Good News and Baby Steps

Before I went to bed last night, I checked the website for the apartment complexes that I am looking to get into. I wasn’t really expecting any good news, but I found that there’s another apartment available at the beginning of June and another at the beginning of May. So, I’ve decided that once I have the money together for the security deposit, I am going to mail in the application for the apartment along with a check so I have that step out of the way. I was going to try to find a job first, before I find myself an apartment, but in order for me to give a possible job a concrete date to start on, I need a place to live. So, I figure if I get my living situation figured out before I start applying for jobs, I’ll be good in that regard. Besides, I’ll have a few months to find a job, so I should be good.

Now, I just have to figure out how to make money in addition to my job. I started making those headbands and tutus, and made a facebook page for them, so I have to get that rolling. http://www.facebook.com/BittyPretties I just have to find a way to photograph my headbands so they look presentable! I’m also going to pick up babysitting, I think. Anything for money! I need as much as I can put away right now.

My dad is fixing my car tomorrow. I need a new O2 Sensor. The one right behind the catalytic converter is completely dead. Johnny said the wiring around it was fraying too, and that was months ago. It’s only a $60 fix, though, so I can’t complain. However, the codes from my computer showed that there were two other issues. Both problems could be that I needed a new gas cap, so once my O2 sensor is fixed, I’ll have the codes read again. Let’s hope it’ll be fixed! That’s another step to complete before heading off to PA. I have an emissions test that needs to be done before the end of this month. Then my car will be set for another 2 years.

I’m really looking forward to being productive and actually getting things done. I’ve been so discouraged because I felt like there was nothing I could do to make progress in regards to moving back in Pennsylvania. I know I should just take it one step at a time, one day at a time, and that’s what I’m doing.

My first step? Getting that apartment. =] Ohhh, I can’t wait. I sure hope someone doesn’t snag it right from under me.

I know this entry is really boring, but I’ll be writing another entry tonight. This is just stuff I’ve had on my mind and I wanted to get it in a permanent place.
