So I haven't posted anything since May. Need to rectify that ( Read more... )

I've had a couple of thoughts go through my head over the last couple of days. The one that's prominent in my mind is home buying. I know I went over this a few years back, but some new thoughts came up in my head that I really wanted to address about it. First of all, I'm pretty sure I am ready for home ownership right now (I haven't checked ( Read more... )

Yesterday was quite productive. Found out my brother's moving to Topeka, Kansas (technically he's been there for a while but he now has his own place so he came yesterday to get the rest of his stuff) so at the request of my dad, I went by to see him off. After that, I decided to take a trip down to Columbia, Illinois to talk to someone at the ( Read more... )

I've been doing a lot of thinking as of late about my living situation. Lately, I've been tooling around the Internet looking at real estate stuff...well, it's more like homes for sale. Seems like a lot of houses are fairly cheap enough these days that it would be much cheaper for me to buy a house than to keep on renting apartments (I'm sure ( Read more... )

Lately I've been tooling through my LJ looking at old entries I've made, tagging and retagging a lot of them to make my journal more accessible, as well as removing some of the more idiotic entries I've made.

Some not so good news is they're taking away our weekends for the upcoming holiday, which irritates me to some extent because I usually need at least one good weekend off to unwind. But at least I'll have a little more ( Read more... )

Gah, my head's killing me (if you couldn't tell by the icon) and I should be asleep right now, but alas, I can't sleep. I don't know what keeps me up during this time of day and allows me to sleep again around 15:00 or so. I have the weirdest sleep schedule for one who works overnight. Better start using the sleep aids after work again ( Read more... )

Last night's storms kept me awake for most of the night. The thunder was crackling so loud it brought me out of my sleeping trance, which is hard for anything to do for me. At one point, I almost gave up on sleep and decided to play a video game until I felt I was able to sleep. Luckily, I decided against it. Sometimes, I'd never get to sleep ( Read more... )
