I have had more "fresh starts" than I know what to do with. So many people complain about second chances, I've had what? 1....2....3.....4...5 now? I just can't believe the chances I've had and wasted. This time, I hope my Do-Over sticks.
I am moved into my apartment, started my new job. Done training. Selling cars tomorrow. I meet new people every day, and every new person is an opportunity to make my life better. I'm just so darn optimistic right now! I have a job where I have the chance to make a lot of money, and in my area all the other sales people are doing super well for themselves. Why not me? I'm very confident that I will do well here. Plus the environment is suitable for me, I have a nice office with a huge window and I don't have to wear a tacky uniform and apron, I have a lot of freedom and I like it a lot so far. Though I am only four days in.
My things are all moved into my new place and I can't wait to see it. Momma warned me that my furniture is a little big and not to get upset, but honestly I'm sure it's probably fine. If it's not, I'm sure there'll be a post about it tomorrow.
I won't get home til pretty late tonight, I don't get out of work until nine and I have to stop by Mama's and pick up a few things like my cell phone charger and some clothes for tomorrow and a shower curtain. I won't even get to Ma's til about 9:15, then I'll be there gathering stuff and socializing til at least 9:30 or 9:45. That puts me at 10:00 at least. Then I have to get home and put stuff away and set stuff up and blah blah blah. I'll be in bed pretty late I reckon.
Tomorrow I work 9 to 7, I'm excited about that because it's kind of boring between 7 and 9 it seems. I have a couple people coming in to by cars from me in the next week, I love knowing people and being outgoing. It really works for me.
It's a good feeling to be on top of things. I have a nice apartment, (even if it is 18 years old, it's still super nice.) a real job, and a loving family this always just a phone call away. It really can't get much better!
I'm all hyped up on coffee and soda. Oy. I'm bouncing off the walls a little for sure, but hey, at least I'll have the energy to do all the stuff I have to do tonight :-)

Better than I expected.
I'm doing much better moneywise than I thought. So relieved.
Started my new job today, it's nice to dress nice for work and have my own office. Also, it seems that they get plenty of business so I hope to sell my first car on Saturday. I'm confident that I will be able to do it! YAH!
I'm feeling way better about everything. I can't wait to get into my new place! Todd and Alex are going to be moving my big furniture in, apparently, every day this week while I'm at work. I didn't ask them to do this, I really think Todd just wants something to do. None the less, I'm grateful for the moving help. If I get my bed moved in, I can sleep there tomorrow :-) Todd and I are going down around 9 so I can sign the papers and he can help me during the walk through cause I know I wont see anything. I go to work at 11. I'm leaving work at 3 to move stuff in. The best part is that I make salary right now so it doesn't even matter that I'm leaving early tomorrow! YAY!
I'm just so darn excited I can't even stand it!

Meh.
The person that was stalking all my online stuff isn't doing so anymore, and it makes me feel better to blog, so here I am again.
I move into my new place in three days. I had to switch insurance agents to get renter's insurance and jump through hoops to get my electricity switched over, but it's done now. I'm broke. I wasn't accounting for all the down payments for everything, and I only made 1,000 dollars last month at Ihop. If I can just make it through the next two weeks I'll get my first paycheck from my new job and my last paycheck from my old one.
Speaking of new jobs: I got hired as a salesperson at Randy Marion. I don't know if this is a good thing or bad thing, but I'm pretty good at selling things and I have the opportunity to make a lot of money. Or not. "You get out what you put in." Said the guy that hired me. So if I sell no cars, I make no money. O yay.
I can't wait for things to get better. I'm so stressed out about money that I'm considering backing out of my apartment all together. I know that two weeks from now I'll be in good shape, but what about until then? I have NO left over money. At all. I had 200 dollars extra aside from my rent, and I had to spend that yesterday to get insurance. How am I going to eat in the next two weeks? How am I going to get anywhere with no gas? Is this worth it? I hope so. I'm exaggerating a little bit, I'll probably be staying here until sometime next week because no one will be able to help me move, but that just covers food. Gas is an issue. Serious one. I'm so screwed. Maybe I'm over reacting. I don't know.
On the upside, in two weeks I'll be more than OK in the money department. O yay.
Even though I am super stressed out about it, I am also really excited about my apartment. I can't wait to get in there, put up curtains, place my furniture, put up my porch swing, and have a place that is all me. No room mates. Just me. Also the weight room is 24 hour access. Since I'll be too poor to do anything else for a little while, I plan to spend a lot of time in that room.
I'm not going to get cable or internet until I have things budgeted out and I know what I can and can't afford. So it's also a good thing that there is a 24 hour business center with internet at my apartment too. Maybe I'll waste less time online because I'll have to walk down there. I'll definitely be in bed earlier.
I am paying my car/renter's insurance quarterly, so I don't have to pay anything on that again until November 11th. That makes me happy.
I'm as serious as a heart attack when I say that in two weeks I will be more than ok on money. I don't want to lose my apartment all together just because I'm going to have a tough two weeks. Here I am weighing out the pros and cons, Should I get my apartment and be broke and miserable and worried for two weeks, or should I lose my apartment (which is something that makes me happy and proud of myself) and stay here but have two weeks of financial peace? I think it is worth it to move. If I can just find like 15 dollars for gas for the next two weeks I will be ok. (Which I might find, I find money all the time)
I should stop freaking out. I am such a Stressed-out Sally! Of course I'm going to move into my apartment. I have already paid my first three months of insurance. My electricity goes into my name on tuesday. I have the furniture for it in storage. If worse comes to worse, I'll take back my bathroom shelf and then buy it again in two weeks. I just need to calm down. Calm down. Calm down....1...2....3....4....5....6...7.....8.....9...10. I do feel a little better. Sometimes all it takes is a little reasoning with myself. Am I going crazy?
