Well if anybody read my previous comment, I had a date a few weeks ago and scored an apartment. She allowed me to move in earlier, before she moved out. So we're roommates now! And it's a studio apartment so ya she's an angel. Of course I immediately started doing all the chores and trying my best to cook the best meal for her.
To be honest I'm sad that she's looking for a new place. I wouldn't mind living with her. In fact I think I would really like it. It's like we just click.
Anyway I woke up with the same smile I went to bed with. I was technically homeless and living in my office. It was damn cold. I am talking 13 degrees if you set the heating to 1000 euro a month, because electricity and war.
We used to heat it with wood and that was like 350 a month, but at least it was warm. It's not allowed any more.
Well I'm just glad things are more stable now. It's too much to explain but it was really bad. Now I can take care of the stuff that's urgent and then hopefully I'll be bored for a while. Then I'll continue with my life work!
I'm really glad you're in a better spot now. Definitely hoping you can keep that trajectory.
My eyes popped at 350/month. That's..... that's a lot. Around us $750 gets you two cords and that's enough to heat our space all winter (but the house is <1200 square feet so it doesn't take much).
Same size here actually. And I've invested in isolating it, so you could add that to the cost too. But that's just a relatively small issue compared to all the others there. I just had to get out.
In fact today I felt like I was hit by a truck. Slept most of the day and couldn't concentrate at all. All that stuff you pretend that doesn't bother you, it catches up. But only because I'm safe here now, and so I can let it.
Thanks for your kindness.
