I Hate When I Forget The Title

Since our trip back to Nebraska, we have come to the conclusion that we do want to move out of San Jose.  I personally could live here for a few more years, however Jacob seems to think that San Jose is the reason why we have as many relationship related problems as we do.  I pointed out to him that it shouldn’t matter where we live… that we should be happy just to be together regardless of our location.  He is adament about getting away from here though.

I know he was thinking about moving back to Nebraska, but as much as I love my family, I just know that there is a reason why I have continuously moved away from there.  Sooo… we have decided that we are going to check out Oregon.  I’ve never been there, but I know that it’s beautiful there.  We want to live along or close to the coast, and I checked out some places on craigslist yesterday to get an idea of how much it will cost to live there.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that it’s not nearly as much as where we live now, and while we may not make quite as much as we do now, I wouldn’t be surprised if we’d be able to find jobs that pay us around the same as what we make now.  If that would be the case, then we would be sitting very pretty.

We have decided to set a plan in motion to move within the next 6-12 months.  We are going to go ahead and renew the lease on our apartment for 6 months so as not to incur an additional $100 a month charge on top of the rent increase that is going to go into effect starting in June.  I’m thinking that with that as of the beginning of next year, we will be living in a new state.  I’m sure there are many things that could and/or will happen between now and then that may or may not affect our move.  As of right now though, this is our plan.

Things weren’t so good when we got home on Monday night.  I am under the impression that Shannon did the bare minimum when it came to taking care of the dog.  I don’t even think she really stayed at the apartment most of the time.  I also figured out why the dog was acting out as much as she was.  None of her toys were out!  She didn’t have anything to play with other than a few small toys that weren’t nearly enough to keep her occupied.  WTF??  No wonder she was chewing on things that weren’t normally on her chew toy menu.

Oh… and I can’t forget to mention the carpet that has now been nicely dug up by the front door.  Yeah… talk about one pissed off Jamie.  It took quite a bit of self restraint to not completely go off on the dumb-ass bitch that I allowed into my house to care for the dog.  NEVER AGAIN!  For the most part, I refuse to talk to her at this point.  I obviously was entirely too naive to think that this arrangement would ever have worked.  Trust me… I’ve learned my lesson. 

The dog will be getting her complete set of shots this month, and anytime that she isn’t able to go with us on any trips from now on… she will be put into animal boarding.  I don’t care if it is expensive.  It can’t possibly cost more than what I’m going to have to pay because Dumb Bitch can’t listen for shit and simply take care of a dog with some common sense.  I can’t help but think that she did it on purpose, but I’m not even going to go there right now.  Needless to say, I have now met the first and only person that I absolutely want to beat the living tar out of.  Not sure if that feeling will ever go away.

Oh well… I’m thinking about looking for a different job anyway.  I’m going to stay here until after I get back from my trip in June.  After that though, I’d like to find something that does pay me more that what I make now.  Granted, like I said, if I have a job that pays this much when/if we move up north it would be quite sufficient.  Even here it is sufficient, but I’d like something that is more than sufficient.  I want something that is going to cushion our pockets just a little bit more.  Especially if we are going to take a big step and move out of state.

And if I don’t work here anymore, then I don’t have to interact with Dumb Bitch anymore.  And THAT is always a good think in my book.
