It's funny to me, how sad I will be to leave this place. Really it's just a one room studio- but it's the only place I have in the world right now that's "mine". The reality however, is that anytime you rent anything, it's not really yours. Someday I'd like to have a little house of my own, so I don't have to feel like my enviornment is so contoled by an outside organization that is more likely to have their interests at heart.
Now that the place appears to be clean, it's hard to keep to a difficult decision. I can't stay in a place that has a high propensity to flood, both from a creek that runs by the door and from the septtic tank. My landlord did get me a carpet cleaner...but 24 hours after the place had flooded with sewage.... so I cleaned most of it up myself because I didn't want my kitties getting into it.
