Okay. I’m about to really go ape-shit over here… so I need to put together a calendar.
June 15 – get paid
June 15 – make arrangements for driving classes
June 15 – apply for passport.
June 18 – July 6 – Take driving lessons
July 6 – Aug 1 – Test drive cars
July 9 – Decide whether to give Apartment 30 day notice
July 13 – Get paid (a Friday!)
Aug 6 – Take driving test
Aug 7 – buy Car
Aug 8 – 14 – move (possibly)
Aug 15 – Get Paid
Aug 20 – go to Spain
Sept 3 – Return to Indy.
Hm. Actually not too bad after all. By the time I want to get the car, I will have saved up enough for insurance (no doubt) and (maybe) deposit and the like on the apartment.
So… what worries do I have?
1) That I won’t find an apartment that I like for a good price.
a. Well… that can be handled by getting a short lease somewhere (anywhere) safe & cheap so that I can afford the car…and then I can move again in January or March. I don’t HAVE to have something precisely perfect right away.
2) That I won’t like the car or it won’t fit me right
a. Well… that is really a minor worry placed in my head by someone else. *shrugs* To me a car is a car… a device to get from point a to point b. As long as it gets me there safely, and doesn’t eat up shitloads of gas… I think I will be happy.
3) That I won’t pass my driving test.
a. Pshaw. I just included that to acknowledge the fact that it might happen. After I take these classes, that will really be the LAST thing that I am going to stress over.
4) That I won’t get my passport on time.
a. Well… It tends to take 6 weeks. If I get the application in next week, that gives me almost 8 weeks to get it back. And since I’m doing this through the company, that reduces the worries even more.
5) That I will have serious money crunch issues.
a. Well…lately I have been having the absolute best of luck/chance/blessing when it has come to money. I’m not sure how long this will last, so I am just doing the best with it that I can. Also, as I have a relatively immediate need/desire for ‘extra’ money, I will be much much more aware about saving and keeping my grubby fingers OUT of my savings account. Also, while I am in Spain, I will be totally on the company dollar, so that will be less money that I am spending.
What kinda threw me for a worry worry fret fret loop was the fact that I found out today that I AM going to Spain…even though I had been told for the past few weeks/months that I would NOT be going to Spain. And since the time that I would be going to Spain is about the same time that I wanted to move I was a little worried. While it does cramp my style a LITTLE… *shrugs* I’m really not going to stress it… now that I have it laid out all nice and pretty on paper.
*sighs* No more stress.
Stay Jazzed.
