So the trip was long but not nearly as long as it could have been thanks to having my lovely Myka by my side. The cats did a kitty choir here and there, but overall they were calm. Aestyn hated being in the trunk. Myka helped me drive both Monday and Wednesday, and Tuesday we rested in Georgia with her family. It was nice to take that day to rest. The next wasn’t as long. Finally arrived, reviewed the lease, signed it, and got to Erin’s and my new place! The place was still being cleaned because the tenants just moved out the day before. So we set the cats inside and went to the beach with Aestyn and Myka.
We took off our shoes and walked along the beach. Poor Aestyn. You would think she would be all kinds of crazy after being in the car for 9 hours, but I think she was so confused about what was going on, she sorta just stayed by my side and sat beside us when we settled on the beach to watch the ocean. Then we went and had dinner at a café as the newly shampooed carpets dried. By the time we got back it was dry for the most part, and we let the cats out. I was surprised to see they didn’t hide long in the bed room. They were quick to explore. I think they are getting used to moving.
On Thursday we mostly just went shopping for the apartment, came back to road construction blocking the apartment but were able to slip into the side of the apartment complex. We chilled until the construction passed and unpacked what we got while shopping. Later when it cleared out we went to Win Dixie and got some dinner. Came back and crashed early because Myka’s flight left at 6am. I took her at 4:30, came back, napped, then went out before construction started again.
I first went and got some breakfast before going to UPS to check on my shipping and print resumes, but ended up at Office Depot because the UPS stores printer didn’t like me. Went and applied to the China Grill at the Hilton first. Won’t hear back till tomorrow at the earliest because the dinner manager wasn’t in yet. Then I went to the Pelican Grand Beach Hotel and applied as a server. Got an interview after filling out the application. She said I should hear back Tuesday if I am to get a second interview. Next I went to the Cheesecake Factory on Los Olas. Got an interview immediately there as well and she said if I am chosen for a second interview I would hear back Monday. I also sent in a resume for a sale position having something to do with dogs. I got a call back today and have an interview for that on Monday. More job hunting tomorrow!
About the apartment for those curious! It a small complex with only 8 units. There is one assigned spot and a few guest parking spots. We are on the first floor but have no one above us, and a neighbor on one side. We got a corner unit. There are a coin washer and dryer and a back yard for Aestyn. The apartment has awesomely comfortable beds (no bed bugs) with beautiful linens, dressers and closets, lamps, and end tables. The kitchen and dining room have all we need with refrigerator, microwave, dining room table and chairs. The living room has a couch, coffee table, side tables, a TV and stand, and a double desk with two chairs. It’s very roomy and there is a short bar connected to the kitchen with bar stools. Fully carpeted save the laminated floor in the bathroom and kitchen.
