After searching 2 weeks, I almost had a break down after calling several apartments and none of them offering a 6 month lease, or if they did they didn't take dogs, or the ones that did do both were $300 over my budget. Right before I gave up, I called one more yesterday and they do a 7 month lease, they take dogs and are comfortably in my budget!
So now I am just waiting to find out if all of my info checks out w/ them and I should have a place live. In 7 days I will be back on my own. Not living w/ my parents, feeling like I'm a teenager again lol
The FT job I will be working is night time and I will be allowed to sleep for most of the time. So I'm going to start looking for a part-time day job. I will use the next 6 months to save as much money as possible. By the end of the year I hope to have a plan in place for what I want to do long term career-wise, and the money to go where ever I want, so it will be interesting to see where I end up.
I also signed up on the Meetup website and joined a few groups. One is for women in their 30's going through divorce and the others are for women in general who are new to the area I'm moving to. So I look forwards to attending some of the outings and making new friends in the new state I will be living in. (I also have some old co-workers there since H and I lived near where I am moving back to, so I do know a few people already)
Today has been a very emotional day concerning H (for some reason the last week as seemed to be the most tough I've had thus far, my mind & heart has been non-stop H), but I hope to turn the rest of the day around. Focus on the positives I have to look forward to.
