Why did I do this again?

[carynb]

So I'm making a few calls, seeing if I can set up appointments to see apartments tomorrow. Somebody, please tell me why my stomach is one big knot? I can't get this stressed this early in the process, I can't. Why does calling people, just asking about availablity, stress me out so much? I am such a wimp.

I'm probably going to do the same thing I always do, and take the first place I see. The good thing is, the first appointment (or only actually - the other places I've called I either haven't heard back from, or I've gotten a curt "open house tomorrow" response) is for the upper level of an old Victorian house, and it sounds kinda cool. Laundry is shared between the 4 apartments in the house, but other than that, I think it might be okay. And it has a working fireplace!

Well, I guess I'll see how it goes.

Not unless it's nice, m'dear. This is why you're bringing me along.

If it's really bothering you to call people, pass the info along to me, and I'll make the calls. It bothers me not at all.

Hmm. That one sounds nice. Where is it?

Avenue Road, near Eglington. I little further west than I'd originally thought, but it sounds nice.

And it's not really the calling that's bothering me - it's just a symptom of the whole, I think. The whole uncertainty of not knowing where I'm going to live in 2 months is starting to freak me out, is all.

Well, I'm sorry that you're stressed. With any luck, maybe we can find a nice place tomorrow and then you'll be a bit more calm. (You probably won't be completely calm until you move, but knowing what the plan is should help a lot.)

Good luck!

Also, have you tried posting to or watching the Toronto community? I believe I've seen apartment listings a couple times when I've browsed by there.

Thanks! I just hope I find something before my nerves reduce me to a quivering mess. *g*
