lsdiamond...that I have about 10 minutes to use this library puter.
* We made it to Oklahoma. The drive was long, but I made it without totaling anything. ^_~
* We made it to our new apartment
* Said apartment was unliveable; the landlady had fulfilled none of her promises, and refused to come in when we invited her to see our complaints.
* We stayed at a hotel for two days while we looked for another place to live.
* I had an interview with a local newspaper.
* I opted to take newspaper position over the print shop position. Less pay, but much more secure job. Wonderful people!
* New bosses helped us find a house! A lady had come in to place a classified ad the day before, and since I would be working for them, they gave me the ad - it had not yet run in the paper. Much larger place than we had in AL, and for the same amount in rent.
* House needs some work, and we can't afford gas for hot water or the stove yet, but hopefully we can before winter, assuming we stay there that long. Hubby likes the place, but would like something better if it comes along.
* Did I mention the house is only 3 blocks from my new job, and about 15 miles from Hubby's new school? ^_^ Lots of exercise for LSD, and not much wear and tear on the truck!
* Have maintained my weight since we've been on the move. It's only been 10 days, but it feels like a month. May have gained 1 lb, but cheap scale and saggy floors make it a little hard to tell. Will start back on WW when we can afford food. (Living on $40 for the next 2 weeks while waiting on my first paycheck.)
* Brakes are nearly shot. Trying not to drive until we can afford to get them fixed. x_X Hubby has to make a trip to Ardmore today (about 60 miles round trip)
* Other minor issues abound, but overall we have been really blessed with this trip. The people are wonderful - fall all over themselves to help you when possible.
* Ah well...my last minute has arrived. Got to shut down for now and get back to the house. Love and hugs to everyone - I'll be back online in a couple weeks when we can afford internet service.
