Mini Vacation Summary and Self Reflect (tw)

We got to visit some places for an idea of where we wanna live when we move. Most places will be updated on what is available for March after January because they require a 60 day 2 month notice before people decide to move. 

We found our first option which is a nice apartment ironically right by the old apartment complex we used to live at before we moved. And our second option (if we find one) will be a small house at the beach that doesn't go for a bad amount! Even a 2 bedroom is really decently priced for the location so it's good to know for us. I hope we can find an opening to reserve for when we wanna move with no hassle.

The next step is for me to soon bring up the idea of doing my job remotely entirely. I know they will be missing me in the office but everything I do can be done at home too I don't need an office space. The only thing I would need to get is invest in a printer but that's about it. 

I really hope they can accommodate me because it would be super helpful if I could keep my job even at a bit of lesser pay when we move, we would be able to do a lot more much faster then. Not that I mind job hunting or working in a physical location but it would be so nice to work at home. 

I haven't said a word about moving to my co-workers because I know they will miss me and be sad. Yes, I know I have to tell them eventually, but I also want a bit more time really making a good impression on them so I have a better chance of bringing up the idea of remote work. (Especially to my boss)

When we were home hunting, the first place I actually wanted to check was the old apartments where I used to live with my family. I don't know why but I was super drawn to the idea of maybe moving there if the price is right. And it is weird because I grew up in a very toxic family under my parents, especially my mom. Though my dad and I are on much better terms now and he has gotten better, before during the time we lived together it was a different story. 

The apartment complex itself was never bad and I did like living in the area because it is right by the beach and I used to walk up and down the whole mile just to check out the mom and pop shops. The area has different parts that are meant to attract tourists, small business areas that are really nice to walk down. They even hold events in these areas like concerts and art walks. The public library is just a few blocks down and the library even holds a small comic con too. And my highschool was right next to us so it was really an ideal location. 

The problem of course was I was stuck in that toxic environment and when we went to see it I rushed to see the old apartments we used to live at. (we lived at 2 in the total of like 7 years we lived there) And it was so surreal being back there again.  :(⁄ ⁄ᵒ̶̶̷́⁄⚰⁄ᵒ̶̶̷̀⁄ ⁄):

I had to act like I had never been there before and I even hid my last name from them when they asked. (My parents also kind of owe them money too so of course I don't want them to know I am associated with them) And pretending like I didn't know where everything is was SO hard lol. The complex is pretty much the same but there are some renovations getting done to the office, apartments and the outside of the buildings being repainted. But everything is still pretty much the exact same as I remembered. 

The apartment isn't too badly priced but it is a little stretching our budget which is sad. When we got there I just felt the sudden surge that if we could I would like to live there again. Because I could make new memories over the bad ones in a place that I did like living in. In a therapeutic type of way. I feel like it would be nice. Even more ironically if we did end up in the same unit lol. But I don't think that will happen, it isn't very budget friendly for us right now. Ah well. I can dream.
