"Uh-oh" or "Oh, an opportunity!"?

Just found out my landlord will not be renewing my lease. I guess I should have seen this coming, since I told them I probably would not be staying, but I realized how inconvenient moving would be right now, and couldn't find a decent place I liked well enough to justify the trouble of moving, and during a phone conversation on Tuesday I was told that I could still sign the new lease, no problem, and they'd do all the repairs I keep asking them to do. And today I was told otherwise. So, I have less than a week to find a new place and move my ass into it.

I have an appointment to look at a place on Saturday afternoon, but if that doesn't pan out, I need to know where to look next. If you live in Chicago and know of a place that will accept 2 cats, is available May 1, and is around $650 per month or less, please, let me know! I found my current place on short notice, so I know this can turn out all right... but I'm still panicking a little bit!

It's 8 o'clock on Friday. I can't do anything about this tonight. Got my Knitpicks order today (finally!), and have two gifts to work on, plus my own project. Should I knit, or should I pack? Hhhmmmmm......
