Long day.
I had to drive to Cederhurst which is out near Far Rockaway, to read the board minutes for the apartment we are interested in – there was no other way but to drive there as no subway was near the management office annoyingly.
Then had to drive back and park it in the garage in Astoria and walk up to the subway.
Then had to go to the office, despite how brief, to take care of things there for the limited time I could before I had to leave again to go to my glucose specialist doctor appointment.
So then had to get up to St. Lukes hospital for that appointment.
That actually took way longer than anticipated – I had no idea – thought we would be just talking about things but instead I had to learn all about gestational diabetes as my slight rise in one of my glucose tests I did means now I have to do a whole week of testing with a glucose machine and pricking my blood to get readings and monitor myself as protocol.
So have to get the five or so times I do that into the schedule now too!
So I was supposed to run some errands up near Columbus Circle after I was done but was done later so managed to only do one thing off my “things to do before I leave for the UK” to-do list.
Then my phone died!!! Of course!! So was unable to take care of some work things so had to go home in order to charge the phone to respond and do some work.
And now am sweating buckets at home…..sweating me some buckets from the computer on my lap in my warm non-A/C living room while trying to get things done 😦
I am trying to cool the bedroom down right now so I can go lie down!
I might as well be in a bath right now!

I took Stuart to see the Briarwood apartment today as it seems to be something we (me) are very interested in. I did take that video of the apartment but figured he had to see it with his own eyes. We actually saw two apartments in the building as coincidentally another similar unit came on the market just yesterday – so now we have to really think…
Most of today was about me gathering materials and submitting them to a mortgage broker that we use at work to see what we could be pre-approved for. No idea what they will come up with from us paupers!! Speaking of that – it just made me think about the lottery we played yesterday so must check that ticket!!
So we were asked to check our credit scores online today to give them a sense of what scores Stuart and I have. I’ve never actually checked my credit score before – everything turned out ok though as was waiting for something bad or random on there – glad I paid off my credit cards a few months ago!
BUT…
…I didn’t read the fine print on this website I was on and managed to get signed up for a monthly credit report membership instead of the advertised “free” check. I was rushing as had so much I was also doing at work at the same time and then as it was loading I briefly saw the $17.95 at the bottom in teeny weeny writing…and it was one of those “ah crap” moments 😦
I’m glad I saw that figure in my peripheral vision as wouldn’t have known. As after my free trial I would have been charged almost $18 a month to an account that would not be able to accomodate that!
So then I had to search for how to cancel this sudden membership – which of course could only be done via phone! And on the phone it took forever as she (the salesperson) of course wanted to sell me every possible option – long read out speeches, one after another, of options I could still have if a member. After the fourth courtesy listen I then kept interrupting  with “no thank you” every time she revved up for another speech.
Finally she said “I guess you have your mind made up to cancel everything”
YA THINK????!!!!!!
Sidenote: I wrote some notes about this blog on my blackberry, as I do every day along my day to remember things to 365 blog about later, and I ended up on the wrong subway train at the wrong stop! UGH!!
Lesson today then – don’t take things for granted. Don’t take things at face value!!
365 ONE: day 155…Dreamville to Ville BUT Still a Ville

I had my first subway tip-toes tunnel experience on the E train today as had to go out in Queens to see some apartments. I was expecting a long tunnel but actually it wasn’t so bad at all. So far then the worst is still the bloomin’ R train!
I went out to parts of Queens I had never been to today in order to pick up keys at one location to an apartment and then to see two apartments that were the next best on my list. So today was my first trip to both Forest Hills and Briarwood! A little exploring 🙂
First stop was Forest Hills to get the keys from a realty office. I got off the subway and entered….DREAMVILLE!! It was amazing!! It was 20 minutes from midtown Manhattan and there I was suddenly walking down green grass paths with countryside road signs and beautiful rows of chalets down the roads! It was dream house after dream house! I’ve never seen anything like it!
I took two photos of two houses but only one would upload so here is a little something of what I am talking about…
This photo doesn’t do it justice! It was incredible!!!!
I have to start playing the lottery as this is truly DREAMVILLE!!
So after a trip down DREAMVILLE to get the keys I had to go out to Briarwood, further out in Queens, to see the two apartments, and it was a little sad after coming from amazing greenery…I got off the subway and was a little disappointed….certainly not DREAMVILLE 😦
BUT…then saw an apartment that was kind of exactly what I have been looking for or had more of what I am looking for at a cheaper rate – which realistically I need to consider as this whole upfront cash downpayment thing is going to be the death of me! AND…I kind of like it actually….more than like really…
I had to take a video of the apartment for Stuart to see as he couldn’t make it – so you can see the upload of it on my other blog 🙂
So now need to think. Really think!
365 ONE: day 79…walking overload!

Today was a walking overload!
It wasn’t supposed to be actually but it turned out to be. Oy-Vey!
60th Street and Lexington Avenue – to – Grand Central office
25 Columbus Circle – to – Grand Central Office
Bedford Avenue subway – t0Â – Northside Piers apartment
Northside Piers apartment – to- Bedford Avenue subway
And finally home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had three appointments all over and the first I treated as my main cardio for the day. Then it made sense to walk from Columbus Circle back to the office again as there really is no good way to get there that’s faster than walking annoyingly, unless you take a cab of course, but I wasn’t going to do that. So added that to my cardio to make it super full. And then realized I had to go see this apartment to make sure all was in order from the last tenant leaving for the new tenant coming in two days, and there is no way but to walk to the pier from the subway and back out there.
Exhausted! My feet and back hurt 😦
On my feet way too much with all the walking, stairs, subway, office packing, and the excess of tunnels today going into Brooklyn and into Queens. Boo!
I also left my apartment in a hurry this morning and mis-judged how cold it was outside! So since I was walking everywhere I froze and I had to jump into a cheap store and buy another layer! Yup, that’s when the shop Strawberry comes in handy 🙂
I ended up buying a longish blue light jacket! In a size XL! Yup, it was my first pregnancy-in-mind purchase!!! I got the XL for room for growth!
CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
That freaked me out a little bit, not going to lie!
A funny thing happened though on the L train going into Brooklyn. It was packed, the kind where your head is on someone’s shoulder, you are under an arm pit, and your bag is in front of you as there is no other place for it. Well, I was also against this guy and when I stood on my tip-toes for the tunnel, my bum was exactly smooshed against his bum! Which was hilarious as I could feel it in line exactly!!! As soon as the train doors opened I flew out to avoid any confrontation with the bum man 🙂
