All right. Well, days ago, I mentioned to those of you who read my journal that my roommate died, and I only had a short time left in his home before I would eventually have to leave.

Well . . . that time won't be an issue for me anymore, because I finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel.

On Wednesday, I got an offer to rent out a one-bedroom, one-bathroom house in Kansas City that was pretty sweet. It was up-to-date in terms of the appliances, the layout, the rooms . . . everything. And it was also in my price range. The only problem was that it put me over a half-hour away from work. But since I had nothing else coming to me, I decided to take it. I downloaded the rental agreement the guy sent me and filled it out, ready to scan and send it to him.

But then . . . an even better deal came my way when another guy called about a place he had that was just eight minutes from where I'm living now, and not much farther away from my work. Probably just seven to ten more minutes of driving. It also offered a hundred dollars less rent to pay, and he was willing to take in my dog, too! Well, I felt like that offer was so much sweeter, so I jumped on it and took it!

I will be touring the property just after I get off work tomorrow, and if I like it, I will have a new place!

It's nice that, despite a tragic twist of fate, I still have managed to regain some footing. I just hope that my good fortune continues!
