Settling in.

I've moved fully into the house, though I'm not at all unpacked, never mind being close to organized. I'm living out of boxes at the present, which shouldn't really bother me - I'm used to that. Still, I've asked for next Monday off, in the hopes that I can get some things done. I'm finding that I'm really tired of tripping over my bicycle because it's halfway in the kitchen.

Otherwise, life is as normal. I got my promotion and raise, starting this upcoming check, and don't think that's not a relief. It came just in time, seeing that my living expenses seem to be going up like a rocket. I'm told that will settle down over time - I hope so. Despite the fact that I've qualified and sent off for the 8k tax credit for the house, it's still not going to go too far - I need to set up an emergency fund, which is going to take almost half of it. (And so it should - I never know when something's going to go up, heh.)

Still thinking about the housewarming party, though it doesn't look as if a lot of people want to come - big surprise there. We'll see, but I'm not going to spend a fuckload of money if people aren't willing to be there. I can't eat a bushel of crabs by myself, as tempting as that might sound. I'm not really so much upset over the fact that a lot of people can't come, or don't want to come - I'm rather antisocial, so I expected as much. I guess that it just highlights how antisocial I've been and continue to be. It's another thing that the depression has taken from me, another thing amongst countless things.

Besides, with the recent oil spill in Louisiana and all, it might be that I won't be able to afford to hold this shindig, after all. Crabs are already at 250 a bushel and they're predicting one expensive-assed summer. So... time will tell, I suppose.

I'm tired today. Tuesday, y'know. The addicts seemed to be a lot busier than usual over the weekend, must've been a fresh supply of cocaine in the District or something, who knows.

Anyhow, that's the update for now. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to show when I finally get some time to take care of this stuff.

Quick update.

My homework is caught up, for the most part. I have a project due for Information Systems tomorrow, but it's fast and can be taken care of. Everything else is done. I was even able to do one of the missed assignments and turn it in, though I'll suffer a slight late penalty, but it's better than not turning it in at all.

The house thing is proceeding smoothly. All that's left is the home inspection, the appraisal, and then we go straight to closing. Looks like April 30th is going to be the date, after all. God, I'm nervous. But it's over and done with, I can't back out now, so... unless something really fucks up at this point, I'm a homeowner. (And, yes. There will be a party, I think, so bring your friends, bring your neighbors, blah blah. We'll see.)

Life is hectic, but starting to come together. Slowly. As usual, I need patience and time.

But it's starting to look up.
