Note to Self: Don’t Stress, Create Solutions.

Holy shit The weather in Oklahoma is no joke. Driving was more stressful today because of the navigation, toll roads, intense rain storms, and car accidents. I had a shorter drive today and ended up in St. Louis, Missouri. 

Humidity was an interesting experience when I was loading the car. I developed a quick unload/load method depending on the kind of luggage cart at the hotel. Leviticus had a few meltdowns because of the traffic. I’ve had to become a bit of an acrobat from the front seat and the way the carrier/litter box are located. My knees are bruised and incredible sore. Doing this move in your late thirties is no joke. I feel so old right now. I could use a deep tissue massage after all this is over.

Sadly, my application was denied. I wasn’t as emotional about it today since I was able to have some rest. They said it was because of the amount of credit I have been given vs the credit I have a balance of is high. It had nothing to do with late payments. It’s frustrating. I have $2900 of credit card debt. Most of that was used when I couldn’t afford household essentials, bills, or food.  This job will provide me with financial stability, but it’s just getting through this first transition.

I sat down and ended up paying towards some of that balance to hopefully get my percentage lowered and get towards a 600 credit score. 

I’m staying at the Hilton Garden Inn near the airport here in St. Louis and it’s nice. The bed frame looks like it could have been from Motel 6, but overall it’s a decent location. I was able to do a load of laundry and cleaned some cat casualties from the first day. I needed to print out some forms but its business center turned into some Minecraft/YouTube gaming center. 

Tomorrow is going to be a day. I don't know where I am going to live. I reserved a hotel near work until the 14th of August using points so if I DO find an apartment tomorrow, I only lose points if anything. 

My knees are on the ground and I’ve been praying so much. I have faith. I know how good God is. If it is meant to be, it will happen.
