75 Days and counting

 So my online countdown saved my information, so that's great. It's now a bookmarked link on my iPad.

75 days until Newtown!

I was browsing their website and saw they had a state fair. I totally forgot about the state fair! So now, I'm excited! That's one more thing I can add to the list of things I can do! 

And they  featured some restaurants. Ideally, I can add them to my list of places to try. If I remember.

Some reflections from today.

- I clogged the toilet. Gross.

Too much bread. So now I'm a bit cautious about eating too much bread.

I still have an urge to binge eat something and watch a TV show. It's early evening so maybe a mindless sitcom.

I watched 2 old people shows today and it was definitely the way to go vs true crime/ reality dating. I feel nothing after watching them. Just simple amusement.

I like Jerry and Marge because it reminded me of what I thought I could do as a child brainiac. But that never materialized. 

Therapy was good today. No tears. I'm really glad I'm getting rid of that Old Man. 

Still nervous about when that Internet Lady is going to come by and get this stuff but I'm just mentally preparing to pay the $600 to get this crap out of here. Plus about $200 to $300 for a cleaning because I have no desire to do it myself. Money solves problems. 

I will probably get early pay tomorrow and hopefully it will help my eligibility with a credit builder account. This is literally the time when I have so many high spend items coming up that I could use some credit card bonuses and bupkiss. That's annoying. 

My new manager already sent out invites for our every other week 1 on 1s. 

He sent one in June and the next one starts a series that begins in August. So it looks like July will be a slow month, at least on that front. 

But the June one is around my closing date. And the one in August is around my projected move-in date. So that will be fun to finesse. 

I'm so ready to start booking stuff, namely my travel in August. My vacation time in December. Ok, I guess that's it. 

I'm soooo curious what my 1st half of the year spend will be after this is all over.

I spent some time looking at the real estate market in my area to see if there was anything I missed. This was spurred by the fact that one of the houses across the street had some cleaners come and I didn't think anyone had even moved in. So I was curious if it was a rental or owner-occupied. It shows as purchased in March and it's not on the market for rent, so we shall see. 

But Zillow was zestimating that property at like $200k so that shocked me and that led to some clicks. But I feel pretty good at the offer I accepted if it turns out to be as low stress as I hope. 

Then another blog post I read reminded me that mortgage rates are really high right now, so that helped bump up my confidence too. 

I'm just rambling because I have nothing else to do for 4 hours before bedtime. 

My therapist encouraged me to assert myself (and set some boundaries) with the Internet Lady to come get this stuff. So I'm not looking forward to that tomorrow. I might even leave it till Wed because tomorrow might be an easy day for me.

Try as I might, everytime I try to read an ebook,  I get distracted.

A part of me is looking forward to getting more packing done, but I love a free day, so we shall see. I'd like to be completely packed and ready to go by Jun 11, and just live out of a suitcase for a week, chilling. 

If this week turns out to be a dud, I'll probably have a fire lit under me when the inspection report comes back in another week or so. So, I'm not too too worried. 

I relooked at my numbers and if I want to stay under $1500/mon all in, I will will have to look for a base rental price in the $1150-1200 range to still be able to rent furniture. Which I still want to do!

Ok, that's enough rambling. I want to eat some apples and binge watch something.

Oh! I forgot the early breakthrough! I realized trying to invite Last Boy to Newtown to be my emotional support animal...while cute in my head....is a direct play from my Self-Destructive Playbook! It's gas-station sushi. So, I'm not doing it. I'm so glad I saw it this time. My gosh! The disguises Trouble wears!
