Hit with a hammer

Roommate wakes me up upset I turned downed the thermostat (it was 80 degrees in here and I'm sweating). When I do that it is cold in the basement where he spends most of his time. I had about 2 hours of sleep so I just grunted. After a couple more hours of sleep, I got up to start looking for dehumidifers that could improve the temperature in the basement. Well found some but they were to expensive or too small to be effective. I came home with groceries from the store sale and roommate wants to talk to me. I apologize about not getting a dehumidifier for him like I messaged him that I would do today and explained I got groceries for us. He said not to worry about that.

He was offered a job by car buddy's mom and invited to live in a room in her home. But she lives 2 hours away. Won't tell me what city, but still in the state so not violating his probation. He is taking his clothes, backpack, cat, and few belongings, but will leave some things here he will come back and visit to get. The mom does handyman work as a self employed person and buddy's brother lives with her too. Ok. He can't get a job here, can't make money here, and he is frustrated. He didn't say when exactly he is leaving. I wished him well and said I would miss him. I hope it works out for him. For a year I have expected this day to come and I am half sad and half relieved. When he was gone to Tennessee with his friend it felt weird the first couple days not to have him here, but I got over it and enjoyed watching the cats come out, plus having the house to myself. I got accustomed to him being here for so long, I will be fine and get accustomed back to being alone with 2 cats again. It was the plan when he moved in that he was expected to leave eventually. Soon he will.
