Calgon, take me away

So the formal offer came in from Florida and it's pretty much everything Jen wanted. My prediction is that she will be out of Massachusetts in a month's time. Sucks on many levels, but I'm especially dreading finishing all of Dad's house stuff by myself.

She has to make her official decision tomorrow and let them know. If she accepts and goes, there's really no need for me to keep that infertility appointment - I wouldn't want to go through that whole arduous and emotional process alone. I've been waiting so long for this, for the possibility of this, it's just... augh.

Having to afford a second apartment down in Florida would mean there'd be no money for airfare/visits.

So far, 2006's not looking so hot, either.

We've looked, and we've estimated. Her new salary would offer enough cash to pay for another apartment but probably not much else (since we don't really have anything ever left over now).

Driving would be a cheaper opportunity, but not one that's terribly feasible. She'd be starting a new job and therefore unlikely to be able to take much time off, and I don't get a lot of opportunities to take time off with my job (a long weekend here and there, sure, but to take a week I need to spend the previous several weeks stacking my productivity), especially if I'm doing this training class and needing my weekends to keep going to Dad's house.

Honestly, if there was an easier way we'd probably find it, but right now I just don't see any. I could barrel down to Florida in a car, but a) I'd spend the whole weekend driving, b) I'd have to put off obligations to my dad's house, and c) I'm not terribly comfortable driving 18-24 hours by myself.
