Feeling Stifled.

It's a little discouraging to have to be moving out, not because of the choice we made. In fact, that's quite the contrary. We had decided that it was better if we just stayed here for now, we'd spare us the expense required of moving; deposits, first month's rent, u-haul, pizza for helpers, new furniture or things needed with a new apartment that you didn't need in your previous apartment. With the wedding coming up, and me not working and being severely desperate, it's better if we just lived within our own means. Besides, do you know of the renting fares in downtown Madison? It's outrageous. They're tiny, crumbling, crappy apartments that charge you 850 a month, simply because they know that some of the students will make it, because they prefer the convenience of living in downtown, where there is a bus ever five minutes, everything, including the grocery, classes and bars are within walking distance. So, even if you don't rent it, somebody else will.

Scheming landlords.

So, this upcoming August, with everyone else we'll be homeless for a night on August until we can take over the keys for our new apartment. Usually, I would love looking at new apartments, but I am just not in the mood.It feels like too much work, though I guess we can't move on, until we get this over with.

All of this hassle, because our landlord decided that breaking down this apartment complex will bring him in a bigger, better and faster cash flow. Erecting new, modern building is the dream many citizens have. But I like Madison as it is. With it's old buildings, the charming rustic designs that makes you feel apart of the city. Madison always gave me a feeling of stability, understanding and order in this chaotic feeling. Now, one more building is going to be demolished and one more mid rise in the city, as if we actually needed that.
