I decided it's time for me to live on my own again. No more roommates. Just me, Bodhi and Veruca. I was having a hard time finding a place that I can afford that also meets my requirements.
Monday at work, a client I always liked, but haven't seen in about a year stopped by to buy something. I remembered that he lived on the same street as me and for some reason asked if he still did. He replied that yes, he did, and asked if I still lived on Weldon as well. I said that I did, but was looking to move into my own place. He became very excited and said the the guy who lives in the other half of his duplex is moving out and it hadn't been advertised yet. He gave me the owner's phone #.
I called the owner, and whatta ya know, he's also a client I haven't seen in while who always liked me. He said the current renter was giving him a hard time and perhaps it would be better if I called him to see if he would show me the apartment. He didn't expect he would agree. I called the current renter, and yup, another client, who also always liked me. I saw the apartment that night.
