Oh look, I got up on time. Of course I did because I was super paranoid thanks to yesterday. Woke up 8 minutes before my alarms were set to go off. Let's do a two day to make sure everything is current. Today is Wednesday right? Therefore I owe you both Monday and Tuesday.
Monday - hmmm. Not much to discuss here. Taught all day while B worked all day. Kid and KBF lurked around a bit at night. The upside is they went and looked at another apartment on Monday and it sounded very promising. Promising enough that they filled out applications with the intent of dropping them off Tuesday. We went down to the hot tub Monday night as we were both in an achey sort of mood. That was fun. While we were down there we started talking about money and savings and future stuff. That led to a discussion of moving in September when our lease is up. Moving away moving this time. A place where I could keep my same salary but at the very least reduce our housing output by 40-50% a month. Just at high level numbers doing that would in one year eliminate 3-4 of my current debts. In one year. Granted it would be harder for B to find work that paid well, but it would be better for us overall. We are talking a 2-3 year move out of the area at a minimum. But this was just talk as we still have the kid and the lease to deal with here. We went to bed around 11 and well you know what happened yesterday morning...
Tuesday. Fuck me. I have never jumped out of bed as quickly as I did yesterday. So fast it scared B. I tripped over myself getting to the computer and starting goto meeting. I told everyone there was an internet issue and apologized for starting late. We started at 7:19 which honestly is about 10 minutes later than we would have started otherwise. And that was reflected in when we ended - we finished up at 3:06 instead of 3. Big deal. Of course I was stressed to the teeth for the first hour of class because I had all these emails from people wondering if something was wrong, if they had the right connection, etc. Things settled in and I got the day going. B headed off to work around 11:30 and I kept on training.
Around 1 I got the text I have been waiting for - the kid and KBF got the apartment they were looking at! It was like the voice of angels singing. They take the keys on the 15h, next Tuesday. Halle - fucking - lujah. That prompted me after class to start cleaning out some stuff to put things together for them. I plan on giving them glasses, plates, tupperware, silverware, etc. I don't want them sitting in the dark eating off boxes. There's a lamp ready, a toaster over, some pots and pans, etc. They will have it easy. When B got home I told her the news and she about fainted. Both of us are so excited. I saw the kid for about 15 minutes in between school and work but she was excited as well. She is scared and freaked but excited. They are signing a six month lease to see if they like it, if they can live together, and how her school goes.
After cleaning B and I went back down to the hot tub. We are still both a little sore. Mostly it's from Saturday's show. That was enjoyable. We came back upstairs and watched some TV before bed. Headed off to bed around 10. Had beanie weenies for dinner which she had never had. How do you like your whole life without having hot dogs in beans?? Whatever.
What the news of the kid DID do was reignite the moving discussion. We are thinking Oregon. Yes, I am serious. We started looking up places just outside Portland. We can have a place almost 300 sq ft bigger than what we have for $900 less a month. That in one year would pay off at least 4 bills clean. AND we would be in an area where things are cleaner, less taxes, and more room. This might actually happen. More to come as things develop.
Today is another normal training day followed by two early sessions Thursday and Friday. The weekend can't get here soon enough.
