I should find out today or tomorrow if I will get a job in my old office. It wouldn't be the same position, which is fine - I'll be happy just to have a job with benefits (and bonuses!).
Since A. is taking his time about sending me my things and the money he owes me, today I'm going to take care of myself. I have my credit cards, but no cash or checking account to pay the cards with. I did remember a savings account with over $700 in it, but I have no way of directly withdrawing that money. So, time to be creative. Today I'm going to try to remember my credit card PIN, take a cash advance from an ATM, open a new checking account, and transfer the funds in my savings to my checking. That will be about a 3-day process, but when it's finished, I'll completely pay off my credit card since the interest on cash lines is very high. I should have some money left over in the account afterward, which will be good.
While I'm out and about today, I'm going to stop by the grocery store and pick up a few ingredients for my delicious Hungarian Beef Stew, which I plan to make tonight for my hosts. It's about time I ate something too - yesterday was a whopping 511 calories, all because of a sandwich in the evening.
This morning I researched how to ship Parker to me the cheapest and fastest way. Looks like that way is American Airlines Cargo. I emailed A. to see if he would be able to drop her off on Saturday morning, but he hasn't responded yet. As soon as he does, I will order the correct crate for her and have it delivered to the house so all A. will have to do is run across the street to get a health/rabies certificate from the vet, write "LIVE ANIMALS" on the top and side of the crate, and my name, address & phone #, and drop her off at the Tampa Airport. If he's not willing to do this, then my patience will be sorely tested. (See previous post.)
I also talked to my mom this morning. At least she didn't say "I told you so."
