Iโm Looking For Man Who Works Hard, Plays Harder - Wants To Have Some Fun!
Hello all you fun-seeking darlings! Halfway through my Sudbury summer and guess whatโฆ? BIG NEWS!! I have found myself a room to rent and so I will be staying for the foreseeable future. Renting here is a FRACTION of the cost of renting in Ottawa; considering that I have been able to sustain living out of AirBnbs for a minimum cost of $100/night, averaging about $140 - since mid-April I have easily spent at least $10,000!! Cutting my shelter cost to $500/month instead of $3000+ means that I will be able to save money and my goal is to save enough for a downpayment to BUY myself a condo in Ottawa. And yes, Ottawa is expensive and ridiculously so; regardless itโs home and itโs where my family and my 14 year old son are so I will be going back one dayโฆjust not one day soon!
I want to take a minute and thank all of you who have been there for me on my journey! I have had a few really tough weeks where I was legitimately facing the possibility of being out on the streets with no where to go and no idea where I was even getting my next meal! But some of you guys went out of your way to bring me pizza, Nestea and/or Skittles and for those occasions I am extremely grateful. You know who you are and to show my appreciation Iโd like to offer you $40 off your next rendezvous (four being my lucky number ๐). To those who didnโt know - Nestea and Skittles are my favourites and always a welcome treat ๐
SOOOOโฆ! Going forward I will be much less often available/able to do appointments same day, within 30 minutes because I will not be hosting from home and will be booking AirBnB/hotels for certain days (and will require some notice. First to make sure Iโm able to book somewhere to host from and also that it isnโt ridiculously overpriced. One good thing about booking ahead of time is that you guys can also request a certain area of town thatโs more convenient for you, and if Iโm able to I will make it happen! After several months of doing the Airbnb thing, through some trial and error - I have compiled a list of some favourites and some do not book agains lol so I am confident when I book somewhere what my stay will be like. I am also proud to note that my Airbnb guest profile boasts a perfect 5 star rating, every host from 47 stays would welcome me back. So, that is to say that I am a respectful, quiet guest and I respect others' spaces; leaving them as I found them.

So excited to start setting up my room! I am still in need of a few things:
A lamp
A tall dresser
Blackout curtains
Power bar
Hangers
Hooks for the back of my door, to hang coats
Area rug
Aromatherapy diffuser, with lavender essential oil
I Love Raspberry bubble bath
Bath towels
Face cloths
Pillows
Queen size sheets, blankets, duvets
Air purifier
Full length mirror
Canvases for my walls - would prefer to paint these myself with acrylic paint
I would absolutely love to have a mini fridge for my room but aware that that is a luxury not a necessity lol
Room cooler thing - there is one AC unit for the whole house, which doesn't quite cool everything but I have been told I cannot have a second unit because hydro would be too high. Thus, I have come across these little room cooler things that I think would work wonders.
A fan
