Preparations for the great and terrible move continue, with the low worry of money hanging in the background. Last night was my last night at St. Andrews Legal Clinic and I said my goodbys, and ate chinese food and thought about how much I've learned (I don't know most of the answers, but I at least know some of the questions now).
We've made arrangements to wrap up the house, but have yet to talk to the landlord. Since J needs to stay for a while, we decided the best way to handle things was to find someone who wanted to rent the house, and stay on as a roomate. We figured he could trade free rent for our security deposit and get off the lease when we were all moved out. That way, everyone wins-the landlord doesn't have to rerent the house and deal with the deposit, the newbies wouldn't have to put down a shit load of money at the outset, and we would save money and time. Crazily, it worked out perfectly-J has some friends who are living in an apartment with their new baby and a roomate. Apparently, the same day I was interviewing in Newport, they were talking about the need to find a house, and decided they could spend as much as $900 a month, exactly what we pay now. Yesterday when they came over, they immediately fell in love with our big old place (it's hard not to-it is a beautiful old house), although it could be that the thought of all that space intoxicated them.
I'm still trying to nail down how much money I get for moving expenses, and I'm feeling worried. I need to talk to another guy and figure out what the deal is. I have a line on a house just outside of Yachats (!), but move in costs are around $2000 and I don't know how I could raise that much money. I can borrow about $1000 from my mom, but we're flat ass broke, have no credit, no savings and own nothing that we could possibly sell/hawk/burn for the insurance money.
Something will just have to work out, I guess. I'm flying by the seat of my pants on this one, but it's nice to have less dire problems occupying my thoughts these days.
