From the Mind of Trevor Stone

Well crap.

We'd submitted applications and provided verbal agreement to rent a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom duplex in the Heritage area of Golden. Biking distance from work. Walking distance from a mountain. Garage space. Awesome property manager. But our friend who was going to rent with us decided it wouldn't work for her. I don't blame her -- she calculated 250 miles driving per week; I'm not sure why she was down with the idea of a place in Golden when she works in Parker. Tam was concerned with me paying the full rent while she's in school. It's not going to work for the two of us.

If you wants to live there with us for $400 or less a month, drop me a line real soon. If you have a place you'd like to rent in with reasonable reachability for Denver West, let me know. Our lease is up at the end of June, but I'll be in California for the last week of June so I'd like to move by the weekend of the 15th. We could probably extend our current lease by a month, though.

I'm feeling really annoyed because I put a bunch of energy into finding a place that I won't live in. I'll need to spend at least as much energy again finding a different place to live, and this may disrupt what I wanted to do this weekend.

I did have a reaction like this when I learned that my first Golden apartment is for rent again. I'm considering that as an option, though a few things make it less attractive.
