on the move for a move
–and the lease will terminate
in August. I refuse to stay
planted here with soaring
rates, lack of upkeep, and
trusted neighbors leaving
left and right.
the upcoming future will
find me meeting with two
different apartment communities; one near
and one on the other
side of town.
I hate moving, yet August
will come around spinning
on its heels, waiting for me
to two-step my way into
its arms.
as long as I don’t lose
an arm and a leg searching for
our new home, I’m happy
to be on the move for
a move.
A Cornered Gurl 
It’s such a bad market for renters, right now, and apartment complexes seem to know that. I hope you find something that is amenable.

Good luck with finding your new haven. Places to live can be found, but it takes time to find your home. I hope you’ll get your home as quickly as possible.
