Alright, I've been terribly confused on the dwelling place front. This looks like it will continue, but at least a bit less angsty than it was before. I've redone the math, taking into account my cash flow situation, and things don't look great on the Milwaukee front. If this were all, I might come up with a way to make it happen, but Champaign is much improved from before (at least at the moment). My great cynicism expects that this may not last, but I'll try not to be too negative.
As we now have seven folks in the duplex, what shall occur is this: myself and three other people are going to live on this half, and three people are going to rent the other. There will be some roommate musical chairs to allow for couples to be more together, and if I need to flip out and run to Wisconsin, I can do so without worry that I'm going to beggar any of my housemates. And perhaps the place I write for will get the setup that will allow me to charge more for articles together, so I will be able to put together enough cash to survive in Milwaukee.
At the moment, it has been decided that remaining in Champaign with a travel budget, while not ideal, trumps being in Milwaukee with money worries and no travel budget. This may change.
In other news, I now have a 3/4 completed loft bed in my room, and my sheets are full of sawdust.
