Moving to the PNW seems to be the most talked about thing between Jerbs and me right now.
We talked about the possibility of leaving Flagstaff earlier than September. The point of staying until then was to reduce the amount I'd owe MHC for my coding class when I quit, and now that I'm not quitting, I don't have to worry about that. We talked about leaving at the end of June, which is when our lease is actually up and would make the most sense. But our trip to WA is at the end of May, and I feel like getting back and only having 30 days before we leave would just be a little too much stress. Plus it wouldn't be great financially, we need more time to save up. Then we talked about leaving at the end of July, and we had pretty much agreed that we were going to do that. Then Jerbs remembered that she's going to ComicCon at the end of July so we nixed that idea. I didn't want to have to do all the cleaning and packing mostly alone, and the turn around time of her getting back and us leaving like 3 days later felt like it would be too stressful. So the plan is still to leave at the end of August/beginning of September. I'm actually glad for that, just because it gives us plenty of time to save and get our ducks in a row, and I like the idea of leaving at the end of summer. I'm just weird like that.
I've also been banned, mostly by myself but also by Jerbs, from looking at apartments online for the month of March. I've been getting a little . . . carried away looking at apartments, trying to find somewhere we can live, and having massive anxiety attacks about not being able to find a nice place etc. etc. etc. It's getting to a bad point so I'm forcing myself to just stop for a month and take a step back from it. Jerbs has (rightfully) pointed out that the move is still far enough away that looking at apartment right now is pretty pointless, and that I'm not going to pick anywhere until I see places when we go to WA in May anyway. So that's that. (Full disclosure, I've already failed at my ban twice since I imposed it--yesterday and the day before. I've been good today, though!).
