A lot has happened since my last post back in September.
Before I got around to my October Rose City Abode post, which never happened because Brent was moving in, we got notice that the condo association wanted to put the condo I was renting on the market and thus would not be renewing my lease. Brent's lease was up December 1 and mine would be up March 1. Brent moved in anyway in November and we decided to just start looking for houses, because let's face it, renting sucks.
What? It does. I don't want someone telling me they've sold my dwelling and I'm SOL ever again, or that they're going to, or whatever.
Then my biggest client photography-wise had a budget crisis, and I suddenly had no more income. Oh dear.
So I went back to the post office, but taking a severe pay cut along with it, and not as many hours as I was used to getting. At least I was back in, so Brent and I resumed looking at houses and put in a couple offers.
And then USPS announced 5-day delivery, as if it could get worse come August.
And then they renounced it, but it might happen after September or something. And Brent hasn't been getting as many hours as he used to, either.
Good thing our offers got rejected! We stopped looking at houses, and with two weeks to go until my lease was up, we divvied up all our belongings between his parent's basement and my grandparent's basement, shoved it all in his race car trailer, and moved into his parents' guest room.
Our old place went on the market about a week ago, after having been renovated. No more pink carpets, no more broken stove or broken fridge or ugly bathrooms. I never ever want wall-to-wall carpeting ever again, I'm so done with carpeted stairs...etc.
So anyway, our old place, (with new BEIGE CARPETS, BLEHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!) is [no longer on the market]. I love how they wouldn't fix the stupid stove (one burner never worked and the fridge, oh, don't get me started) while we were there, yet as soon as we moved out...
That's what happened.
(January 2018 edit: BEIGE CARPETS!!! Still can't believe they made that place even uglier! hahahahaa!)
