This is me, gasping for air and a moment to sit down and put in some much needed time at the computer. So much is happening, between my hair falling out from stress.. and me pulling at it... That I've had barely a moment to sit down and think. Much less shave my legs, which I attempted to do with the spare toothbrush in the shower this morning.
So here goes.. Week Day Update with me.
Last Friday, we decided that we wanted to buy a home. By Wednesday we had a mortgage, Friday we put in an offer. (My advice to first time buyers? Offer low.. I don't know what happened, but I offered 10 thousand dollars less.. and they took it!) It took me and B. by storm.. but I think it's the right thing to do. We're so excited! We'll know by the 29th if everything has gone through. If it hasn't.. well, we've decided to become owners, and not much can stop us now.. *laugh* I never thought that I would read any sort of legal agreement, become familiar with the term "lien" or need a lawyer before I was at least 30, divorced, and angry. Who knew that at 20, not divorced, destitute but not angry that I would learn all this? Not me. Certainly not on Thursday two weeks ago.
If it wasn't enough for us to delve into the real estate market, we have to do it with a time constraint. We're leaving for India Oct. 1st to visit my lovely family. We leave our five degree weather for the 38 degree weather in Delhi. So we've been frantically packing, arranging, making lists.. making lists of the lists that we're losing, arranging rides to and from the airport.. And attempting (without much success) to get inoculated against Hepatitis A. And while it's rare that people get it in North America (other than Pamela Anderson..) apparently it's added to the water like fluoride over there. Fluoride that nobody knows about.. So, in between trying to buy a home ( a delightful, lofty, lovely, halfway beautiful home) we're also trying to prepare for our little jaunt around the world.
Thus the reason I tried to shave my legs with the toothbrush.
