(no subject)
Life is certainly interesting right now.
I found a place to live but the situation is really...unique?
It's a lady named Jane who is 59 and needs someone to live in her house and basically just do little things for her(run errands, prepare meals, light cleaning, spot her in the shower, etc). Most stuff only taking like 30 seconds - to - 10 minutes at a time.
The pro's?
-I'll be living in a house
-It's a 55+ community so I don't have to worry about noisy neighbors
-I get my own bathroom
-My bedroom is quite large
-Rent is only $50 a week plus like $7 cable tv and whatever internet will be. Whoopdeedoo.
-I will no longer have to listen to my roommate masturbating or having phone sex every night(*cheers*) at least god I hope not *squick*
-She seems really cool for the most part(she grew up with the Allman brothers)
The con's?
-I'll be responsible for someone else's well being(although I've done it before, it kinda freaks me out)
-Besides having a job and doing errands, I can only be out 2 nights a week to play pool(ouch)
-I'll be living in someone else's house so it might not feel quite like -home- to me
-She doesn't want me having that much stuff in my bedroom, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
So yeah, I've been freaking out because I have like 7-8 boxes, a few suitcases and a couple garbage bags full of stuff. None of the boxes are HUGE, and I know that once I unpack everything will be put away and there won't be any clutter. But when I take them over there(today or tomorrow), I don't want her freaking out and being like "OMG that's way too much stuff!" I already have 7 garbage bags full, and ALL of my unicorn figurines, to donate to salvation army either today or tomorrow. *sigh* and a lot of it is stuff I don't want to get rid of, but I'm making the sacrifice. so I just hope that she understands that.
If it turns out that I arrive with my stuff(+dresser, computer and desk, stand for my tv, half-tall book shelf and cd tower) and she freaks out and says it's too much, then I know that the situation is NOT going to work out and I'll either stay with a friend and continue searching, or start the drive to California to move back in with my parents.
So either way, starting either sometime today or tomorrow, I won't have internet except AIM(I have it on my mobile phone) for at least a couple days until I either get it installed, or I'm back in with my parents(which I don't want to do but will if I have to).
So yeah. Life certainly is stressful right now but I'm doing the best I can in my situation. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude and keep my possibilities open. Tonight I'm going to go play in the ladies tournament at Stix to hopefully unwind and forget about it for a while, and to say at least a temporary good bye to everyone.
To those who went, I hope ELF is going really well!! I really miss you all and I'm so sorry I couldn't join you. It just turned out to be completely the wrong time for me :( I really couldn't have done it, what with all the moving crap and everything I've been doing. Say hi to Billy, Sean, John, Daniel and the others for me!! I miss them! I wanted to talk to Daniel about a tattoo idea i had, that I wanted him to draw *pout* oh well, next time.
I really need to sleep. I'm exhausted but I'm not sleepy. Ugh.
