We have to move.

Well, this sucks. We have to move. :'O(

Saturday I opened the front door to find a note from the apartment manager. It was a 60 day notice to quit. Boo hoo.

In a way, I'm a bit glad that we are being forced to leave. Hopefully this means no more strangers showing up in my house, or gang members, and no more people sleeping in my living room.

But I don't want to be in this situation of having to move anymore. ARGH! Where will we go? GRR.


ETA- This was a draft saved on 6/1/09, so I am publishing this with that date, even though I am finally publishing it on 3/11/12. :o) It just makes sense to me for future reference as well.
