Closet Space

I am so very sorry I have been absent the past few days. Apparently, not feeling well at work and throwing up at work is just not acceptable. I was sent home on Tuesday for just that reason, went to the Doctor on Wednesday and slept the day away. Feeling a little better now, but still have the remnants of whatever virus decided to take a hold of me.

BUT some very exciting news! Finally, after 4ish months, I am starting to look at apartments. This does mean that I will be living here for at least a year, but just as in grad school, there is a need to finish out the term. So- I will finish what I have started.

I have a roommate, and the funny thing about her is that we are in the EXACT same situation. She is living with her Great Aunt as well, same age and all. She is the only one who really understands where I am coming from and why I am itching to get out into a space to call my own. Her and I actually went to pre-school together, grew up together and went to high school together. We lost touch in high school- separate friend groups, but have come back together and it's going to be the perfect set up. We are hoping to be out within the month (Maybe a dream... but we are going to try- for sanity reasons).

Last night we met with a broker- and he was the reason there are stereotypes. He was just plain grimy.... We might be better off just doing this on our own, but in a city where both of us are a little inexperienced, having some help is necessary.

Our budget is a little lower than the standard of New York real estate- specifically for where we want to live. But we agreed that we would live in closets, as long as those closets are ours. Both of us do not have space to call our own and that is what maks living with family twice as hard.

So here we are at the next adventure... details to come!

Peace, Love and Closets,
