A new, temporary home

I’m on the move again.  I’ve started looking for a place in Portland, but it’s been really difficult.  My round-trip commute to and from work is about 2 1/2-3 hours.  Making for 11+ hour days even without looking for a place to live.  Forunately, something quite unexpected happened the past few days.  I recently reconnected with someone who I took Spanish lessons with in Mexico last year.  Turns out that her and her fiance recently relocated to Portland.  They have an extra bedroom in their place.  They’re letting me move in with them and pay them week-by-week till I find something permanent (which hopefully won’t take more than a week or two).  Fortunately, it’s only about a 25 minute bus ride from their place to work.  Which will leave me a lot more free time to find a place.
