(no subject)
soooo. things were just starting to look a little brighter. i managed to scrape together some money to have a small nice christmas, charles parents suprised us by being able to come up and visit after all, and my parents also decided they would drive all the way here for a visit shortly after christmas.
but then guess what happened.
we got an eviction notice!
We paid our rent late by a few days, as we have done several times before in the past 2 years and they said its in our lease that we cannot pay late more than one time. otherwise they will evict. so they did. we have one month to find a new home.
its insnanity. so basically christmas and my parents visit is now hugely overshadowed by the fact we dont know where we are going and we dont know how we will afford to move right now.
I have to explain to the girls we are moving, find a place that will let us bring our dog, and has a yard...yo know all that stuff. it blows. moving blows. i hate the management here they are so freaking nasty. ignore us for year and whatnot....and then this. we have been nothing but great tenants. friends with the neighbors, keep the place clean etc. so blah. people are cruel.
we may end up moving to indiana. thats where i am originally from. i grew up there and moved to boston when i was like 17ish. so boston feels more of home to me because its where i had my first home and stuff, and my parents moved away from indiana when i was a teen when hey divorced so... its home but not really home. sort of weirdish. childhood memories.
anyway, we considered moving there once before to save money and because i miss having winters. but we decided no. well back when we were thinking about it charles put in a request to transfer if a job opens up there in his line of work. that was a long time ago but just a week ago we got a letter saying one had opened up and they were considering him.
it seems sort of "fate" that it happened a week before the people gave us notice to move. also my sister has been talking to my mom and i about how she is lonely and depressed, she still lives in indiana but has no close family around. she is my younger sister and the girls love her...i think it might be part of what im supposed to do, to be there for her.
anyway so things arent so bad, just sort of abrupt and shocking. you roll with the punches or whatever they say. im glad for snow if we do move, and for family, and simplicty. If he doesnt get that job though, and fast, im not sure what the hell we are going to do.
hope everyone is having a merry holiday season.
