I am a houseowner! Effective the first week of January. Halfway moved in. Half of my stuff is still missing. I got the internet and TV set up today. Hooray for Uverse! Still no couch, so I have to watch TV and knit on the floor. There are many things I've put off buying until I "bought a house." Now that I have one, I'm almost afraid to buy them. It feels so weird shopping for furniture.
Been looking up Roombas tonight. I've wanted one forever. Now I might actually get one. The thought makes me nervous for some reason.
Matthew said I am officially an adult now. Job, house, cat. There are no more excuses.
It's a lovely house. I should stop procrastinating on cleaning up my closet. Still gotta pull my clothes out of bags in the morning. Heh. Working at the store full time has also involved some getting used to. Mom almost ripped open an old wound tonight, but dad managed to steer her away from the topic and they left before any of the ugly stuff came out. I just have to breath, keep calm, and remember the past is the past. There is no place for it in the present. There are a lot of fun things to do at the store. A barcode scanner is heavily involved with this fun. It is exciting to scan and hear the beep! Right now the store is a giant seek-and-find.
Hoping 2013 brings new and wonderful professional and social changes. There is one thing I almost desperately hope will happen this year. A dream I can't shake. It's terrifying. Even with the future shining blindingly bright, I have this sinking feeling that I will meet the end of the year with a dull, numbing, disappointment and the vicious cycle will start again in 2014. I will allow my emotions to run high for January, but I'll turn them down in February.
One more trip this weekend and I'll be 100% moved in.
