got a lead. it's more expensive than I wanted but... it might have to do. dog friendly is hard to swing, man. can call some others back soon and see if anything cheaper opened up.

on the flip side, got new place to put all my money that i'm even MORE happy with than expected heck yeah!! getting my junk out of chase, i've had them ever since they ate up washington mutual, and i've always hated it. but now I'll have a credit union!!! and not deal with greedy banking jerks anymore!! omfg a checking account without feeeeeeeeeeeesssssss

renter's insurance is planned as well. getting the car cleaned up, and the bike painted. might take my dad's for a spin before it gets dark.

things are lining up slowly. :D
