Why isn't anyone awake to talk at 4am?

Yes, it is 4am. And yes, I'm at work, but on nights like this (nights some of you may describe using the S word that we don't say around here) my mind has been racing all over the place.

Here we are pretty much 2 weeks away from a new lease season in Oxford, and I still haven't made up my mind about what I really want to do.

I've been telling myself I'm tired of this town. Ready to go somewhere bigger.

I want to go to Memphis. So I thought. I've asked around and tried to find a roommate, because I do NOT want to move to Memphis by myself. No Luck.

Yes, I am tired of Oxford. Yes, I believe I have outgrown most of the entertainment in this town. However, I don't have a clear cut smart plan to move to Memphis yet.

Did I mention my lease runs out in two weeks?

I love the condo I live in now. Absolutely love it.

Wouldn't mind living there for the next five years or so, BUT it has some draw backs.

It's 4 bedrooms... a little too big for a single nurse working nights.

$1400... a little too expensive for a single nurse working nights.

I've been stressing over the current situation all night tonight.

Purusing the internet for available properties in Oxford.

(Sidenote-- Oxford really needs to do a better job of making their rental properties in town more readily searchable online).

But I just can't make myself agree to commit to another 12 month lease in Oxford. Ideally, month-to-month is what I'm looking for, but seriously, who am I kidding?

The next best option would be a lease expiring in December. It isn't my favorite option, but it would be better than nothing.

Then comes the issue of roommates.

One? Two?

Students? Non-students?

Is anyone else in this town crazy enough to wait as late as I have to figure out their living arrangements??

I have a great friend who has offered me a very reasonably priced room on a month to month basis. Ideal, right?

Only issue...pets.

Don't get me wrong, I love animals, but sharing a house with 4 people and 4 cats may not work best for me because I am pretty sure I have allergies.

To cats, not people.

Well, most people.

This post is probably not legitimately benefiting anyone's reading list, but I needed to vent.

It's 4 am.

I've been worrying about this all night.

All normal people are asleep.

Including my sister and all of the real estate agents I would like to be contacting.

Less than 2 weeks to figure this out.

I may have to start getting allergy shots, but at least I won't be homeless.
