Life on hold

As I have said I plan to leave California when Zack finishes High School in just over 3 years. But there is a problem with that. I will admit that I really have no life here, but that doesn't mean that I don't want one. I like my job enough and the people are nice, but most days I only have about 5 minutes of work to do for the entire day. But since it took me so long to find this job and I am planning to leave in a few years it is just easier to stay put. Same thing with dating, though I will admit that even though I want a relationship I admit that I seem to suck at making friends since I have none on the entire West Coast and I have been here for over 10 years. But back to the problem. Putting myself out there and taking chances is hard enough as is with out this deadline hovering in the not to distant future. But I also know that I am pretty miserable now and staying in this limbo for 3 more years is a terrible thought. So as I was looking for a part time job yesterday I found a listing for a Full time position for a receptionist at a Vets office. I don't know if anything will come of it but we will see. I also put in a couple applications for part time evening jobs. And maybe if I had a job that puts me out there more I might actually meet someone. At least I need to try to keep an open mind. Also if I am working 55-60+ hours a week at least that will give me less time to deal with my mothers crap. Wish me luck.

Good Bye Money Hello New Car

Well this weekend I started with the first step on my plan to get out of Cali. I bought myself a new to me car. It is a 2014 Hyundai Tucson, It has all kinds of bells and whistles but the best part is that it has low miles and it is new and reliable. It will also hopefully save me on gas and definitely on repairs for the next few years and will be able to make the trip back east when the time comes. Now on to the next part of the plan and that is to find a part time job to help offset the car payments and maybe put something away in savings.
