Life Update: New Job and More Freedom with My Boyfriend

Sorry, I haven't posted a lot on here on the last few days my friends. Since my husband passed, our ex left, and me having to move in 90 days due to HUD rules. (Because I don't qualify for the 2 bedroom I am I. right now.) But we got good news! My little Chiweenie and I have found a place! It's a TINY 1 bedroom apartment that's only a 11 minute walk from my current place. I need to be honest there are A LOT of problems with my current place. So I am glad we are moving. 1. When you flush the toilet all drains smell like sewage in the bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom sinks back up constantly. 2. The room next to the bathroom always smells like mildew. 3. There is NO proper heating/air conditioning besides a window unit and tiny 1500 watt heater that do jack shit. The gas heater is unvented and the gas company flagged it as a safety hazard. 4. The back right burner on the gas stove doesn't work. 5. Several sockets don't work, upside down, have holes in the wall beside them, or just stuck outside the wall. 6. The house slants and the flooring is coming up. It's cheaply painted wood and the paint is coming up. 7. The door frames paneling is coming off, cabinets in the laundry room are being braced in place to the ceiling. 8. When we moved in it was filthy, things from the workers and previous tenants were still in the house. 9. The backyard gate doesn't latch and my dog if I don't tie the leash around the latch could get out. 10. No washing or drying machine they promise would be there. 11. A fucked up detached garage that isn't even useable. 12. A dead tree out front being eaten alive by mistletoe. 13. A gravel driveway that has tiny bits of glass and trash in it. 14. Broken doorbell and broken screen door. I like the new apartment (Even though it's TINY and upstairs.) 1. It has a bathtub/shower and not a tiny shower like where I am now! 2. It has a hall closet for storage! 3. It has central heat and air that is all straight electric! No gas and electric like where we are now! 4. The electric stove works and there is plenty of drawers and cabinets for my kitchen stuff in my kitchen! 5. They have a laundry mat I can use to do my laundry instead of going to my friend's house once a week.6. The plugs are all workable and flush to the wall. 7. New paint and carpet in the apartment. 8. Cabinets in the kitchen aren't fucked up. 9. The apartment is clean and nothing broken! 10. Has quiet neighbors and common area! I just need to call HUD Monday and schedule the the health and safety inspection. The apartment will EASILY pass! They'll tell me if they approve of it and I can move in on the 1st when I get paid!! My biggest worry is how much my rent will be. I pay that and the electric. I have bills like a storage room (Have a full house hold of things I can't lose.), a loan (Trying to pay off that my husband and I took out when we had a family crisis.),and my cell phone (need it because it's the only way to contact me. Plus with my medical issues it's a necessity when I am out alone.) that HUD doesn't count as apart of my regular bills. (Wish they would.)
