Ok, now that I have slogged through far too many apartment listings, I'm finding what I want in a price range that I can afford. I'm not being very picky. My only thing is that I want a gas range, cable or DSL ready and a preferred private bath. Oh, and having cats be ok is another plus. The whole greater situation is: How am I gonna pay for it AFTER I move. As it stands right now, if I were able to keep my job and relocate, I could easily afford it. 2 potential jobs listings have caught my eye. I'm not saying much, but it would be working for either Sony or Nintendo. I'm leaning more towards the Sony side, as the hours would be more reasonable with an active school schedule...that and weekends off. w00t! And furniture becomes another issue. Ikea, anyone? But for right now, it's looking like I'll be able to move out near the beginning of the Northern Faire season.
