All of the details were finalized yesterday for Josie's change in jobs from Phoenix Flower Shops to Cactus Flower Florists. She set her final day at Phoenix Flower Shops for Friday, November 17, and will begin work at her new job on Monday, November 19. Her first few days will be at the Glendale store located at 67th Ave and Rte 101. It is expected that, at least starting out, she will also spend some time working at the Cave Creek store. The distance to each location is much better than her driving to the downtown location a couple days a week which she is now doing. She will also make more money on her new job and will be appreciated much more than before as Cactus Flower already knows her capabilities and will treat her more professionally. She is, naturally, hoping that she made the right decision. I am almost certain she did.
That also means that we will most likely change the area where we will seek housing. Our goal is still the same for the requirements and we will be searching for something that makes it easy for Josie to commute. It will be interesting to see what is available using the criteria we have established. We should begin seeing candidates any day now. Of course, anything close to Cave Creek and Carefree will be too expensive for our budget, but somewhere, not too far away, there may be a hidden gem that we can afford.
We received our first electric bill since we arrived back in AZ. With one week out for our trip to Chicago, the bill was $118.25, which may not be so bad. It was a very warm month and we ran the A/C a lot while we were home. It shouldn't get any worse than that from here on out as we aren't using the A/C at all right now.
Today should be a business as usual day with no significant events scheduled...
