Whups!

Apologies for the lack of update yesterday. To be completely honest, I spent most of the day feeling kinda depressed; no energy, mental or physical, and just a sense of lacking something.

I won't get into the whole background now, but I will say that I've dealt with depression and anxiety for a long time now. It had lessened considerably over the past month or so, the time period where we decided to move and acted on that decision. For a month I was packing, planning, organizing, and putting all my thought and energy into the biggest thing I had ever done, a major life change that took a lot of courage and strength. Even after we landed, I was busy unpacking, building, organizing, shopping, and otherwise working to make this place a home.

As of last week, however, we hit a point where we had...nothing else to do. We're waiting to hear back from Starbucks about whether or not we have jobs, and we're in a holding pattern until that phone call. We can't buy anything more for the house, we can't start applying elsewhere yet, we can't really do anything except wait...and probably call today to check in.

The past two days have basically been a vacation of not really doing anything productive, mostly on purpose. As I already mentioned, I had basically no energy all day, and by the time I did, it was due to activities that distracted from blogging--talking, hanging out, getting dinner, watching TV, etc.

Today will hopefully be a bit more productive, and I will have something to write about tonight or tomorrow. I'm hoping to get money communication problems sorted out: credit card charges haven't processed yet, a payment got reversed because the bank didn't respond*, we haven't gotten our ATM cards or checks yet, etc etc. Wish me luck!

*The payment isn't due until next week, so it's not a Problem, but ARGH.

Edit: Turns out I put in an incorrect account number, which is why it bounced back. Two phone calls and a $39 Moron fee later, it's all fixed. My credit card is essentially useless for the next two days, but after that it's all back to normal. Yay. :)
