Pros:
-I'm moving into my new place beginning sort of on Saturday and finishing by Tuesday, possibly Monday
-I'll have my own fucking bed
-itching is slightly better due to the profuse use of moisturizer
-we now have 3 going on 4 prospects for our housing
-we may get a rent decrease of up to $400
-I got driven to work and am being driven home from work tonight
Cons:
-I'm still living somewhere I'm not happy for the next little while
-I need more furniture than just a bed to make my new place feel like a home
-itching is still there
-each of the three prospects we have interviewed is at the bottom of SOMEONE'S preference list. We have one last person to interview tonight, and then we really need to make a decision
-we're still waiting for a rent decrease, no idea when or if it will come through, and really need it to score a cool person for the open spot
-My carpool can only drive me to work Monday and Wednesday mornings, and doesn't WANT to be driving me home those days. Considering that some Tuesdays I'll be staying in the South Bay for Buffy night, that's almost like having no carpool at all.
OK, so the housemate suck and moving suck will be over soon. But the commuting suck will last for a good monthish. Unless I miraculously schedule and pass a driving test Real Soon AND acquire a car and legal insurance etc.
I'm just so disappointed in everything. Things were looking so good... I was moving in to a household I envisioned as being a home---but with the wrong person it won't be---, I had a carpool...

Progress of some sort
Sep. 25th, 2002 09:18 amWell, we're in touch with the Landlord. He called Kat this morning at 8:25 AM when she was on her way out the door, and will be calling her back to talk this evening. So that whole mess may be resolved then. And my and Kat's favourite prospect is supposedly letting us know today whether she thinks she can swing it financially.
So at least that stuff looks like it is getting resolved. This whole saga will probably be over by tomorrow morning, which will be a serious load off my mind.
The lack of carpool is still sucking though. I emailed someone in the hopes of rides some of those other mornings, but have not heard back. And I will visit the carpool/vanpool website again today. *sigh

Status report:
Sep. 25th, 2002 04:14 pm-hitting send before re-reading is almost always a bad idea
-painful angstful arguments aren't any fun
-I've already lost weight. Either that or these pants have stretched out. They feel much looser around the waist than when I bought them. But I think I will still be able to wear them for few more weeks. Now I almost feel foolish for spending $100 on pants that I will soon no longer fit into... except I bet I'll be this weight again.
-exercise and stretching makes me feel good, but I'm still way out of shape
-I'm more graceful than the random chickies in my aerobics class. Go figure, years of dance training make SOME difference.
-I've been needing slightly less sleep since I started eating right and exercising more. I like this
-I learned the code for the room aerobics is in, so on non aerobics days, if I brought my dance shoes to work, I could go practice latin in there and get back up to speed before I try to take privates
-Jessie, the neato Dyke chick from Worcester, turned us down. More like, she gave us a conditional acceptance based on her rent being $600 instead of $725. We are talking with the landlord tonight about negotiating a decrease in rent, but barring that, this leaves us with Dan, JP, and Dana who we are interviewing tonight. Dan I can't bear the thought of living with. JP, Kat can't bear the thought of living with. Maybe Dana will be good for us all? I don't think we could get JP anyway, because he has way too many options. I think Dan is a poor choice for us given where he is ranked for different people. Our only other option given no rent reduction is to find someone to be our temporary roomie for a month or two. On five or so days notice.
-I found someone who may be willing to drive me on the other mornings, so I may be all set for carpooling. We'll see.
I think I'm going to go home, shower, and eat dinner, and try to get to the interview ON TIME. I've only been to one on time so far, and feel really lame about that.
