yes, the rumors are true, we are moving to Brooklyn. One of us doesn't have a job and paying 2000 dollars for rent is not an option anymore so we are moving to Brooklyn. And one might wonder how living in NYC is more affordable than in NJ...well, when one has a great friend like Chris who owns an apartment in Brooklyn and whose tenant is moving out in September and is looking for new tenants...and the stars align etc etc...that's how. It is a lot smaller than what we have now but it is an excellent condition, he did a really great job with the renovations and if one of us is still unemployed by the time we move, that person can just walk everywhere and have some human contact. And don't get me started on the food possibilities! Chris and Mari drove us around on Sunday and showed us all the places we need to know. Mainly public transportation and ALL the restaurants! All this work we have done in the gym the past few months....is in serious jeopardy! LOL!
Anyway, the good thing is we don't have to pay security deposits or realtor's fees and no lease is necessary so when I do find a job, if we need to move out of state, we can just up and leave and he is ok with that. The usual lease length here is 1 year so we cannot obviously do that before I have a job...
Speaking of...there's still no news on the job front. No contacts, no interviews and obviously no offers. It is frustrating. I have applied to about a thousand jobs and no one is even a slightly interested. We do go out a lot during the weekend so I get to see people and go outside. This past weekend we were in south Jersey visiting our friend Erin and had a Luau party. On Sunday we went to see the apartment and this weekend we will have a bbq and I think we have plans for Sunday but I am not sure what they are...lack of mental stimulation is spoiling my brain!
The cats are still great. Even though they sleep most of the day they still amuse me. I wake Sox up about 15 times a day and we watch TV together. No need to wake up Bailey, she is as alert as a guard dog! Any little noise or movement will get her ears and head to move. You know that everything is ok when you see B. Nothing gets past her.
T is also doing great. She gets up at 5am, goes to the gym, goes to work, gets home and has her coaching classes and buddy calls....how she has the energy, I don't know. No wait, I do...it's the awesome home cooked meal she comes home to every night! LOL!
Anyway, FB Bejeweled is offline today so I guess I will need to do actual job hunt! Later
Oh yeah... Happy Birthday Marianne. Perästä tuut ja lujaa! ;-)
