Well we went for the coop interview tonight and I was so hopeful. We had driven around the complex and were a little dissapointed with the exterior, but had high hopes for the rest.

Well, the interview went great... except that throughout, there was mention of a very large rat stuck in one of the ladies walls for 6 months before coop approved it to be removed, followed by several coop policies that made us a little nervous.. for example, if out toilet were to explode in the middle of the night, we would have to pay for the repair and then submit the receipt to the board for approval..... Well we wouldn't have the money to cover things like that, or we would just buy a home! The clincher was when they said that They have mould issues... Leaky condo, and they are fully aware of it being in the walls and through the units and it will be fixed, but they don't know when... SAY WHAT?!

It sucked cause they were actually really cute units... Really good use of their space... Actually, they weren't even going to show us one... You apply, interview, it goes to the board, they decide whether to approve you, and if you are in you need to pay them $2000.00 within 48 hours! For a unit you have never seen... We got along really well with the ladies interviewing us, and one of them offered to show us their unit, so at least we got that, but I would never lay out $2000 sight unseen.

I can't risk mold that will be fixed Who knows when with our health, and Trinities asthma... I am actually wonderinghow they get away with stil renting them out... It was not a small amount of mould either!

So at least we don't have to worry about coming up with that $2000.00 anyways... I guess it goes along with my whole theory of things working out the way they are meant to... The only thing I always wonder is why does the oppurtunity present itself in the first place... I guess it's one of those life questions.. Why do things happen the way they do?

If the Co-op wasn't meant to be, then why did I notice it to begin with? LOL.. Yes, very philosophical tonight.. but it's like that feeling that the rest of the world is imaginerary until you witness it and the strange reality that life goes on without you when you go. Unimagineable...

Ok, I'm done being weird. :o)

So We are waiting to hear back from another place... a 3 bedroom rancher off of clearbrook rd... Hopefully that one turns out better .. If not then we just stay here longer... We do not -need- to move, we are just really eager to back into town, and honestly, pretty sick of all the issues here too... We actually have some mould issues on our bathroom ceiling and I have seen the odd silverfish in there too. Not to mention how small it is... You really feel it in the winter.

I am still waiting for some progress with our logo... hoping that it makes some movement soon so I can get moving with publicity and such.

Our non profit status came back about three weeks ago as we had not included witness signatures, so we have redone the necessary paperwork, and sent it back to the lawyer, who will submit it and then we will be granted our status, as it is just pending that one completed document.

So motoring along...

Tomorrow is Chris's veterans affair review, so still crossing our fingers on that as it has remained our last hope of getting a bike before next year.

Friday is my vein appointment, and Sunday we are going to head to Science World for their special Halloween day! Very excited!
