@mrjoecobb Don’t fret, I’m just as speechless as you.

Back to Work

After 59 days without a full time job, I start tomorrow at the same hospital as Jeremy! I’ll be working in their rehab hospital doing close to the same thing that I was in Charlotte, just in a faster, busier, more demanding environment. I’m so relieved and yet so concerned that I will not be able to survive the 8 hour day again…I’ve really gotten accustomed to having a relaxing breakfast, doing stuff around the house, and watching a variety of cooking shows and Ellen everyday at 3!

Luckily for our pocket books, I’ve been working a few hours a day covering vacations and such at various hospitals, but it appears that the glorious world of part-time work is now a thing of the past for me…why didn’t anyone tell me to stop complaining about my lack of job?

Another twitter test.

Just a test.

Life of the Unemployed House Wife, Day 1

Rebecca — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 13:42:57 +0000

It’s only 8:30 in the morning and I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. I have already driven my husband to work, eaten breakfast, and watched the Today show. I suppose it’s part of the unspoken rules of the unemployed housewife to clean the house…but there’s always tomorrow to do that. Don’t want to accomplish everything on the first day of unemployment!

I suggested to Jeremy that I should go sight-seeing, but apparently that requires money…of which I am making none. So what does that mean, no money=no fun? Maybe I’ll look for a bar tending job today??

Jeremy’s only request for the day…”please don’t start drinking before 3:00″, hmmm all I can say is “I’ll try”.

Hitting the Road

Parcho — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 12:11:49 +0000

Heading out on I-77 this morning with a truck full of just about all our belongings. Unfortunately we have to drive the truck and our car separately as their is no way I’m going to tow a car behind the rental truck. It might make for some lonely driving. We decided to procure some walkie-talkies just for kicks. Maybe we can listen in on the truckers!

If not for our mothers and the help of a co-worker this packing madness would have devolved into insanity. Instead it went off without much of a hitch. And yesterday’s rain held off!

Now on to Chicago! (via Indy)

I’ll be extremely upset if it …

I’ll be extremely upset if it rains tomorrow.

Moving Weekend

Parcho — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 00:52:44 +0000

After a year of waiting–moving day has finally come. We began packing the truck today with some of the large things and we’ll load numerous boxes tomorrow and early Saturday morning. I need some Advil.

Our trip will take us from Charlotte to Indianapolis on Saturday where we’ll spend the evening. We’ll get up on Sunday morning and complete the trip into Chicago proper. We’ve decided to go with a moving company to assist with the unloading of the truck in Chicago, but we’re doing all the driving and loading on the Charlotte end. That’s probably not a bad trade off. Chance of rain tomorrow afternoon when we’re loading the boxes–50%. Go figure.

The rental truck is just a sixteen foot Penske, but it will take some getting used to on the interstate I’m sure. The guy who rented us the truck (he was about 70 and had no interest in using his computer system to process the order) informed us that we’ll have to stop at each open “weigh station” on the way. I’ll have to do some digging to see if that’s the case–I mean, what exactly does one do at a “weigh station” anyway?

Option 3 it is!

Rebecca — Sun, 09 May 2010 19:57:14 +0000

Well, option 2 also fell through when the owner took it off the market after a week of waiting to get back to us! Luckily, we were able to find a place in the same neighborhood, just across the street from option 2. The pictures of it look decent; it has most of the qualities we were looking for; and we’ll be its official renters before ever having stepped foot in the door! Comforting huh?

We are very excited, though, to finally know where we will be unloading our stuff in 4 weeks…we were beginning to get extremely worried.

Now on to worry about getting a job…first phone interview tomorrow, we’ll see how it goes!

Waiting Sucks

Rebecca — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:37:51 +0000

We are beginning to wonder if Chicago really wants us to move there. After a seriously stressful week of looking for a place to live, being ditched by the realtor, looking at some crap-hole apartments, then waiting to the last minute to hear back on a rental offer…option one has gone to the crapper. Apparently, the landlord decided we were too much of a financial risk….what the heck??? A doctor and a therapist, really?? Are we really not going to pay our rent?? Really?

So, now we are waiting… again… waiting on option 2, much smaller, just as fantastic, but taking just as freaking long to find out if we can simply RENT it! Since when did it become so hard to RENT a place? Maybe we should go ahead and line up option 3…
