Home, aaahhh, it felt great! I'm throwin' down the cash, daggummit! Along with the application fee of $20, I'm attaching a check for 1/2 month's rent and the $300 deposit. The place is adorable. The folks upstairs travel all the time; they own a Winnebago & a construction company (can you hear him begging for scrap wood? I can see the projects already!); the pond is comforting; the hot tub huge; the patio ready; the flowers blooming; the fire pit calling! You gotta check out the pictures, in the "from the kitchen" shot, on the left wall there really is an electric fireplace thingamabobber from the 70's!! It's even burnt orangish! There's a perfect slab of cement for boarding and scooters, a park not far by bike (is anything really far by bike?), Hy-Vee down the street (Hey Mel, can I borrow the Burley for groceries?)... and we can live with it. We can live with $600 rent plus cell phone and allowance (games, etc) and still eat. Seriously time to give up cigarettes. Good thing I bought a $20 cappuccino machine as a housewarming gift for myself & I've got coffee connections~ I can trade one stimulant for another! I think I can find a way to keep myself in organic 1/2 & 1/2 :)
And I can jump into what kind of work do I want to do? I'm thinking funeral homes need me... there's a big one down the block, I may have to drop in and just sell myself. I really want to do the holiday memorial service this December. Baking? Worth checking out. Breadsmith needs me :) Karen recommended volunteering at the co-op to get the discount on food, 'specially now that I'm cooking! (Lasagna AND Potato Salad yesterday!)
What awaits me? I'm a-tingle with anticipation! Arms thrown wide open in welcome to the newest chapter...
Gemini: Nothing is quite as impossible as it seems, for you may feel a bit more pessimistic than usual. The emotions that are holding you back, however, can also contain the seeds for your forward movement. Don't accept defeat under any circumstances, even if your confidence is weak. Remember, today's actions set the stage for next week's transformations.
~~I attached a note to my rental application: (to soothe my pessimist ::g::)
My credit score and paper history do not give an accurate picture of the family applying for this apartment.
6 years ago, my young husband died of a brain tumor. I was widowed with two children, then ages 2 & 4 years old. I left the work force to focus on my family and our healing. I have been able to continue our commitment to homeschooling and creating a joyful family life for all of us. In February 2006, my daughter, Hannah, then 9.5, died of leukemia.
The past 400some days have been new and strange for me and my son, Hayden, now 8.5. We are seeking a new beginning for our new family situation. I feel this space can provide just that for us.
Thank you for your consideration!
