On a more positive note, my birthday is coming up on the 18th and the best present anyone could get me is help me on my quest for an apartment. Application fees, deposits, and first month's rent ain't cheap. My credit is improving, but still not amazing so there's a decent chance of an extra deposit too.
I'm not nearly homeless or in any dire situation. I have things budgeted and I'm getting there on my own, but I've already had to push it from the end of February to the end of May and that's probably still gonna be tight.
