Situation critical
So, enter friend S. Friend S has been someone I lived with for four months last summer during my camp-stint.

Friend S's roommate is moving out in a week and it turns out that the landlords are going to continue to rent and want to know if she has anyone to move in with her.

!!!

This all seemed like a great idea last night, but now...

Pros:
-Away from the crazy mother. Love her, but can't deal with her insanity.
-Going to have to leave eventually, might as well move in with someone I know I can stand.
-GREAT location -- across the tracks on Whyte ave., for you Edmontonians/Former Edmontonians.
-Brand new appliances, hardwood floors, secure building (it has freakin' key passes for the elevator), also has a gym (and possibly an indoor pool)?
-Only 600/month (we think, she has to double-check to see if it's the same as this year) including utilities.

Cons:
-Away from the mother = away from the cat.
-MIGHT be able to convince them that I can bring the cat, but that brings in the expense of the cat (food, insulin, needles, cat litter).
-AWAY FROM THE CAT. I know this is being made out to be a huge problem, but the fact is that my cat is the only thing that's been constant in my life for TWELVE years. I don't know if I can stand only seeing her a few times a month ... and she's totally acting like she knows I'm thinking about leaving, she's been glued to my side since last night. Literally, she goes upstairs to eat and then just cuddles against me for the rest of the time. SAD.
-Also means I will probably have to work part-time during the school year (but I'm going to have minimal/no classes on T/R next year and only 4 classes each semester, so that might be doable). I also have a sizable amount in savings and will be working this summer.


I feel like I might be using the cat as a reason not to move out...but at the same time I don't know. BLAH.
And so I ask you, LJ-ers/Scribbld-ers ... opinions?
