Homeless part 2 (a.k.a. Broke)

After a brief struggle (that lasted for 10 days) to find a place to live, I finally did it!
I am the happy tenant of a 2 bedroom condo. It's 20 minutes away from my office, which is a plus, as I was sick and tired of commuting for 2 or more hours daily, back and forth...

Anyway, I moved in and started to look around the house... I realized that I need tons of things, to make my life easier. But, I guess I'll have to do it all in time, as I am now officially B-R-O-K-E!

Note to self: putting together a to-do/to-buy list gives me a big headache.

I also realized that finding a "roomie" is a must, so I started asking around. After interviewing a few colleagues at work and some friends, I got somewhat angry because everybody told me that they were interested, but in the end, all turned down my offer.
The last option was to call my best friend and ask him to move in, as I knew that he wanted it too, but he couldn't afford to split the rent. So we reached a gentleman's agreement: he'll start with a small rent and we'll increase it gradually, as he starts to earn more money. It's a win-win situation, even if I'll be a bit on the down side with the money in the first couple of months. But, hey, something is better than nothing! (that's what my grandma used to say all the time)

That being settled, the only thing that keeps my headache around is the fact that I still don't know what to do with my ex-girlfriend... It'll be a heck of a weekend!
