> > Hi,
> ~~ Sounds like you made the right decision for you. It can be hard sharing a place with a friend. It can be even harder living with a friend who is opinionated, inflexible and not always the most understanding. It would have been nice to save some money, but sacrificing peace of mind is not worth a few extra bucks in your pocket. BTW, your cats have a very good mommy :-)
Thanks. I look at my little darlings and I don't feel guilty or worried that I'm going to be subjecting them to danger. If anything had happened to them, I would feel so awful.
> ~~ That is surprising how well she handled it! I know you had been worried about the consequences of not going through with the move. That is certainly a relief, and I am glad you are feeling much better. It is good that you didn't go through with it and find out a month from now that the arrangement was totally unbearable. We never know if it will work out or not until we try something, but sometimes we need to trust our instincts and the nagging little voice in our head that tells us something is a mistake. That was generous of you to offer her a place to stay when needed. I am glad that your decision did not affect your friendship.
Yeah, it was a shocker. I think she had time to think about things Saturday night and she realized that I was probably going to say no and that it was for the best for both of us. I'm really glad that it isn't going to ruin the friendship. It definitely would have had I moved in with her.
Now on to the next crisis - figuring out whatelse or where else I'm going to do to lower my rental expenses. Oh well, one thing at a time I guess.
Thanks again.
