Social Cues and other things...

 So yes I missed or rather bypassed a few social cues with this 11a interview that wasn't meant to be. For someone who responds at 9p at night within 5 minutes... wouldn't take over a day to respond to confirm an appointment.

And I followed up in case my email went to spam (ie, she lost my hut number). It sucks cuz I prepped a bunch and listened to my colleague and broke a bunch of rules. Oh well, luckily no on is keeping score. 

It's a nice cool day.

I ordered my cable so and even double checked with the rental furniture company for a delivery date. Nope, so my move has been moved by about 3 days because they don't delivery on Fridays. So I will plan to move in that Monday. That's the easiest thing I can think of to do.

Onwards!

Oh and I registered for an event in September and sent an email to inquire about camping in the woods. I'v been looking at state parks but don't have the tools to figure out what to do in the woods exactly. Plus the night in the cabin is like a hotel room. And um...no thanks! 

My $2200 Dirty Little Secret

 Yes, friends, I have a dirty little secret. I am renting furniture and after the 12 months,  I will have spent $2200. They put it right there hidden in the contract. Yowzers!

Talk about living the high life. I'm mostly paying for convenience. You order a package, they deliver, setup and pick it back up. I'm fine with that for now.

The plan was just to try out Newtown for 12 months and since I have no other plans and I'm so close to millionaire there's a high likelihood I'll probably just stay put. Except in 12 months, I won't have any furniture.

But I will have the flexibility to pick up and go, which is what I wanted. 

But yeah, considering I stayed in Death House aka Pandemic House for 3 years, there's a pretty good chance I'll stay in Newtown for another 3 years as well. Oh well.

I started off with 12 months, and I'll continue with 12 months. 

Right now I do dream of being able to fit everything in my car. But I guess ideal scenario is to find a furnished place. 

Toodles. 

Wed a.m. check-in

 Good morning, friends! I love the way it feels to get what I want. I just wish that feeling would last forever. I'm not sure why it fades so quickly.

I mean I love this apartment, and I'm glad I get to stay a little bit longer, but my brain is too busy playing SadFM Hits.

Anyway, in my fury of applications last night, I applied to a job I normally wouldn't - it was on Indeed and it had been posted for more than 20 days. But LAST NIGHT, the recruiter reached out and wants to chat on Thursday!

Talk about fast turnaround! I'm here for it! So now I'm on Cloud Nine!! Wheee!

I was trying to not bug Frenemy since she's soooooooo busy. But I wanted some tips on project management questions. Grrr. No response. 

So now I have to craft out a narrative from my web of lies. I guess I'll just use the old questions I had from my last round of interviews. That's all I can do.

But yes, the cycle begins... I feel awesome for being chosen...and when I don't get the job...THE WHOLE WORLD ENDS FOREVER.

Tuesday p.m. check-in

 I'm all over the place. It took me over 5 hours to get my list of tasks done. And that was just sitting at the computer. Can you imagine how long that would've taken before the internet!

Then I just spent at least an hour or two applying to jobs...for literally no reasons. To hide my shame, I didn't take any notes. Gosh! 

Not sure what's wrong with me!

My week cleared up so..you know idle hands.

I looked up some state parks but still not sure how to make myself go.

I did do alot today though!

I still have more to do and pay for.

I was ravenous all day and ate everything in the house. And finally at 6p went walking and got a pita sandwich. Should've just spent the $15 at the grocery store. Oh well, summer spends I guess. Still not going to get too worked up over this non-routine spending. My budget is good.

I'm actively trying not to cook these 2 weeks. Planning to get a Panda Express Party pack. Were it not for the heartburn still plaguing me, I would have easily gotten a Moe's Family pack yesterday to avoid this weird hunger. But honestly, if the hunger continues next week, I'm going to get the Moe's pack and be an American and just take heartburn meds. Grr, oh well. These are not typical times.

My debit card was aching today.

And I still have to pay the deposit on the power company's bill. So I still have that to do. And get rental furniture. I'm pretty sure I don't want to pay full price but not sure how to get the student discount.

Just a lot going on today.

I want to get some toast for what feels like a hole in my stomach. 

Oh, I was able to get an appointment on Talk Space. It was not the seamless experience I hoped for. It works a lot differently than Headway which was unfortunate. The lady I was matched with has Sunday appointments, so that was a big plus side. I hope she works out. But really, I hope my medication kicks in by then.

Why do I hate appointments so much. I need to get my hair done and even though I have a pretty light week, I wasn't willing to give up not one day to do it. I chose Sunday since that's a rough day anyway. But of course I had to make sure Monday was a light day, too.

I'm just waiting for my life to settle so I can have a proper check-in with myself. I don't think I can make not one more plan!! I'm all planned out...for now!

2 hours of errands

 Two hours of running errands for back-to-school, and I'm already tired!

I think I need a break.

That is all. More later!
