It looks like I've finally got a new room-mate! Credit checks came through, situation to be mutually discussed in a month or two to make sure we don't hate each other, etc. Bonus points: Great Big Sea is one of her favorite bands, so at least we won't fight about music.
The weight of financial worry this takes off my mind is unbelievable. A room-mate or lack there-of is the difference between me putting $200 in savings every month or taking it out. It feels a LOT better to be on the positive side of that, especially with both Fiddletunes and a trip to the UK for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluwyngz and pyoor_excuse's wedding (tickets cost 150% what they did last time I went - ouch). I know I can afford those with money in savings, as long as I'm not draining that fund for daily expenses.
Btw, Kat? I would have come even if I hadn't found a roomie, it just would have gone on the credit card. :P
Now I can buy my carrots! Except, since I don't carrots my "once you find a roommate..." rewards are seasons 3 and 4 of Red Dwarf and perhaps interesting body creme stuff from villainess (if anyone's ever ordered from them, let me know).
ALSO! I have exciting happenings related to sheep and their astronomic adventures, but that's for another post.
