Alright folks, it seems after discussing it with Mom and the roomie now, Mom and I are still rushing to try and get the money to get out, but now we have a little more time, up until midFebruary. Roomie sounds like she wants to stay at the hotel another few months so we'll be handing the room off to her. Other problem is that we have the storage fees from our storages (3 of them due to a series of shenanigans. We really only need one of them but blame Uhaul literally for us having 2 more than needed) and we need to pay those along the rent here. Uhauls already done something this month to dig me further into the hole, so thank you, you piece of shit company. We'll be seeing you soon.

While we owe the money, I still have time to get the cash together for the apartment. The other 2 units are flexible and last they told us they can hold out till mom's next payday to get another piece of the payments. We're trying to condense them all, but one is back in Illinois and we only NOW just got some folks to pick up the few things left there. Just some boxes of literally only my stuff (since I made sure all of mom's things got here) and stuff. After that, one 70 dollar bill goes bye bye. And after we get rid of the uhaul after we take care of the problem they just did, there's another 90-100 dollar a month bill gone. And once we get into a place, the last storage can go too. Mom may actually keep that one a bit longer due to needing storage for a potential side thing to help us get some money for the Arizona move, which is still a thing. If she doesn't go through with it, in the end we'll save around 200ish bucks a month, which is good.

Still hunting for a job that won't have me getting one of my attacks on the floor. As soon as we get out of here, I know I'm guaranteed a job here at the hotel the moment a space is open. Trust me, I'd try to get hired on now, but you can't live and work here, which sucks because literally my entire paycheck from working here would be going into paying for here. They wouldn't be losing much in money to me orz

But yush, instead of 2 weeks, its more like 3 weeks for me to get about 600-700 dollars, which is easier, but thanks to deviantart needing 2 weeks to clear point purchases, it's still gunna be a rush for the next 2 weeks to try and get all point purchases done so they can clear in time. I'm also working on other ways to save us money that first month, since money's gunna be tight that first month. Once second month comes, we'll get to work on paying everyone back that we owe orz. I'm getting the math done to figure out how we cant get the bills, save for Arizona, and pay everyone back efficiently every month. With eBay and everything, which may actually end up being my job, we'll be able to swing hopefully paying off at least 3 people by the end of summer this year if we're lucky. I know once we get to the storages, we'll have access to A LOT of ebay stuff we can sell, and their value in total (from what I've recent checked from our inventory logs of the stuff) just enough to hopefully mostly everyone back.

We may live in Missouri for two years, I'm making sure the move to Arizona doesn't happen until we get $10k in savings to do it with, until Mom's credit is better (and mine exists), and our personal problems get better. I'm tired of the bs in my life, next time we're going in prepared or not at all. $10k will be safe for us to live on a few months in a hotel if need be, pay for a truck and good storage, or hopefully we find an apartment and have enough for it if we're really lucky. We may splurge and if we do everything right, we can get movers to move the boxes and junk instead of doing it ourselves. The last move was hard on us physically due to that, and in the end it may end up being cheaper. We just have to plan and save properly, and do everything right this time. That also includes getting mom and I a week off to go and find and get an apartment before we move out there. 

aaaaand rambling, sorry.
