Linda.

Earlier this evening, I started writing out some goals for my homeless journey (which I will post separately later). This helped me organize my thoughts and make what I believe what is the right decision.

First of all, I’d like to address the fact that I never met Tre and Ali. Tre, who asked for a raincheck on our original meeting, was having trouble making himself available to come by the apartment to meet me. Since I am feeling the pressure of a timeline, renting the place before the end of the month, I have to let him go without meeting him. Ali, on the other hand, seems to have gone the way of Aaron and disappeared. He has no doubt found other housing. Such is life in the world of short-term rentals.

Since I had already mentally eliminated Giuseppe and Dana, I was left only with my two frontrunners. And as much as I like Jürgen and the idea of testing the waters of homeless living with a one-month contract, ultimately I can’t pass up the extra month’s rent that I’ll get from Linda.

I called her earlier tonight, but she didn’t pick up. I left her a voicemail message, asking for her to call me back. I hope to hear from her in the morning.

Meanwhile, I’ve started to prepare the apartment for the big day. I have five days to have it all ready to go…
