Our landlord called today and told us we need to move out.  His reason?  He is having trouble finding people to rent the vacant room because there are three Pit Bulls that live here.  Nice.  I will save the Pit Bull discrimination sob story for another post, but basically this breaking news means we have about 45 days to further liquidate our belongings, figure out a plan of action for San Francisco, and actually find a place to live that is within our meager price range that accepts ‘vicious’ dogs.

This is all so new I really do not even know what to say from here.  I guess I just need to really focus on the short term and making sure we can get rid of as much excess as possible and make arrangements to have some other stuff (junk we just can not bear to part with) placed in a storage unit somewhere.  Our friend Carob Chips has offered his home to us for awhile until we can save up some funds to move north, and it is a much appreciated offer we may take him up on.  Butterfinger and him have been working together for the past week, and there has been a really good energy in the house with us all working at the same time; this might be our best option at the present time, but other options have yet to be determined/weighed.

Moving in here has always seemed to easy and perfect from the start, and I should have anticipated something like this would happen.  I mean, think about it.  We lose the house, our ex-roommate is living in a place right on the water, close to everything, with cheap rent that is dog friendly - it was just too good to be true.  So now comes the real test.  Time to mobilize and put everything we have been working so hard for on the line, and really step it up to make it possible to make it on our own.  Keep tuning in to see what happens!

In other news, on a walk last evening with Butterfinger and Carob Chips I finally realized what career is perfect for me - a librarian; maybe I will look for librarian jobs when I get up to Frisco:)
