I have a house…. actually no. *We* now have a house. A thought that hasn’t yet failed to induce a panic attack every morning at about 3 a.m. since I looked into Jeff’s eyes and thought to myself that he just may love the house more than he loves me.

We looked at a LOT of homes. We fell in love with one only to have it swept out from underneath us. Then we looked at about 35 other homes that met our criteria (progressively getting higher in price) before we found IT (at double the price of the first one we fell in love with).

It really is a great house. But the price? Scares the shit out of me. From the front yard it looks normal, I mean sure you have to go through so much security that you start to feel like you are guarded by secret service agents to get to it. But once you can actually stand in the front yard it appears to be a normal 3/2/2/2.

Ok there was going to be a War post, but really there isn’t much to say. War rocked. I finally stopped being a idiot and just camped in the place I belonged. I did what I wanted. I hung out with who I wanted to. I ignored the rest. Life was good. Life was even perfect. Why? Because I passed on all the damn drama.

Sarah and I managed to exceed even our wildest expectations with Girls’ Night Out. I never hit bottom. I never said “fuck this shit I want to go home.” I worked when I wanted to. Played when I didn’t. I was actually sorry to leave to site. I met new people. I bonded with old friends.

There you go. My War update.

Last week? I busted ass trying to find a new house. I had to bust ass because I really needed to have a few picked out by the time Jeff’s plane landed. Normally I would have been incredibly excited to see Jeff except this time I knew the only reason why he was here is so he could take me to the hospital. I had ThatThing removed yesterday. You know ThatThing, the one that looks strangely like a tumor. When I woke up they told me everything went really well, they also promised that they managed to remove ThatThing without removing my entire thumb. However I have yet to actually see (or for that matter feel) my thumb, so I think they may be lying to me.

I had planned on getting my haircut today as a pat on the back for being such a good girl while they cut off my thumb, but as it turns out I’m still having a bit of a problem staying upright for more than say… 5 minutes. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, we have appointments at 4 houses. All of which are stupidly expensive. All of which are still in Hell. Something isn’t right with this plan.

This Week? More with the housing/packing situation. Less with the dreaming about the random man from War while sleeping next to a warm fiancée. Yeah, those are my goals. Mighty lofty of me, huh?

Oh, and maybe finish my laundry. Maybe.
