Just when I thought everything was OK, D came back and threw the bomb: who is going to move out?
It turned out both of us were reluctant to move...even if that means doubling the current rent.
I cried. He went for a walk. Returned and cried.
The worst part for me was that I couldn't not even comfort him with a hug while he was shaking...Too bad.
I was also feeling guilty, for being "selfish" and wanted to stay, until dear N pointed out to me (on line) that both of our names are on the lease! We are still equally entitled!
With that knowledge, I was able to fall asleep at 2:30 a.m. , only to wake up 3 hours later, and couldn't go back to sleep. After an hours effort in vain, I got up, got ready for the morning class. On my way out, my nose started bleeding, again.
So I missed the class, started looking for a new place online. Findings so far? September is NOT a good time for apartment hunting! I will keep looking, but also prepared to fight for the right to stay if necessary.
The 12+ hours in lab did serve as a great distraction -- I would have stayed for longer had it not been a severe headache due to the lack of sleep. And a big thank you to all the friends who offered a place to crash or to just simply gave me a word of encouragement. And guess what? Today is MOUNTAIN DAY! So there's no reason for despair, really.
Overall, I got home safe, blessed with caring friends, and with a golden carp to experimental with in the kitchen. (Yep, grocery shopping could also help with pain relief, as it turned out.)
May I remain strong and tomorrow be OK...

A little patience and everything will turn out nice!
