Bonus Payout and other news

 Yass! It's the fifteenth! Usually my main Bank gets the deposit early, but I guess for Bonus Payouts, it's an irregular payment, so I just got it today.

It still tastes good! Can you imagine people who make this amount monthly. 

I have already made so many plans with this money, I'm excited. I counted all the chickens!

I can do that now that I don't believe in jinxes and signs (ie, confirmation bias). 

Oh, update - I was stuck between being excited for Tulsa remote and trying not to be let down. But yesterday, it officially became a hard thing.

So remember I made a mock-up budget for the move - just cuz. So that was a checkmark. Everything was good.

And I had done a cursory search on Landing to see if they had units there. Check. Well, I looked again, just to see which unit I would pick. Um, if I remember correctly, there were only 2 units in the Tulsa city limits. Oh no! And they were cruddy. If I'm going to live in crappy housing....errrr... I can stay right here.

That was part of the fantasy - living in a cool city girl apartment...that I didn't have to decorate and could just pack up my 2 suitcases at the end of the year and move on. Womp, womp. 

So now moving to Tulsa is hard on both ends - my housing here and figuring out housing there. It has lost its appeal dramatically. Ugh.

That's really all the news. I have therapy later today, but I'm going to spend the morning tinkering with my finances.

I am binge-reading the archives of a young blogger. She moved alot! I don't know how people do it. Just the thought makes me not want to move. It makes me dream of the days of being able to fit everything in my car. That way I could just mosey on out of here at the end of x time. Oh, well. 

I still need to finesse contact with external committee members. Birthday was a bit of a hit, but left me wanting more. And talking to Frenemy kind of upset the balance. I don't know how to manage that. It's just so unpredictable. I don't like it. It's distressing.
