Roommate Not Wanted

Tuesday, my little sister, who is also my roommate, placed her first ever bid on a home. She's looking at some nice condos right over by Sloan's Lake but on the other side of Sheridan. They are nice places, and I really hope she gets the one she wants (2 bedroom, 2 bath, garage, nice kitchen,hot tub). Yesterday, the seller came back with a counter-offer, and when I went to bed last night, my sister was still trying to figure out what her counter to that would be. She feels like she is teetering on the very upper edge of what she can afford. If they accept her counter-counter today, she is hoping to be moved into her new place by the end of the month.

With the exception of the few months between when the Hyena moved out and my sister moved in, I have never lived alone. Those couple of months were pretty nice, and now that I have done all of the renovations to my place, I am really looking forward to having it to myself. I'll have to do some rearranging and some cleaning and lots of organinzing, but I'll be pretty psyched to have a place to myself. It's not that I don't get along with my sister, because I do, marvelously. It's just that at my age, I should have my own place if I'm not going to have a wife or a girlfriend or kids or something.

I have this fantasy that goes a little like this: sister moves out; I take a month to get the house good and clean and to throwout lots and lots of clutter; I walk to work downtown; I stop at the bars everynight after work; I start having sex again working the line that I need a ride home and that I have booze and entertainment at my clean residence which, of course, I always do.

It's just a fantasy. Probably, my sister wil move out and the rest will unravel.

Update: She got it! Only thing left is for the inspection to go well on Tuesday.
