This morning, shortly after I posted my last post, I checked my credit card statements and saw that the payments I'd made on them with A.'s bank account were put back on my card. I expected this happen, just didn't know when. So I texted A., figuring he would be happy to hear that, and he was. But now he's saying he's not going to pay the entire balances (which he had previously said he would). I was tired of arguing with him, so I sent him all of my statements so he could decide which charges he is going to pay (most of them are his). But all of this put him in a better mood and feeling of control, so he decided to act semi-reasonable today.
I set up Parker's flight to Phoenix. She will arrive Friday afternoon. I can hardly wait. All A. has to do, as I wrote before, is receive the crate I ordered and had delivered, write on the top and side of it, get Parker a health certificate and drop her off at the airport, where he is already going to be on Friday to pick up friends.Yay, Parker!
I also discovered that someone I thought respected me was slandering me behind my back to people at my old job (where I hope to get a new job). I sent a very polite and non-confrontational email to him asking why he would do such a thing when he hasn't even asked to hear my side of the story. He's just stupid, so I'm not going to waste any more time talking about that. It just hurt. But that's that.
A. decided that he would send me my clothes, finally. I'm not sure when, but it seemed like he would do it fairly soon. As for the books and other items, maybe I can get him to send boxes later whenever he gets around to packing them. It will be like christmas randomly happening all through summer.
This afternoon, my old boss texted me to see if I could come in to the office on Friday to "meet with him". I can only hope that this means discussing open positions. I think that if there was nothing, then he would have just told me over the phone. So, that's Friday morning, and Parker gets here Friday afternoon, and Friday evening is my hosts' public engagement celebration at the house here.
Tonight, I went out with my friend to the T-Mobile store to change my service plan and get a local phone number. It was too late in the day to cancel my AT&T, so tomorrow morning I'll do that and replace the SIM card. On the way home, we got into a minor accident and she got a flat tire and broke one of the rods under the car that hold the tire in place.
Tomorrow I'm also going to look at two apartments with a friend. The reviews for both were not great, but they are cheap and worth a look. We're going to make a day out of it with lunch, apartment hunting, catching up on Game of Thrones, and then bowling that night.
I'm hoping that I can start my job sooner rather than later... and that A. send money soon. I really need to get a car, hopefully before I move into an apartment. And my car insurance needs to be renewed on the 6th (good timing to get a new car), and my phone bill will be due... so yeah. I know it's only been a week since I moved here, but I'm pretty stressed about everything. So stressed, I think it's causing me a constant sore throat. I went to the grocery story today and had to get some Chloraseptic lozenges. Also haven't been sleeping well... or eating well... except today I think I ate decently.
So, cross your fingers for me that this job thing works out well.
