Ok, so I have a plan and I'm feeling better about it. It's still going to be a bit of a stretch but should work out. I went and put the deposit down on the apartment in Ven*tura today. It wasn't the really cute house but I think it will be a better option. The rent is less, the deposit is way less and I like it. I can have Sadie and the girlies there, no problem. Also the really big positive point is that they are willing to wait for me. I hate having to pay rent on 2 apartments while you are trying to move and usually end up having to do it one way or another. Not this time. My contract that I'm in now for work is up on May 17th. I am going to work the first 3 days of that week and then have the last 4 days off. I will leave probably on Thursday to drive home. I hate the idea of the drive but it will have to do. I will be moving my meager belongings here into a storage unit or something for a couple of weeks as I will be moving out of this apartment at that time. I then have close to 3 weeks off work to go home and pack up all of my stuff and get it into storage. Then I have to be back here for work by June 4th. I will come back and move into my new apartment. I haven't decided for sure but I am thinking I will likely bring some stuff back with me such as some of my craft stuff etc. I may have to rent a trailer to do that as I won't have a lot of extra room in my car with a dog and two cats. I think that the not having to pay rent on anything for the 3 weeks or so that I'm gone will be helpful with expenses. It will probably be a bit hectic for a while but still, it should work out ok. I have a friend at home collecting boxes for me so I should be able to go home and just start packing. I may also try to pick up some over time in the next few weeks. So, I'm feeling better about all this. Except my RE appointment on Friday. I'm still a bit nervous about it but more than that I'm worried about the money aspect. I can't afford to cycle this month. I just can't, not with moving, having to come up with new deposits and having to take 2 weeks off work unpaid. So I'm wondering if I should just cancel my appointment for Friday and reschedule for June when I can afford to cycle and or to actually do any testing he may want done. Can't afford that right now either. It would be an additional 300 dollars I'm not spending yet. And as much as I want to get started if I can't actually do anything it makes more sense to wait I think until the money is more readily available. Input anyone??
I finally got the work thing this morning signed off. I had the OB I saw last month sign it and she was fine with doing so. I was really annoyed with work for waiting until now to let me know I needed that. I said something in the e-mail about how in the future maybe they could give me more notice so that it doesn't become my emergency. Anyways, work is happy now for a few more months.

You are such a sweetheart, thanks for checking in on me. I'm glad you got the apartment thing worked out and that they take your furchildren as well. That would be an absolute must for me. As far as the RE appoint goes...wow that's a toughie. Me personally, finances stress me out. So if I needed to wait to do some testing that's probably what I would do until I had the money available just because I'm a weeny and making sure I have enough money for things stresses me out. I always end up waiting until I'm sure I have it available. Good luck...moving...what a bitch!
Sounds like a good, well-thought-out plan! I'd agree with a postponement of the appointment until the funds and timing are better.
nice plan sounds like things are good.
You're always thinking and you've got a great plan in place. I hope things all work out!!
Great news about a plan coming together. Super excited for you. A++ on not having to pay 2 rents for awhile during the transition...that is a nightmare, I don't know how you did it. Way to go, girlie...Hopefully it goes smoothly.
That sounds perfectly thought out, from A to B.
So glad you got the living situation(s) worked out. Can't wait to hear what the RE has to say! =D
So glad you've figured out the living situation and the pet situation! It sounds like things are working out-
I would see the RE anyway, because this way you are all "lined up" for whenever you are ready to start!
Yes, you have a plan and it sounds good. I would probably wait to see the RE until you are ready to cycle...but that's just me.
Have a great weekend, hope you get to go for a walk on the beach. Wish I was there to walk with you.
I think it is soooooooooo great that you get to bring your furbabies! That will be awesome.
I would probably wait to see the RE since you have so much going on right now. Just my 2 cents!
