The last few days have been rather stressful. On Friday, we found out that they are going to be raising our rent by nearly $200 and for the place with live in, thats just too much. While its a nice little apartment, it is just that, little. For the same price, we can find a small house with a yard to live in. Friday while annoyed, we were optimistic.
I took dog to the park and we walked all over, by end of day, I had 5654 steps! It was great! Saturday was as I expected, in the car for a while, sitting around chatting at the bbq we went to, but I did get some exercise in walking down to the creek and back up the hill. I have been so stuffed up that coming back up that hill, while not big, was enough to get my heart thumping and me gasping for air! When we got home, we really got into looking for places to move to!
That was when discouragement hit us! It is stupidly expensive to rent right now! In our area, there is hardly anything under $1500 a month, and if there is, it is something even smaller than we are in now! Its ridiculous! We are having to look way out of the area we want to be in.
Any one know of anyone renting a house, 2-3 bedrooms and 2 baths for around 13-1400 a month?
Oy, would be so much easier to give in and just try to get prequalified for a loan and buy, but we dont have the time for that either. Not when we have to be out by end of next month. It sucks.
Yesterday, we had found a few prospectives, and went and looked. We did put in an application on a place in Spanaway, but there were so many people there doing the same since it was an open house, we arent feeling very lucky, though I do wonder how many of them can boast $0 in credit cards?
Second place we stopped at we found out was a scam. Someone was using the dude who owned it's name and scamming people. It had been rented a few days prior, and the guy lives in China for work! Bunch of BS! People suck! So yeah, got home and did more looking, nothing much came up though.
I just have to keep going!
Today hasnt been that great. I have a horrible headache, cant see well but the bridge of my nose is so sore that I cant wear my glasses with out pain and making the headache worse. Im super tired too. Hopefully this sinus crap will end soon and I can go back to my walking with out feeling like Im about to pass out. Made it to the mailbox and back today and was exhausted!
Sorry for all the bitching today, but I just needed to get it out there and vent a little.
On a good note, I've lost a few pounds, and they are actually staying off. Nothing significant, just 2-3lbs, but enough to make me happy, and to show that progress is being made, if rather slowly. But progress is progress!
On that note, time to take more meds and maybe a nap!
