It is official

I did something scary.  I gave my notice to my landlord.  It was exhilarating and scary wrapped up into one.  Telling him wasn't that hard as I took the easy way out and text him.  Yep, I am weird like that, but we often communicate via text, so it really wasn't that weird.  I didn't figure he'd love the idea of me moving since I've only been here six months, but he is the one that offered a lease with the option to get out at any time with a 30 day notice.   He said he was sorry to see me and my daughter go, as we were great tenants.  :)

It was exhilarating because it means this is really happening.  The sellers signed the addendum to agree to all repairs required from the home inspection and everything seems good to go. 

It was scary because now, if something happens we are homeless :(

Well, not really. I am sure someone will take us in.  But this isn't a good feeling.  It was a good feeling not paying my rent today as my lease terms were deposit plus "last month rent" so I didn't have to pay it today.  Good thing, as scraping that money up with be harder right now than usual.  I am not sure why.  Oh yeah, I bought a new car a couple weeks ago.  Scared myself for a moment, wondering why my mental accounting made rent difficult this month.  Yep, now I am just writing (instead of thinking) out loud.

So...onto the challenge.  Yesterday I didn't get too much done, though in my defense (yes, I seem to have to defend myself a lot) I did work all afternoon and evening so I only had the morning.  I did get a couple large boxes of stuff from my bedroom packed and a couple small boxes.  Not much, but it did work towards my goal.

I didn't want to buy too many groceries before moving, but I did break down and buy a few items today but they should all be gone and not have to be moved.  From now on, besides milk or bread, I am not buying anything so we can use up what we have. Maybe some creative dinners are in order. 

I am determined to get some more packing done today so I best get to it.  I have half hour to spare before picking up my daughter and running a few errands and then back home to do some more packing. 

Umm, so I wrote this yesterday and apparently never posted.  Too busy organizing I guess :)
