Stress Stress Stress
Yeah, we found a house. Yeah, we had an offer accepted. All I'm gonna say is that home inspections are about the most stress-inducing thing I've ever gone through in my entire life. I thought buying a car was scary. Heh! I hadn't seen anything yet. We've got a couple of issues to figure out and negotiate with the seller (um, mold, anyone?) and having no experience with this stuff, we're having to scramble to learn about all this stuff as we go along. It seems that well, older homes have issues. We'll keep you posted and hopefully there will be good news by early next week.
The only other thing I can think to talk about, with the few brain circuits not entirely devoted to house stress, is my continued bizarre antidepressant-induced dreams. I'm looking forward to getting off the meds because some mornings I wake up feeling like I've been running all night, not rested at all. One recurring dream is that I'm back in school, and for some reason completely neglecting my history classes. Always history. I'm behind on the readings, have skipped class too many times, and feel completely overwhelmed. And now, in addition to flunking history classes, I'm usually dealing with some sort of home repairs. I mean, I understand the general sentiment of these dreams-- feeling overwhelmed. That's not rocket science. But why history class? I find it very odd.

"It seems that well, older homes have issues." Boy, that's the understatement of the year.
