a weekend of emotions

first of all, today i weigh 213. amazing. i’ve lost 96#. only 4# left in the countdown to lose 100#. i’m super excited about hitting that milestone. i’ve been spending the day cleaning and would do a few minutes on the treadmill while waiting for my dog to do his business in the back yard each time.

yesterday work was crazy. busy. some hostility between some co-workers. monday will be a new day. 

also yesterday helped my mom do some cleaning. my mom has her house and also owns a town home & a condo. i live in the condo. i don’t pay rent but i do take care of the utilities. the town home has had renters in it for 2yrs. their lease is up & my mom isn’t renewing it w/ them b/c they don’t pay on time anymore & their checks don’t clear at the bank. so they will be out at the end of february & i’ll be helping my mom clean the place to get it ready to be put up for rent again.

ANYWAYS…my mom informed me that she has decided to put the condo (AKA my home) up for rent. yeah. that means i’ve gots to go!!! ahhhh. i want to cry. i haven’t had to rent an apartment since 2004. i have pretty much no money saved. how am i going to afford this? she’s totally going to help me figure out how to budget my money better so i can start saving. but still, my expenses will exceed my income so i really need to figure things out fast. i have until this summer to get my shit together. she wants to put it up for rent by the START of summer, which means i’ve got to get out sooner than that so that it can be painted & all that jazz.

it just sucks. i totally understand that she wants/needs to make money off the condo. particularly b/c her husband is a lazy, jobless, piece of shit whom i absolutely HATE! i’m excited to have a new place to call home. i’m excited to pay for my shit. but i just need to figure out my money situation.

of course this all means my spending in Vegas is gonna be halted. so much for getting a louis vuitton purse at the city center :( oh well. this is good. this condo is too big for me anyway. it just me, my cat & my chihuahua and its a 1300 sq ft 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom condo. a small 700-800sqft apartment will do my just fine. i hope. 

so i’ve been doing cleaning of my own this weekend as well. obviously i need to start getting rid of shit that i don’t want or need. b/c i do have a lot of shit! i’ve also been searching for apartments. the first apartment complex i lived in the rent used to be $599/mo and is now over $700 for the same apartment! my second apartment i had a 2 bedroom w/ a roommate, but their 1 bedroom is over $700 as well. so i’ve got searching to do. and i’ve gotta work on vegas planning still as well. 

so much stuff running through my brain!!
