alicevangeline1. new med is ok. I think it's helping with anxiety/despresh and helping a LITTLE with adhd. My energy is weird. I want to stay up later doing things but I also am still crashing at 9 anyway so, whatever. I miss not NEEDING coffee. Trying to do some stuff with adjusting caffeinie and taking vitamin D.
2. Today i have to do things like:
- pick up M from school
- take T back to school after a long weekend (hooray! Ty Time)
- but first go to cvs and get his refills
- Straighten Up continued
3. I told realtor, house is as neat as we can get it for pix & showings.. Dan's gong to obsess and overdo it, and also he's not feeling well today (hooray chronic undiagnosed problem). I hope I can help more with little bits and pieces tonight or like, early tomorrow, but see above.
4. Am getting excited about new house. There is an increasing level of certainty that it'll all work out, I cautioned M that there is a chance (a small one) that it might not work out. (Not anything specific, just - things happen). However, I feel much more confident about the Contingent On Financing piece. I was worried that if our house doesn't sell immediately (or if there's a contingent offer on ours) that the seller would frown on an extension. Realtor Anka points out that we can ask to absorb the mortgage/bills if needed to get the extension and that makes me calmer, like, there's no reason an extension wouldn't work.
5. However, Realtor Katie also notes that it's a sellers' market, and it's hard to find mid-range houses rn like this one. So I feel hopeful it'll go quick, anyway. It's a good house.
6. One of my 'it IS a good house! it's so pretty! why are we leaving, again' answers is that it truly is too big for us right now - we're not using it all. And I don't want to have a house with a whole unused wing. Can't keep up with all the gardening either - it's epic, but it could use someone with more time or money. Or more people. ALSO, Dan is getting increasingly grumpy about dogs barking for extended periods, chainsaws and tractors running all day. I don't know if the new neighborhood will be any les noisy, but it's more suburban. (Word is that some law enforcement lives in the new neighborhood, but I'm ok with that because of the BLM and pride flags in the neighborhood and lack of other gross flags.)
7. a classic Me thing to do: ppl on threads were talking about making friends. I set a date and time for a meetup but didn't go. (I mean for real I couldn't - but also they're adults and didn't need me to DO Anything)
8. A silly thing I'm looking forward to - my commute currently, I have to drive past the cow farm. It smells. Sometimes it's more manurey, sometimes it's more hay + cow, but it smells. I guess I'm a little bit bougie because won't miss that. I mean, you can't even SEE them!
Enough for now!
