my apartment is "done"
They've finished remediating my apartment. A small part of me still feels like it's a toxic environment, though, with lingering dust on the walls and in other nooks and crannies. If I open these bags up, will a pouf of cement dust come flying out? What if the vents have trapped dust in there somehow? It's hard for me to trust that this place is safe again.
I got rid of: alllll my clothes (at their suggestion), my mattress (I need a new one anyway), and my couch. I'm so conflicted about whether I should buy new things and stay there, or start over somewhere else.
It's not just the dust. There's lingering sadness with Muskoka being gone, the floor in the living room is crooked (so much so that it's very noticeable and I don't know how I didn't see this when I moved in), the landlord is a horrible twat, and most importantly, the bug issue. So yeah.
Finding a place in Toronto is f hell. My budget being no more than 2100 excludes me from most new buildings. And everywhere I try and look, there's new condo construction happening on every block. Frustrating.
Anyway, I'm off to see three apartments today. Mostly in the same area, only a little more uptown. Wish me good juju ;)
