Minor Snag

Minor snag in the moving process. Turns out goodwill won't pick up my sleep sofa and the Salvation Army can't pick it up until it's too late to do me any good. So I got the bright idea to just give it away to anyone who'll take it. Put a couple of notices up on bulletin boards and emailed all my... Sign in to see full entry.

Almost a done deal

It's almost a done deal. I have an apartment and an address. Just waiting for my job verification and criminal background check, which may be done by now. Thanks to Mom's willingness to lend me the money for the security deposit, I can move a month earlier than planned. A bit of a rush, but it will... Sign in to see full entry.

Free Rent

This free rent for November thing certainly sounds good. I won't be able to come up with the security deposit in time, but Mom may lend me the money or cosign for me. It seems like kind of a rush, but it might be worth it to get the situation settled. I'm definitely going to miss working at Oakland... Sign in to see full entry.

Moving and Dancing

I had just about decide to move back to Harper's Forest, but this lady from Fenland Field blew me away. Nicer apartments for about the same rent plus all this cool stuff like letting the residents buy stock. I'm going to think about it for a day or two but I'm 90% sure that's where I'm moving to. I...

Moving, writing, and football.

I'm feeling relieved. Making a decision will do that for you. I've decided to move. For whatever reason, my landlady doesn't seem to feel comfortable with me living in her condo, and rather that struggle to try and work it out I've decided to move. Haven't talked to landlady yet, left a message on... Sign in to see full entry.

Meetings and Rejections

Today's the day I would have started back at Social Services if I hadn't chosen to wait two weeks and give Oakland Mills more notice. I would have been making twice as much money for these two weeks had I started today but I feel better about myself for doing it this way. It's good karma. I go to... Sign in to see full entry.

Relaxed and Looking Forward

I've been feeling more relaxed these last few days. Part of it I'm sure is the relief of knowing I'll be back at work soon. I think part of it to though, is meditation. I've been meditating more regularly lately and although my mind still wanders some, I do seem to be able to get into a relaxed... Sign in to see full entry.

Well it's settled. I'm going back to social services on October 27th. They wanted me back on the 13th but I wanted to give Oakland Mills more notice than that. I also wanted to try and figure out a way not to have to go back. Now though, I've kind of resigned myself to it. It will be nice to have... Sign in to see full entry.

Staying put

With two sales to Andrews and McMeel this week, I'm starting to think more seriously about combining the Oakland Mills job and writing and not going back to social services. I called to bug social services again Wednesday, haven't heard back from them. Maybe this is a message that I'm not supposed... Sign in to see full entry.

Stayed home from work

today. Two nights in a row I've awakened in the middle of the night and had trouble getting back to sleep. I'm exhausted. I did sell a card to Andrews and McMeel Monday so that's a cool $200 coming in. I'll take that and more. Also finally got my interview posted on greetingcardwriting.com. If y'all...
