Life update
Currently: Life is good. ^_^
Most of the construction at my house is done - the only thing really left is the installation of a shelving system where my studio is going to be. Thanks to maryling, even some of that is completed. Other than that, just very few minor things to be done in the kitchen and around the house.
I got Mom's new computer up and running. Damn I'm jealous! Yeah, it's silly to say that since I was the one who picked it out for her, but seriously, I tried to get my Mom to take my old comp and let me have hers. Sadly, she didn't go for it. :( Her computer is SUPER quiet - as in I'm sitting like a foot from it, and I cannot hear any noise coming from it.
Cable internet is sexy. It's even sexier now that my mom's computer has it.
What's also sexy? Backing up your data. I finally got around to backing stuff up and realized I hadn't backed anything up in a LONG time. Now that's all fixed - especially all the pictures I had from college on my comp. They are three different harddrives. Blackmail secured ;)
I'm glad that handlewithcare also shares my view about living at home. For me, right now, it's the best setup - and I don't see a better setup coming around the bend anytime soon. Actually if I have my way, the way life is going right now will end up being perfect for my plans. At least now I don't feel as much of a dork when everyone asks, "When are you going to move out?!" It gives me piece of mind that someone else also doesn't want to move out. Considering Mom is allowing me to have a huge chunk of space to make up a studio with, this only makes me not want to move more. You can't even imagine the happiness and excitement I feel when I think of how close I am to having a separate space for all my craft supplies - a space that will be organized to my crazy specifications. But besides that, after all bumps we had at the beginning, we've finally settled into a living arrangement that agrees with both of us. I'm a lot closer to her than I was before and during college. I can keep an eye on her and her crazy schemes, and it gives me piece of mind to know that someone is around to take care of her. So while I still have pangs of "want own place" it's not nearing as bad as when i got back from college.
And wow that last part went to rambling ...
