We have officially been in Louisville for one week...and I don't really know how exactly I feel about that.
I know that I don't have a choice to be here, so I need to be okay with it, so I guess that is how I feel.
This week several things occurred that were difficult:
*our Missouri home closed and the new owner took possession
*my friends all went back to work...where I would have been if we hadn't moved...where I have been going for the past ten years
I knew the first would be hard. The second? I thought I would feel relief. Instead I felt a sense of loss. They are moving on without me, which is the way it should be, but still...
I met my Kentucky obgyn, and she is very similar to my Kansas City one, which is great because I loved that doctor!
Claire started school this week as well, leaving me with hours during the day to fill. I love to feel productive and I want to feel like I am contributing to my family's finances, so here is what I have been working on:
*I applied for an online tutoring job. I have a second interview tomorrow.
*I have been working on my YouTube channel as well as this and another blog, with the hopes that one day I could maybe make some money
*Using opinion outpost and swagbucks to earn gift cards
*Working on my Cat Facts Facebook page (hey, you never know where an opportunity to make some moula will arise)
Also, I have been utilizing apps that will help me save money when I shop. These apps are ibotta, shopkicks, and ebates (not an app, a website). So far I have saved $2.20 by doing virtually nothing. Not much, I realize, but it's something.
Claire has been adjusting well to school and Chris seems to enjoy having us here with him. Truly, I am the one struggling the most with the transition. I feel a little lost and I don't really know what to do with myself. I have some plans for the upcoming week, and I will keep you posted as things develop.
