I'm trying to write in this blog daily. It's the first and only real blog I've had, and I want to make it, you know..."special." I'm also digging the practice of daily musings. It's sort of like honing a discipline.
Some happenings in my life at the moment include:
School: I decided to go full throttle this semester and take full-time classes. Ethics, Trial Prep, Criminal Law, and Internship. The internship really doesn't count because I intern where I work, so it's a little bit of cheating, but I'll take it where I can get it. So, really it's three classes. It may be difficult with working full-time, but here's hoping the boss doesn't give me a hard time about scheduling.
Work: Work is super stable. I feel blessed to have an interesting job with a great boss. Pay isn't so hot, and I don't have medical benefits, but it's rewarding work and feels like a 2nd home.
Home: Ahhh, homelife. I live with the bf again. If anyone has read my blog, they will know that this is a temporary situation. I have a couple of options for living arrangements that I've been tossing around.
Option 1 - Stick it out with the bf and apartment until I'm ready to move.
Pros: Convenient, Stable, Basically stress free regarding my material things, Close to work and school, and well, it's just easy to stay put
Cons: Living with the bf gets rough. I am forced to listen to his daily comments about me leaving, about me finding a new boyfriend, about how I'm not affectionate. It will be all that much harder when it's time to leave because I have to worry about packing my stuff in front of a person who doesn't want me to leave, Feeling like my plans will never come to be
Option 2 - Move in with my friend
Pros: Close to work, Freedom, Cheap rent to allow for saving,Even cheaper rent if I help with her kids, Easier transition for moving, Can get rid of the junk, Can pack in peace, Live in a big home, She may be moving to the east coast also and might be able to hitch a ride with her
Cons: She's in the middle of a nasty divorce and is not in a good mental space, She has two kids, Pressure to hang with her all the time, Might get driven nuts with pending divorce and children, Stress of moving stuff to a new place while in school
If anyone reads this thing, I'm craving, no, I'm desperate to hear your thoughts on the living situation. I know I haven't given much info, but just based on what's above, what's the logical choice?

Dangerdo - Neither option sounds sanely good for you. I vote for researching an option 3. You should start the new year with a positive environment for growth. ~Munchkin
ReplyDeleteHi Munchkin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughts. Unfortunately, those are my only current options. Moms and pops are not nearby to run home to, and I have a savings account that takes top priority in my decision making. It's a complicated situation, and although I wouldn't say I'm in a negative environment, I would say that I know it will eventually change for the better!
I can hear the frustration of the decision. And, hell, I'm living option #1 right now, so I know how frustrating that is (can/will be).
ReplyDeleteI'd say to let it sit with you and send energy out to the universe to help the decision be easier on you. (I know, I sound like such a hippie, but it can work.) I hope another option opens up to you - I think it would be better on your sanity and your ability to balance fulltime work with fulltime school.
Sending positive thougths your way.
*HUGS*
