I normally don't like to post about personal drama, but I need to vent somehow. There is a very real possibility of being homeless in the near future. The chances are on the lower end of the scale, but going from near-0% to 5% chance is a pretty big deal.
For the last 7 years, I've been living with an old high school buddy. I moved in with him because I could afford to move out of my parents house, and moving forward with my life is always a good idea when you're 27, and still have not made that first step. Living with him and his other buddies has had its challenges, but considering the cheap rent and good location, it's been well worth the headaches. I also was only 15 minutes away from my family, so I could go visit them any time I wanted.
All of that is changing this week. My parents sold their house and are moving 2 hours away, if I take a ferry. My friend is moving out and going to Texas, and I kinda doubt I'm going to see him again. I'm not getting kicked out just yet, but since his mom owns this house, she's going to need to rent out the empty rooms or sell the house. The problem is not only that I suddenly am going to get stuck with a bunch of Craigs list randos, there's a big concern that she'd even find anyone willing to live here. She's a hoarder, and since it's her house, she's always leaving things here. So while there is room here for me and my stuff, anyone viewing the house gets turned off immediately. So in all likelihood, she's going to sell and I'm going to be out on my ass with no explored territory for me to retreat to. I can try to find a new place, but I don't want to get stuck in a situation where I have to keep moving all my expensive stuff all by myself. Hell, with my parents out of the area, I will have to rent some truck or van just to have a bed elsewhere.
