I have been such a ball of emotion this past week. There was the first wave of OMG We are buying a house! Which got dashed by a phone call friday. We are on a path to still do it just a week after our initial plan and we lose a 3 day weekend to clean and paint and move. Also there ends up being a bit of a difference in our month payment. Not much but still. On the brightside we won't have to pay MD 5k whenever we sell/refinance/payoff the house.

Also there has been chaos erupting at my alma mater. I am normally quite happy to say where I earned my degree, even if it is a tiny Catholic liberal arts school. But the new president has been making bad choices. Getting rid of retirees health benefits, trying to cut students in the first month to boost retention rates and the big on is firing amazing members of the faculty. Including a tenured professor and the faculty advisor of the student newspaper. I actually had (if my memory is correct) both of these gentlemen for classes and they both cares about the community and the students.

I have been trying to collect my thoughts enough to write a message of support for them and voice my frustration and outrage to those that need to hear it. However I am having a hard time getting my emotions into words. But I am having them, just trying to process.
