Not much happening there.. I have yet to set my next goals. Ugh. I should just throw them all down and prioritize them later but I don't know what things will cost. I suppose a guess is better than nothing, right?

I closed out the apartment. Turned in the keys and the walk thru went well. Manager said apartment was in move in condition and my cleaning job was great. (Side note - that self-cleaning feature on the oven was awesome!) I am eagerly anticipating the return of my security deposit. It should cover the cost of a new member in my family (a dog) if I ever find one :)

I'm adjusting to my new neighborhood but there is a lot of movement. Right after I moved in, the house two doors down was listed (bank owned). The price was awesome and the for-sale sign is no longer there. Another house a couple doors down has been vacated. I wonder if perhaps that is a rental, due to the timing and the fact that there is no for-sale sign. Or maybe they will do some sprucing up before listing if they owned it..?

In other news, I'm still adjusting to the different bills. It will help when I'm down to one set. I think I still have overlapping utilities and phone bill for one more month. After that we can see how things go and what I have left to save/spend on a regular basis. I'm also really curious to see what the utility bill for a house looks like. I got an average before moving in but since the house was vacant for most of the period that was included in the average, I imagine it is much understated. I'm slightly concerned that the dehumidifier runs almost constantly when it rains. I don't see any water about but the humid air must be coming from somewhere? Maybe I'm being a doofus, this isn't my strong area..haha. Thankfully it's been a very cool July so light on the air conditioning. I still have no idea what a water bill and garbage bill look like.

By my calculations I have 6-10 weeks before my tax credit refund thing comes.
