Last Post From This House?
This very well could be my last post at my current residence. In the house I moved to after my ex and I separated. The house I learned how to be a single parent to twin boys. The house I lived in when my divorce was finalized.
I also got a better job from this house. I applied to many, as recorded on this blog. I actually spent a lot of my free time searching and applying to jobs. I mentioned I was offered and accepted a new one. And that was good. But then after I accepted, I got called in for another interview. There were a lot of things I liked about this job, so I decided to at least go to the interview. A week later, they offered me the positions, and I accepted.
This was good too. It just made things very complicated. Letting the prior new position know I was taking a different job elsewhere was the easy part. And they were very cool about the hole thing. The really hard part of going through the process again on finding a new home and day care for my boys. I also and working very hard to sublet the place I signed a lease for the prior position I accepted and then rejected. Trying to find a sub-leaser sucks, and is time consuming. And pretty scary. If I can't find someone I'm screwed. But I have been pep-talking myself that this will happen. I keep finding people to show the townhouse too. Hoping one will come together soon! Some promising ones in the next couple days. People with bad credit are killing me (like really bad credit), or I would have found someone already.
Finding a new day care was also one of the easier things to do. I was really worried about that too. But I got that taken care of quickly.
And the really big news: instead of renting, I bought a home. Yes, that is right, I bought a very modest home. It just sort of came together. I was not initially looking to do so right away. But an opportunity fell into my lap. However, it's about as good as any rental home I would find, and I won't be throwing away money on rent. And I have hopes of leasing out the property in a year or so and buying a better home.
I have come a long way this year financially.
But the process was also very time consuming. I have been crazy-busy all the time for more than a month.
I will move into my new home Sunday. And I still have tons of packing to do. Wasting time writing a blog is probably not the best way to spend my time right now. I am actually moving in before I close on the house. That is basically how I was even able to pull this off.
And then, I start my new job Monday.
Holy shit.
If I think about it all at once, it is too much. I just take it step by step systematically. But is is also a juggling act.
Back to it now. Project speed pack. I can do this!
