Plan: Move to Boston is beginning! I...don't really have a good intro for how to ask for help other than to say it would really, really, really help the physical/emotional health of my partner and my cats if we could move from where we are. We could also use your help with one aspect of getting out of current living situation.
As my partner has an unconventional work history and we're moving from far away, we think it would be easier for us to get an apartment (to share) and also for her to get work if she did so from within Boston.
Ergo, our plan is for her to go to Boston ahead of time (preferably the month of August) and temp/apartment-hunt. My partner is hoping to rent a room or a couch or a something for that month for approximately $400 so we can sock more into savings.
If you are a Boston person interested in such an arrangement (for even part of the month), or know someone who is, we would much rather work out something with a dreamwidth or fandom-associated person than sorting through Craigslist. That's step two, but y'know, Craigslist *can* be sketchy and it takes awhile to sort the wheat from the chaff.
FWIW, my partner is the "neat one" in our relationship, and she promises to clean up her sleeping stuff if it's in a common area and stay out of the apartment during the day if you need private time. She really just needs a safe spot to sleep, stash her stuff, and use the shower during her month-long temp-and-apartment-hunt thing. She's also a really nommy cook, if home-cooking is appealing to you.
You can reach me through DM or lizcommotion (at) gmail etc.
Signal boosts also appreciated. (And yes, I'm flagging RFM.)
ETA: Everyone is awesome and partner has a place to stay for August!
