Urm this thing on?
I miss LJ. I do. I find myself with fb being my home page...I know everything that is going on, looking at photos...can't play games I am on my iPad. So I go to my old faithful friend, lj.
Currently I am living in a hotel awaiting the closing of our new home. We have about 2 more weeks or so here. We are living literally onto of each other at times, all of us watching a movie on the bed. My daughter has taken over the "sitting room" with her pull out couch. The kitchenette has supplies of microwave or simple meals that I can make on the stovetop. We have been eating out way too much. The Texas sun has me fearing the outdoors along with the rapid cedar trees. We have a pool downstairs, a work out room but we still sit in our hotel room with the dog, like hermits. I have been to the pool a couple of times, but as I said the sun. Something about sun since we have been here, not use to it this time of the year. I also think depresstion took over the family. Stress of the move, our cat getting injured the morning we were flying to the states, then her passing 2 days later. We have cried, but I really believe her death triggered our loss of Scottie and our other cat.
Buying a house, well that has been an adventure. We are first time home buyers, so let's just say we are learning a lot. We are happy that the owner accepted our offer lower than asking price and we just hot the appraisal yesterday and the house is worth more than we are paying. We are waiting for the owner to move, hence why the closing is taking longer. We are having to pay out of our pocket for the hotel for part of our stay. Hubby's company paid 2 weeks only.
This move is taking a toll on money. Eating out, boredom shopping, hotel, rental car and so on. As of this week hubby did not get a dime in pay since we lost cost of living allowance for living overseas. Thankfully we have 401k to help out with the expenses, but that money is also allotted for the house buying.
I am trying to make connections here as far as make up artistry work. I don't have the skills as a hair dresser, so might have some issues in that department. But who knows. I will touch on that topic later.
I am going to have to find work somehow. Money is going to be tight, sadly buying a house is cheaper than renting. I also owe back child support, from the time I was not employed and disabled. So need to work on that debt.
Sad thing was I never have gotten money for my unemployment or disability, which would have help my debt. But that is so another story.
Once we get our cars, I think it will be easier...I can seek employment, make doctor appointments and work on going all out.
I have full faith this is just another test. Oddly I found out my bio mum has skin cancer, the bad kind..she has surgery on the 20th...odd thing..it did not freak me out. I was ok..she has cancer..oh ok. It was like all the stress is just internal. I mean come on we are in a little space and stress has been lashed like hell has no fury between daughter and I. More daughter than myself..angry girl she is. Hormones I keep telling myself. But nonetheless life...it is not so scary, but the waiting sucks.
More later...
