A Delux Apartment, In the Skyyyyy...

sisabetHaving now formulated and embraced a new plan - I feel the need to share it as I crave validation in any and all forms. Also - if I put it here, I am much less likely to forget key plan parts.
I have decided to give up on the house idea for now, no matter the seductiveness of a fenced in yard due to:
a. Houses are more expensive
b. I would be responsible for the yard upkeep and I don't do well with upkeep responsibility
c. Utilities will be cheaper in a complex
d. Finding an affordable apartment that accepts pets is much easier when going thru complex.
I'm running back home for lunch. They have a one bedroom that I want to see at current complex. If I like it and all goes well, I will sign a lease and give them a deposit. I am not freaking out about this. I want my move in date to be 2-23-04 which is the day after I leave Unknown LJ Tag's place. I have that day off and I figure I can get the bulk of my books and clothes over there on that date and be able to set up getting cable and all that before I actually move in. I'll have to get my furniture into the new place as well, but if I look helpless and befuddled, I can generally count on my dad to figure something out. Since he is extremely busy right now, I figure Dawn will step up and handle getting my shit moved down the street.
It is important that I get this handled right now. Uncertainty will put me in an early grave. Or at least give me panic attacks. I'm on the verge of a panic attack as I type and it is only rereading the plan that is keeping my breathing steady. I need to communicate this to my heart-rate. My jaw is clenched - but that is just something I am gonna have to live with until...well - until I win the lottery.
God. A budget. I just wrote out a budget.
