Moving Is Definitely Not That Easy

Hey everyone!

So as I said on my Friday post, today I will be talking about my adventure of moving into my own home. I moved into my house on April 30^th, because we got permission from the landlord to move in a day earlier than the start of our lease. So we began moving at around 9:30am and by 11 we had the moving van packed with the first load of mine and all of my roommates things (I have 4 roommates) and we go to start moving things into our new house. We got there fine but as soon as we walked inside of the house we see that the living room is full of couches and items from what looked to be a bedroom. We then go over to our bar area and see more items piled everywhere from what looked like another room. By that point we were all confused as to why there was still stuff in our house and our landlord explained that he gave permission for two of the previous tenants to leave their stuff in our house until they could come and get them. The fun isn’t over yet.

Our landlord then decides to say something along the lines of “so yeah, when you guys move in tomorrow…” meaning that me and one of my roommates who planned to be staying overnight in our house which we were lead to believe was ours on April 30^th, were not actually allowed to stay overnight in our house. So we were angry because when we asked for an early move in time we figured that it obviously meant that we were planning on moving all of our belongings and staying overnight on the same day, but no. So my mother and another parent expressed their feelings in a rather obviously angry fashion, but we ended up being able to stay over that night.

Also, within the past week my roommate and I discovered that we have a disgusting and creepy bug problem. Now I have lived in this area of Ontario my whole life and never have I ever seen this bug before, nor do I want to see it again. A few nights ago my roommate came home from work when she goes to go into her room and screams. I rush out thinking she’s hurt or something but no. We are faced with the most disgusting bug I have ever seen in my entire life. A House Centipede. Yes, look it up if you want to see what I am living with but I caution that it is not a nice thing to see. We did eventually kill it after a few freak-outs and almost heart attacks but it was, in the end destroyed.

Now lets move on to last night. Last night I was home alone because my roommate went to her parents’ house and would be staying over there for the night. Now we had someone moving in to stay with the two of us for the rest of the summer today so I was going to tidy up before they came. What I wasn’t expecting was to be interrupted by another disgusting House Centipede while I was home alone. I freaked. I scream and grabbed as many “weapons” as I could while calling my mother all at the same time. I was freaking out because I have being issues with bugs so while I was on the phone with my mother I was crying and flipping out while she was trying to calm me down. So after I got off the phone with my mother I go into killing mode. I grab what I can and prepare to kill this bug but no. It disappears like a Houdini Centipede! Now it is the next day and we still have not found this bug so I will be paranoid and freaked out until we find it.

Anyways that is it for today, I know this was a super long post with a lot of text but I really needed to get this off my chest. If you have any moving stories or bug stories feel free to share them just so I know that I am not alone and have bad luck.

Stress!

Hey everyone,

So today I want to talk about stress and the things that come with having stress. So my life right now is pretty crazy because I finished my first year of university so I’ve been back home since April 12^th which has been really nice since I’ve gotten to spend time with my family and see some friends that I haven’t seen for a couple months. So as nice as it has been being back home for the past month I am actually moving into my own place with four other girls in just two days. As much as I am excited about having my own place, I am also very stressed because I still have yet to find a job and I am waiting to see if I will be getting a line of credit that I applied for.

Now I know it sounds silly to be moving into my own place without having a job to support myself but I signed for the house back in February and figured by this point in time that I would have found a job by now. I was wrong. I have been looking for a job for quite a while now but I started seriously looking in March, and by seriously looking I mean looking online every day to see if any jobs have opened up positions. I did end up having an interview almost a month ago and did get the job but I was unable to accept it due to unavailable transportation, which really sucked but there wasn’t anything I could do about it. So not only am I moving into my house on Wednesday I have an interview that day as well as on Thursday so fingers crossed that I get at least one of those jobs. As I also mentioned, I also applied for a line of credit because I am worried that I will not have to money to financially support myself and I will hear if I get it or not by either this upcoming Friday or early next week. So, I have a lot on my plate and it’s been getting to me more and more as these dates have been getting closer and this stress has taken a toll on me.

The stress that I have been facing is mostly due to financial stress because I do not currently have a job and won’t be able to support myself fully when I move out in a couple days, but I am also experiencing stress because I am officially moving out of my mom’s house and will be off on my own in this big scary world. The stress symptoms that I have been getting in the past week is that my skin has decided to turn on me and breakout which sucks but I am getting it under control ( or at least more than it has been) and that I have been losing sleep. I can deal with my skin with products and whatnot but my loss of sleep has been really effecting me but making me moody, obviously exhausted, and stress more. In the past week on average I get about a maximum of four hours of sleep a night and this isn’t because I’ve had caffeine or eating before bed because I am watching what I’m drinking and eating, It’s all due to stress. There isn't much to do in this situation but wait it out and wait to move in, have my interviews, and wait for the results for the line of credit.  Now I am hoping by the end of this week and into next week my stress will be relieved by hearing some good news but If not I will have to take action in finding some ways to reduce the stress.

Anyways, that is it for today. I know this post is kind of long but I wanted to express how I've been for the past week because it sucks but a lot of people go through this and it’s good to get it out to the public and show that it’s normal but people deal with this kind of thing differently than others. Hopefully you are living a stress free life but if not let me know what you are stressing over, and how you deal with it!
