Hmmmm... place to live awhile? Maybe

Well, I met KC last night, a 35 y.o. lady with a house she doesn't use much -- just 5 or 6 days a month. Looking for a room mate to help defray her costs as she tries to live and work primarily 4 hours away from here.

Anyway, she's a bit "wired" for my taste -- not an untypical young person -- but a little wired. Very open and trusting, though. After we got to know one another, she offered that I could feel free to go take a look and see what I thought of the place. Said, it's not locked, because there's not really anything much to steal.

So, the first decision had to be on a comfort level with her personally and vice versa. Well, she's got some interesting mind-body philosophies that she's applying. Particularly an approach called Yamuna body rolling.... So, that might be interesting to tie into in some manner. I just have to be able to deal with her energeticness and enthusiasm.....

So, on the way to work I today I took a look. Interesting. A bit small, of course. Just the standard urban row house, with a cape cod attic (not really living space. Two small bedrooms, but a large LR and large kitchen / dining room area....

My hesitation is this, though.... she's not neat. Not tidy. Not terribly so, but more than a bit scattered and unorganized.... Of course, that fits the right brain-ness I picked up on in short order.

Well, Im not neat, tidy and organized either.... So I wonder about that as a combination.

I'm also feeling a little uncertain about how comfortable she really would be in sharing her home with someone like that, or an older guy like me....

But, she's been very open, very flexible. Offered me use of her bed -- master BR. Open to a very flexible arrangement..... just very loose and casual.

OTOH, looking about, I no longer think it's a possible crash place for M. Once I take this step, M will have to deal with her changes on her own and in her own way and time. Looking at this place, I don't see M being able to cope with it and be very happy about it.

But, as temporary living space for me... for weeks or maybe a couple months.... Huge possible yes to that..... Thinking, thinking.
