mowed
washer,dryer in unit
1-2 bedrooms
first floor only
800-1,000 square feet
lots of sunlight
hardwood floors

price friendly $850-1250 plus utilities not over $200 a month.


Oh, and an honest landlord.  We think Wall Street is corrupt. Helllllllllllo.

The thing is this.  I am done with the south.  Finito.  I've been ready to be here for 18 months. In my own comfy place.  I loved the south for years. My heart will always hold a place for my adopted southern community and my friends.  They are the best.

My family is expanding and I am needed here.  I want to be here.  I feel wholly different here.  More complete.   Now I need a place to be.  A condo fits the bill.  And I have two dogs. 

A huge thank you to my daughter who figured out this contraption of an air conditioning system in the ceiling.  So many things to learn in New England.  Because of her, I can sit more comfortably on the lovely second floor of this home.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.
