A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

The apartment where I put in the app just called. I can have it.

It's about 2 blocks from H's place, month-to-month lease, enough space. It's not fabulous but it's minimally adequate. It's also too expensive at $1650/month. I might be able to negotiate the rent down but given the progress in the sitch, maybe I should let it go?

In my convo with H this morning, I told him I was getting a storage unit, and that we could spend some time going through the house (which is way crammed with stuff from a previous downsizing move), get rid of things, put stuff in storage, etc. He said this was a good thing and it's a plan.

I put the apartment people off til Monday so I could 'go over my finances and make sure I'm making the right decision.'

I'm clear to stay here with H until around the beginning of October, and if done right, I think I might be here for good.

Do I take the apt or let it go?? Do I talk to H and let him know it's there, or do I tell him it was too expensive, what?

Thanks!!
