Well...it's my day off today and in a bit I'm going to frolic off to go pick up my friend to help her find a new job. If she gets a job before mid-January then she will be my potential room mate when I get a new place. If not...then I'll have to find a little studio on my own.

My gf is moving back in with her Dad in order to be able to afford to rent a chair at a Salon and build up a client base so she can make more money etc... that whole thing. Well, her dad said he didn't want me and my dog moving in as well because it was too much to handle (my gf will be bringing her dog with her and two dogs plus two people will be overwhelming when he's been living alone for years since we last moved out).

SO I need to get my own place. I'll start looking in January...first for 1 bedroom apartments or possibly cheap 2 bedroom apartments if it looks like my pal will be getting a job. Then once mid January hits it'll get serious. Really I can rent an apartment any time in January once my last month's rent for my current place has been paid...I can only hope I'll have the money for a deposit and first month's rent etc... Ya know...all the stuff that comes with renting a place.

Also I need to find a place that's okay with pets :\ This is difficult as I refuse to give up my dog for the sake of finding a place. Is that pathetic? He's like my furry little child and I raised him from a pup. If it was life or death or if it was unhealthy for him, then I would find him a new home (for his own good) but as long as he's happy, he gets to stay with me! It's just that pet-friendly apartments tend to cost a bit more or ask for a pet deposit.

Hopefully I can find a place that will let me pay the deposit in payments in the first few months or something. That would be ideal.

Well those are my thoughts for today. I need some coffee.

Love,
Champ
