the apartment we looked at today was really bad - like, one room was missing half the flooring and they (the landlord) just put carpet over it. luckily it was only the current tenant there, though - she told us about the landlord and that she's... not great. so even if the apartment had been decent we wouldn't have been interested after that.

#it also helped us further narrow down which places/villages we'll consider from now on #it's basically just down to three places now. #and they're the same ones we would have preferred the last two times we moved. #but damn I'm just really not willing to go through all this work again just to end up in *another* shitty village that I know I won't #really like. #I'd rather stay with my mother for a couple months if it means we find a good place. #(it'd have to be my mother and not my in-laws because we're pretty sure they wouldn't want our cats in their house. so) #like it'd SUCK but I can. not. keep moving somewhere new every fucking year #especially since it takes me a year to start feeling sort of at home #we've been thinking we *might* be able to start thinking about maybe possibly mayyybe buying a house at some point. if I find a job and if #it's one that pays enough and so on. #and we would really rather not move again until we can do that. #(if we can. it's only a very vague idea at this point. but we've realised it's the *only* way we'd actually feel fully comfortable somewher #we're bad at living in a house with other people 🙃) #(and there are *no* houses for rent that aren't absolutely huge and/or way too expensive) #personal
