Yesterday I looked at two apartments and filled out a lease application for one of them. It’s really nice- 2 bedroom townhouse style, 2.5 baths, washer/dryer in the unit, living room, dining room, kitchen, patio, a small balcony off each bedroom, a carport with storage unit, and backs up to a woodsy area. Plus they were running a rent special through Saturday- they’re knocking a few bucks off the normal rate. Assuming I get approved, I should be moving in the first week of September, and they already called my office for an employment verification. This will be the first time that I’m really on my own- I’m excited, nervous, and the whole thing seems a bit unreal. It’s still sinking in for me.
Immediately after was my IC appointment. I told her about the new apartment, and we came up with a plan for telling H- when, where and how. I figure on telling him the weekend of 8/22 at his sister's house. That’ll give him two weeks notice, and I can hang out in S18’s room if need be for those two weeks, he’ll be gone by then. I have another appointment with her a few days before, so we can give it a dress rehearsal.
Also, I printed off my thread here and showed her what I had been thinking lately, and boy, was that really handy to have. I would have been hard-pressed to remember some of the details. I want everyone to know how impressed she was with your insights and observations. THANK YOU AGAIN! It has been so helpful to know I wasn’t alone and to have everyone’s support- it’s made a difference.
