A time of change

Wow, time keeps getting away from me. It's been almost two weeks since my last blog post, which is amazing when I really stop to think about it. Where did the time go? So much has happened in the last week, that I think it just slipped right into the future without me even noticing.

What's happened, you might ask? Well, all in one day I found out that I would be losing my apartment and gaining a job. I'm feeling a bit unsettled by all of this. On the one hand, I'm incredibly happy to have been offered a job, even if it's not in my original field. On the other hand, I'm not very happy about having to move. I love my place. It has everything I wanted and it's in my price range, which is awfully hard to find. The worst part is that I'm not only losing my apartment through no fault of my own, but it's that I'll be losing my security deposit as well. Oh, and finding another apartment before I actually start a new job is also going to be difficult, hence we move on to what may be the next stage in my life: home ownership!

I haven't actually decided about buying a house. I think I'll just move in with my mother for a while, difficult as that may be, and consider my options while saving some money, while also helping her to sell her house. It's the best interim plan I can come up with, so it's with trepidation and a hint of hope that I'm embarking on this new stage of my life.
