Ok, ok, so some decisions are being made in my freaky stressed out life right now...
I picked a place to move. I am gonna go ahead and move into a one bedroom at the property I'm working at. Its the most affordable (by far) and the most convenient for the time being, as far as cutting commute time and saving money in gas, rent, and taxes. It is month to month, so if it ends up being awful, I don't have to commit to staying for a year, so I decided to just go for it. The pain in the ass factor is that I have to be out of my place on the 30th of April, and my new place won't be ready until the 4th...so that blows. I'll be moving my stuff the last weekend of April into a garage on site and staying somewhere for a week, then moving the following weekend from garage to apartment. What a pain in the rear!
Probably the best news that has eliminated an extreme stressor is, my company has a donation program that employees contribute into that is available for employees in financial stress. After learning my surgery was going to cost me about $3,000 out of pocket, I applied for the assistance - after all, I contribute to it, and it was definitely a financial crisis. I was SO ecstatic when last week I was notified that they would be providing me with the full $3,000!! It was deposited into my checking account this weekend and I am collecting all my bills so I can call and make a lump payment tomorrow. So excited about that!
Other than that, I spent a recent Sunday afternoon driving along the Oregon coast by myself and spent yesterday afternoon playing and eating ice cream with Blake, and both of those things gave me some "calm the fuck down" perspective. And on top of that, I finally got off my ass and found a new therapist (mine moved to Tacoma) and have an appointment on the 15th. She works for the same counseling office as Lacey, but her clinic is in Camas, so its close by and convenient. Hopefully I like her as much as I like Lacey - Lacey did originally refer me to her because of location, so I'm sure it'll be just fine. :)
I thought they were moving on the 22nd. Did something happen?
ReplyDeletei tried to comment from my phone and it didn't post. anyway yay new therapist! i hope she is great :) Also, I'm so glad that some of the little things are settling down. Good to know you have a place to live (even though the transition is clearly a pain in the rear) and yay for the surgery being paid for!
