I'm now committed.

No, not in the nice men with white coats sense. I plunked down my deposit; room reserved.

Ended up being none of the six I talked about last week; there were three more I saw on Tuesday (sorry for not mentioning them earlier) and two of them were good enough to get involved with last week's #1 in a lengthy, three-way battle in my mind that involved a runaway water wheel. But in the end, the winner was a reasonably sized room in a house with all the basic features I needed, pool, close to a good-sized shopping center, nice neighborhood, no real disadvantages, and at least $50 a month cheaper than everything else I was even remotely considering.

The room becomes available on September 1, which is conveniently about when I needed it (lease here expires Sept 15). I'll take advantage of Labor Day weekend to get moved in and thoroughly settled, though hopefully I won't need all three days.
