We’re on the move again. We found out this week that we need to be out of the vacation rental we’ve been staying in for the past two months by Monday. So far we do not know where we’re going next.

If anyone knows of any homes, apartments, rooms, or RVs for rent anywhere in Long Beach, Orange County, Riverside or San Bernardino County, please let me know! Monthly budget for rent is $1000-$1200 per month.

I still have not received a penny from EDD for pandemic unemployment benefits. My claim has been held up in processing since June. It was finally approved this month but the payments are still ‘pending’ and have been for over two weeks. I had hoped we could stay in this rental until my benefits came through, then get our van repaired (it’s been un-drivable since June), and then find a home that we can rent long term. But the owner needs this place for herself in November.

So I either need our long-term home to manifest right now or I need another temporary place to stay until we find it. This would just be for Richard and I. I’m envisioning a private apartment (with a bathroom!) for about $1000/mo in a quiet place where I can continue to work with clients over zoom and phone. I rented a car for the weekend and what stuff we have is packed so we are ready to go whenever we know where we’re going!

If you have any leads on rentals, please share. And if inspired, please help me hold the vision of an easy and comfortable transition into our next space.

And so it is. Thank you!
