Hiatus: I'm Moving
Yesterday, Mom was acting pretty preoccupied. When I finally asked her what's up she says, "I decided not to renew our renters insurance; we have 15 days to move."
Me: O_o "O...kay?"
Today we checked out a place three blocks down from where we are now, and ended up signing the lease there. I'm a bit blown away by how fast everything is happening, but I think we needed the kick in the pants. We just can't keep paying what this place is asking for, they keep raising our rates and it's no longer do-able.
Thankfully, besides a much lower rent our new apartment is not too much of a change. Mom was talking about driving all the way to California to live, I just wanted to stay on the same street. We've got Borders, the grocers, and quite a few places to eat all within a mile and a half. With her limited disability and the fact that we're without a car, these things are really important. Plus I doubt many places have the same public transportation system for the disabled that Florida has.
Right now I'm trying to take one thing at time; if I think about it too hard I start wondering if we have enough time, whether I'll be able to move everything with out hiring help, whether I'll come to regret choosing the apartment I did, etc... Anyway I'm going to be busy for awhile, and this is a good time to change internet providers like I mentioned a few posts back, so I'll be on hiatus until I'm resettled.
