Got a message from Jessie saying her daughter had an ear infection and now she has a cold, she hates driving in snow and wishes she had my sweeping luck. She asked where we’d live if we got a trailer and if we looked at apartments. I told her we’ve looked at those as well as duplexes and houses. We always like to keep our eyes peeled for what’s out there. I reminded her why we’re so anti-apartment and that while apartments would be the most convenient route, a trailer would probably end up saving us money till we could get what we wanted. Besides, we probably wouldn’t qualify for a rental house that was run by a management company. Their standards are ridiculous. They want you to make 3 times the rent. While he has pay stubs to show, what do I show them? My win list? Then tell them, “Why work when I can just win?” Not to mention the fact that my win list looks seriously exaggerated! What do I say to that one, that it’s only cuz I’m psychic, though I fully understand that while I can’t seem to win a million bucks, I know it’s not “normal” for people to win trips, cruises, ATVs, gift cards galore, thousands in cash, etc.? So anyway, what we’re hoping the trailer and new car will give us is the chance to hunt for houses owned by individuals that suit us best. They can’t afford to advertise online like the houses managed by companies that are all paid for, so they put signs in their windows and they aren’t as picky. They simply can’t afford to be. On the other hand, we don’t even know if we can stay in this area with the way it’s so damn expensive here! We’re gonna just take it one step at a time. That’s all we really can do anyway.
