Around the Corner

The past couple of weeks have been pretty stressful for me. I absolutely hate the unknown. I like to plan… to figure things out… to know what’s around the corner. I thought I had been doing pretty well lately, however, in taking things as they come. I haven’t had to really know what my plans for tomorrow would be… until recently.

I have been trying to rent out my apartment in order to get out of my lease. I found another place that is less expensive and is much closer to B’s high school for next year. Unfortunately, I signed a lease that doesn’t end until October. So, rather than wait for six months, I thought I would try to rent it myself. I’m still not sure if that was such a good idea. I had several calls in the beginning which looked promising, but the last couple of weeks nothing. I decided it really wasn’t worth the hassle and yesterday told the owner I was taking down the ad. I also spoke to the manager of the new complex (who is graciously holding an apartment for me) told her she didn’t have to hold it anymore – I was giving up.

Last night, I got a phone call… someone wanted to come see the place. I decided to give it one more go and showed it to her today. I was shocked because she loved it. She took the application and said she would fax it in this afternoon to the owner. So, after days of thinking I was going to move, to accepting the fact that it wasn’t going to happen for awhile; I am now back to hoping that it will actually happen. I won’t know for a few days if she gets approved or not and, if she is, I have no idea when my moving day would be. Not stressful at all for someone who likes to plan!

So I thought I would come here and post a couple of photos that bring me a little peace.
