......5 weeks left.....

Seeing that I've been blogging so much about just wanting to move out of Palmyra back into Waukesha county, I figure I need to talk about other things to pass the time.  Let's see, this week I'm only working for 3 days this week with a total of 3 hours, each. That's only 9 hours. Monday: The pool at the YMCA is closed from now until after Labor day which is a shame, because today would have been a good day to go swimming as hot out as it is today. I guess I could always go swimming somewhere else but it would cost me money. Jason also got a new job working at Pizza Hut, but he'll only be making 12 an hour. It's still more than what I'm making at Pick N Save as a bagger. Hopefully that should change in the next month. Hopefully I start getting paid a little more money than what I'm making,  now. Last night we had an electrical storm, more or less go through Southeastern Wisconsin, and ot may have done quite a number on some of the trees. Anyways, as of...

Just think........

Just think, it's almost been a year since Jason and I first moved out here to Palmyra, and now we're going to be getting back out of Palmyra in only 5 more weeks as of tomorrow! Yes, I already made myself a countdown calendar. And I might even put that on the wall. I did the same thing last December as a way of keeping track of how many months we had left before our year long lease is up. And as of this Friday our lease for our place in Palmyra will be up. I would also like to point out that I'm already emotionally ready to be moving out of here. And I know that we're somewhat physically ready to move out, since now we have somewhere to go. We just need to start saving up every week at least 433.00 and then we're prepared.

Thinking, and how my work day went, yesterday

So in the last month, 1 thing I've been thinking about is how this place looked when we first moved in and how 1 day, it's going to be looking like that again. Yesterday was kinda interesting at work. 1 of the customers had some kind of back injury and couldn't really do alot of bending over. So she had me help her take her groceries to her car. And I got a tip of 1.35. Cool. Now, although there maybe times I'll show up at work and just won't really feel like wanting to be there, I think I should be lucky to have gotten a job working in a disability friendly workplace by myself. Besides I need the money. And because the SSI money I receive every month runs out too fast, it's good that I'm working and getting money to help keep my balance a float. Anyway yesterday when it got close to it being the end of my shift, I remember feeling tired and just wanting it to be over. I had a co-worker who felt the same way. Now, I know that depending on where you work, wor...

Good news and bad news

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that not only do we have less than a year left before our lease in Palmyra is up. And not only do we have less than a year left but we now have less than a month left. The only bad news is that we might still have to stay in Palmyra for 1 more month. But on the plus side, it gives us a chance to get financially prepared to pay rent for our new place. This also gives Jason a chance to get a job, so he can earn the money that he would need to afford to live in our new place. At least August is going to be our last full month to live in Palmyra before we have to start packing our things up, again and start getting it out of there. Another good thing is that if you're living in an apartment and you're going to stay put after the year long lease is up, the lease goes down from a year long to a month long. So, after the year long lease is up, you can pretty much move out anytime after the year long lease is up. I know th...

Another month has just about gone by

I can't believe this! We're already in the last full week of August! September begins at the beginning the end of next week.  Let's see what's all happened this month: First, at the end of July and beginning of August, I had gone in for a job interview and ended up getting a job as a bagger at Pick N save.  Then in yhe first weekend, Jason and I went down to Cool Waters for a little while.  Then during the first full week of August,  we went to look at that apartment in Pewaukee a 2nd time. By then, I started feeling uncomfortable about that guy who was the landlord for that place, and we decided to stick to either getting an apartment in Mukwonago or Waukesha.  Then on Friday that week, I started my first day of work as a bagger.  And then later that evening that landlord called me back and the way he was acting on the phone after I told him as nicely as I could, no thank you,  and it did bother me and made me glad we weren't going to be moving ther...

8/18/2018

Well, I know I've said I've mentioned this many times, before, but just think: Yes, for most of last year I was living in Waukesha but then ended up in Palmyra for the rest of last year. And for most of the year, we've been living in Palmyra for most of the year, but for the rest of this year, we will be back in Mukwonago. And I think possibly on Monday, we're supposed to meet with the landlord of this new place, and sign a new lease for this place in Mukwonago. And hopefully then we'll find out when we can start moving things in. So, that should be nice. It also feels good to know that not only do we have less than a year left before our lease for where we are now is up, but we now have less than a month left. What's also interesting is that this wouldn't be the first time Jason has lived in Mukwonago. He has lived in Mukwonago once, before. And yeah, we still have to drive through Eagle in Wisconsin just to get where ever else it is we're going in the ...

I think the search for apartments is finally over!

Well, I think the search for apartments in Waukesha county is finally over! As they say, 3rd time is a charm! Apart from a few bad moments I had today where I lost my temper, I'm glad to say that at least Jason and I got the apartment we saw, the other day. And on Monday afternoon at 5pm, we have to go over and sign some paperwork for the new place. Now, because this new landlord saw a side of me I wish he hadn't, I know I really need to figure out a better way to deal with situations that maybe frustrating. Otherwise if he give us a chance and he sees me flying off the handle, we could evict us because of my temper. That's far more of a reason to evict a tennant in an apartment complex, than it is to evict someone just because their unit is a little messy, and hasn't been able to find the time to make sure it's spick and spand, and because they're constantly going to be in the tenant's personal space and business. (Just don't be losing your temper in fr...

Apartments we've looked at

1. Fleetfoot apts 2. An apartment in Pewaukee 3. Waukesha Manor 4. Springdale apartments in Brookfield 5. Riverview Apartments in Mukwonago 6. Rivers Edge 7. Walnut Grove apartments, Waukesha 8. 211 Apartment building on Morris street, Pewaukee 9. Lambeth, Waukesha 10. Ashlynn Village, Mukwonago

If we get the apartment in Mukwonago

If we get that apartment we looked at in Mukwonago today, I'm just going to be like, So long, Palmyra! Rose, Jason and Boo are returning to Mukwonago! Mukwonago, I hope you're ready for the 3 of us to move back in! Did you miss us?!

I think this time we found what we're looking for

So, Jason and I just got done looking at another apartment in Mukwonago. After seeing it, I have to say, I'm impressed! It has all the amenities we want, it's pet friendly, there's no security deposit for pets. And monthly rent for where we just looked at is 850. a month! I think we found the perfect place to move to! The search is over! It's even better than what we had at West Grove! When we came by, I knew I had a good feeling about the apartment complex. And after what I saw today, I love it. And I just want to do a happy dance. I literally feel like doing a happy dance, right about now.  YAAAAAAYYYY!!!! So, I think now, it'll be safe to say that, we definitely will be out of Palmyra, Wisconsin in plenty of time for Halloween. I do know that just days prior to us moving out, I'm going to resumw my plans to get Boo and all his things out of there, first. And he can stay over at my parents house while we're getting all our stuff out of there. If there...

Highlights for August, so far, this year.

So far, here's some highlights for August of this year: 1. Jason and I got to go to Cool Waters together, for a little while. Finally! 2. I got a part time job working at Pick N Save in Mukwonago. My quest towards getting a job anywhere this year was taking such a long time, so I finally took matters into my own hands. 3. I've got pictures that I'm going to be entering in Walworth county fair, this year Today, Jason and I are going to be looking at another apartment complex in Mukwonago. If it allows cats regardless of whether or not they're declawed or their age, it's within our ranges that we'd be able to afford monthly, and it's 2 bedroom, we'll take it. Just hope we get accepted to move in, if it meets what we're looking for. If it doesn't have a dishwasher, it's not the worst thing in the world. Or if it doesn't have an open breakfast bar, either. Or a walk in closet. But since I'm working, maybe if we get accepted to move ...

One way or another.......

One way or another, hopefully we WILL be getting out of Palmyra, Wisconsin, this fall. Yesterday Jason and I went to look at another apartment complex in Mukwonago, yesterday, which I thought looked nice. But our appointment to look at the apartment fell through because the guy didn't get permission to let us see it. But at least I could understand what was being said. At this point, all I care about is if the rent is affordable, it's 2 bedroom, and cats are welcome there, regardless of their age or whether or not they're declawed, and that's it's in Mukwonago or Waukesha.  Luckily we got to reschedule it for Wednesday, this week. And hopefully we'll find out if it's cat friendly and I'll get to see it, too. Hopefully I'll like it as well. If so, and we're approved, then I'm all for moving back into Mukwonago. No more living in Palmyra, no more driving through in and out of Eagle, just to get to wherever it is we're going in the Waukesha ...

I'm glad we're not going to be moving to Pewaukee

Well, I'm glad we're NOT moving to Pewaukee, WI. Not to that apartment where that Indian guy is the landlord. We already met with the guy, twice. He already showed us that apartment, twice. First time he showed it to us, he then calls us up to tell us that he gave it to someone else. Then he calls me back again saying he wanted to show us the apartment after he already showed it to us. Then after Jason tried calling him 3 times trying to tell him he'd give him the money, he tells Jason that he would have to show him the apartment to us when he already saw it. Does this guy not remember that we already met with him and that he already showed it to us? Does he need to take a picture of us right then and there, so he remembers he already met with us? Is he going senile or something? And this evening he calls me, trying to insult me. He said he set up an appointment for us to go view it but we never showed up, when we did, twice. At first I tried to be polite with him and said,...

Some updates

Ok, so maybe I thought I liked that 1 apartment we looked at in Pewaukee, at first. Then the landlord guy had us thinking he rented it out to someone else. And I know I was upset at first, but then after thinking it over, I decided that if we move back into the Waukesha county area, I'd rather either move back into Waukesha or Mukwonago. And if we get an apartment together in either of those areas, I'd rather get an apartment that's managed by a landlord who I can at least understand. The landlord of that place in Pewaukee had an accent which made it very hard for me to understand what he was saying. And I'd rather have a landlord who I can at least understand. Anyway, that Indian guy tried to get Jason and I to come back again and ended up having us look at the same unit again that he had us look at, the last time. It's like he didn't remember that he showed us the place before or that he saw us once before, and with him being an older man, I think he might be ...

Time to throw in the towel

I think it's time to throw in the towel, when it comes to looking for apartments in Waukesha county, for this year. The apartment we looked at in Pewaukee 2 weeks ago was taken. But we didn't have the money for immediate security deposit. We're probably going to have to stay put for the rest of the year, and start looking again next year. Maybe by then, we'll be able to get a house. But all I know is, we're getting closer and closer to the end of our lease for where we are, and we still haven't gotten a new place in Waukesha county where we can move to after our lease in Palmyra is up. Maybe I need to accept that it's just not going to happen, this year. I know I might have looked at other places online,  but it doesn't mean we're going to get any of them. And I don't want to wait until October just to move the hell out of here. If we can't move out of here after our lease for this place is up, then fuck it. We may as well stay put for the re...

Had a dream that had me laughing in my sleep last night.

So, I had this dream that had me laughing in my sleep. I dreamed that I came into this store and there were some clothes I liked, some were all glittery and sparkly. Some of them looked like some cute summer clothes I would maybe like to wear. But then some how I found out that either the clothes or the store was a gay department store. You know how they have gay bars? This was a clothes store that was supposed to be for people who were openly and flamboyantly gay. There were even t-shirts there for gay women saying, "I Like to kiss Girls"on it. All I know is, I woke up in the middle of the night laughing about it.

Pricing for a minivacation

So yesterday and today, I tried to look up information on both 6 Flags Great America and the Keylime Cove resort. If there's 1 thing I remember about staying there overnight, 7 years ago, it's that Jason said he liked staying at the Kalahari resort in the Wisconsin Dells alot better. Well, ironically enough, I found out that the Keylime Cove resort just recently a makeover. And not only did it get a makeover, but it's now the new Great Wolf Lodge in Gurnee, Illinois. So, of we were to pull this trip off to Fright Fest at 6 Flags, this fall, and then stay there overnight, and at the same time, Jeremae and Tim had never stayed over night in such a fancy hotel resort, before,  then I'd say we're all in for a treat, this fall, if we save up whatever we can from work and what we get from SSI, and combine all that, I think we should be able to afford it. Now I know that Jeremae and Tim are also trying to save up for a car, and if that's something they need and want to...

Thinking about a mini vacation with Jason

Ok so, lately I've been doing some thinking some of the things I did, 10 years ago, and how much fun I had that summer and fall. Another fun thing I remember doing that fall was when me Jeremae, and Amy went to 6 Flags Great America, and how much fun that was when we went. Then I also thought about how Jason had wanted to go on a mini vacation this year. So I thought that maybe, me and Jason and Jeremae and Tim could get together this fall, and go to 6 Flags Great America for Fright Fest, again as a fun way of celebrating the Halloween. But if we do that, we should go on a Saturday, because then, the park is open, all day, during the day. And if it's open during the day, that'll make it easier to find our way around the park. And then maybe we could also stay over night at the Keylime Cove resort.  Or maybe we could also go to the Wisconsin Dells around Halloween, just to see what there all is going on, at that time, because it's cheaper. Maybe this next month after we...
