My vacation

Whoo hoo!! Today is my 1st day of starting my vacation.I am off all this week and don't have to return back to work until next monday.Since I've been employed at Trim Time for 4 yrs now I am allowed to take 1 week paid vacation.I decided to take it now cus we are slow and cus Kevin is gone this weekend.So I am coming out to Chicago this friday to visit Dawn the weekend.I don't have much planned this week.I am getting Susie spayed on tuesday and will be picking her up wednesday morning.I might get together with chad my friend sometime this week to catch a movie or something.I will be doing plenty of sleeping in though for sure.I am almost ready to do my taxes.I have everything I need and am just waiting on a rent certificate from a previous landlord which I should get any day now..hopefully by friday cus Dawn will be helping me.Can't wait till it's all over and I get the money.Plan to put half into savings and rest towards a bill.I am hoping to start looking for an apt within next couple months.I 'm sure I mentioned before that I am staying with a friend{chris} and her family now cus of how bad my living situation was before then.I was thinking about staying until end of summer then I found out my chris's husband's daughter from his 1st marriage is coming out for a visit from June till end of August and bringing a friend.Chris has a daughter from her 1st marriage as well,and all these girls are in their teen yrs.I don't think I could handle putting up with 3 teenagers everynight for the entire summer.I am doing good with my savings,have a little in now.Figured in a couple months I should have enough to find an apt.But the question is where.I am clueless of what side of town I should look whenI start.Do I want to stay on the East side and can I afford it,or should I look on the north side or south side.Maybe something not so far from work.I have no idea.Hopefully I will know soon and I know I have friend's who will help me decide.So all is good in my life now.
