Just when things don’t seem to be going all that well sometimes things seem to fall into place the way that you want them to. First off we finally got in to see the house that was for rent on the other side of the block from us in Hickman and it was just awful. I was afraid I was going to get AIDS from a random discarded hypodermic needle or something. The place was just disgusting. If we were to move in there it would take weeks of cleaning before it was livable, there was mouse crap on the shelves and disgusting grime everywhere. They must have used some fancy photoshop work on the pictures that they had posted for it online because it wasn’t even close. We didn’t completely rule it out though until we started finding fleas on us though just from walking through the place. NO WAY.
After that we were starting to accept that we might have to get an apartment as a last resort since nothing was really coming up that was worth a damn that didn’t cost a fortune. That was a pretty big deal since Jessica said that she would leave me before she moved into an apartment (she wouldn’t really leave me, she just hates apartments that bad). We started looking again online and I checked Craigslist again for the thousandth time and came across an ad for a place in Air Park in West Lincoln. Air Park is the area that used to be the family housing for the old Lincoln Air Force Base, and they have built some new developments there as well. Anyway it is great for my commute, but unfortunately terrible for Jessica’s. I was almost going to say no it’s no good because of that but we called and set up a time to take a look anyway. It’s a split level house, probably only 6 or 7 years old. Holy crap the place was nice, way nicer than the rent amount they are asking for. He said he bought it as a foreclosure about 3 years ago and fixed it up which is probably why he can afford to rent it so cheap since the mortgage payments aren’t as high as most places in town. They are getting married and moving to Omaha and either wants to sell the place or get it rented ASAP, whichever comes first. They were super cool people and of course we were interested in renting it so I hope it all works out, he just has to check our our credit and references and stuff and will let us know tomorrow. It looks like an awesome place to live and the utility bills are way lower than they are in the old house where we are living now so if we did get it we would be saving a ton of money there as well. Cross your fingers, something might actually work out in an awesome way at the right time for once! I’m gonna give it a Caddyshack nanananananananana if that helps.
Back at work, back in school. I can really see the allure of not working for a living after being off for 9 days and not really doing anything the whole time. I don’t see the allure of being a dirty homeless person though so the key here is to become independently wealthy somehow, or have Jessica become independently wealthy and I can be a kept man… why didn’t I ever think of this before?
