I couldn’t sleep at all last night. . .

I couldn’t sleep at all last night. . .

And boy, I love my ellipses!

We’re heading off today to look for a new house.  I think in the end it may be a war between practicality and aesthetics.  The largest house is the ugliest.  The one I like best needs a new kitchen and another bathroom.  There are two others that are pretty, one has no basement, the other has no backyard (well, it does, but it’s completely filled with deck and pool.)

I dreamed, when I did sleep, of houses, of things representing disappointment and settling for less.  I am very excited and positive about the whole moving thing during waking hours, but there’s still, obviously, underlying anxiety.  I just can’t wait for it to be over and done with.

Quoted in the paper this morning:  “This is one of the weakest, most baseless indictments in American history.”  Funny, the first thing that comes to my mind as that sounds more like Whitewater.  Tom is calling his accuser a fanatic.  Let’s see how that works for him.

OK, so I get my resolve up to go back to WW.  Shower, dress, hit the road, and it’s not there anymore!  Well, the building is there, but the meetings aren’t.  They’re in a new place, about the same distance away, but in a different direction.  And I can’t make any of their meetings until Tuesday.  What to do, what to do. . .

I did find out something cool, though – once you have an account, you can sign up online for the e-tools, and it includes a new tracking program for your PDA.  I think that’s wonderful, and I want to go for it, but I need to sign up first.  I have to wait.  That makes me want a snack.  Heh.
