Amazing changes the past 24 hrs!!
So my Mom gave me some perspective on the whole apt thing...I went to an apt viewing that showed me to stop using Google Maps since the GPS kept going out, I had to keep recentering & I would past the street I needed to turn on since the voice directions aren't as spot on as the driving ones..I will write directions down hehe! The apt is really cute, has a Brooklyn NY/NY Brownstone basement apts ( least I think those are the ones under the stairs w/steel security door)/Italian small for 3 bedroom...nice history as was built in 1929 and nice respect for Earth as the owner does recycling ( & if you don't want to take it to the dump, she will! But ya get paid at Mr K's but everything has to be sorted into 3-4 different bins, we'll see how my first trip goes should I get the place)..
It has a very nice kitchen area ( w/kitchen appliances all included), nice living room ( changing out chairs should I take residence), and hope she paints walls n cement floor but like that there is a bonus storage room that could fit a twin. The bathroom is very nice ( has a tub, Jamie said they will be over quite a lot as her place just has a shower ( my walk yesterday was 3.5 miles, that + yesterday's 4 mile walk total, yeah, I get clean but I need a soak!)
We spent almost 2 hrs looking around and outside where she showed me the outside washer/dryer set up, the cute yard area big enough for picnic table n my sister's kids could at least play tag and the raised garden bed/fruit trees that extend to the back/side of the house was also really nice.
Learned a lot about her and her about me. She even offered to give me a ride back as we were having trouble w/GM hehe, she was pointing out certain things, like oh, a cute store is over here, restaurant is just half a mile away, etc so I see that as a VERY GOOD SIGN as it is down to just me and ONE OTHER PERSON & I should hear something by Tues..
When I came home, 20 minutes later I got a call from Zippy's! They wanted a Zoom meeting for the ultility position! I had lil trouble w/it but got everything fixed in less than 2 minutes, did the interview and got OFFERED THE FULL TIME SPOT!!! Process might take a week to get everything situated but that just made my day! Esp after I Google Mapped the apt and found out not only does the North end of the street the apt is on go STRAIGHT there, it is only 1.4 miles away! This will my hesitation if I do get off at midnight/1 AM as Zippy's is looking to expand their weekend hours...I can get a tactical flashlight, pepper spray and maybe even a Tazer!
Only thing of hesitation w/apt is house right behind mine is a transitional ex con house, complete w/fence around the property but none are violent offenders and really are just trying to find places that will rent to them for cheaper since places aren't always hiring them...did the time but get judged til you die basically!
I had fun last night eating my Target bought tuna/rice bowl ( that haul got me 2 wks of food for $25!) as we watched Luca and I had thought I would have had a hard time eating the popcorn/arare crackers/M&Ms literally 2 mins after dinner, but surprisingly NO....:)
Woke up today to find out I won a great biometric security camera ( w/ year of free service) and need to respond to the online form by Sat. So hope yesterday warrants in an address change or at least the 2 places I hope to check out today result in something by Friday at the latest....
Get to see Courtney guys again ( the other night was really fun!) as we are doing Beach stuff after apt inquiry/BBQ during or after Beach, idk yet..
