Well, after being turned down for rental houses and such at a rate of approximately 6 times per day, I found a house (well, half a house, actually, it's a duplex) that will let me have my pets, and has a laundry room on the same floor as the kitchen and TWO bathrooms in a nice neighborhood! Unfortunately, there's about 100 applicants for the same apartment... and it's going to cost me even more per month, but it looks like a nice, quiet neighborhood and that alone is worth the extra money. I have a 1/100 chance, but I'm semi-optimistic!
Whoremaster and I are going to "Mystery Envelope Bingo!" this morning to (hopefully!) win some money. And the more I add up my approximate moving expenses, the more I realize how much I'm going to need it! We should have a pretty good time, though - you get extra "wampum points", a free continental breakfast and 2 pull tabs (otherwise known as "rip offs" for very good reason). I should be OK as long as I stay OUT of the casino, away from the slot machines and especially the Black Jack tables.
But I'm so weak...
5X ended up having the day off and wanted to go too, but I generally don't mix the guys unless we go out as couples, and Yoko isn't going 'cause she has to work, and Whoremaster feels like a "third wheel" on the rare occasions that we do. I can see his point, though - if he invited me somewhere and at the last minute says Yoko wants to go, too, it might make me feel awkward. So I just told 5X that he and I would go maybe next week by ourselves.
This is assuming I'm not moving. I won't know until the weekend when the landlord decides who he's going to rent to. Turns out while I'm there, the guy knows me. He remembers me from being friends a LONG time ago with my first husband. If they haven't seen each other in years, this could work in my favor. If they have, I'm screwed.
Oh, wish me luck!!!
