Oops, I Forgot Pictures Again
Alas, maybe I'll remember to fiddle with them when I'm at home. A lot of stuff going on lately.
Looks like my parents may move out of the current house in favor of a different one in another part of town, and instead of selling this one they'll rent it out to myself, my brother, and a couple friends for a very reasonable rate. That concern has taken up much of my attention when I haven't been muttering under my breath about a throat infection (possibly, anyways).
So, in a way, I won't be living at home any more but I won't have to adjust terribly much either. Win-win for me and a sweet deal for all involved. I am especially pleased with the arrangement as I love the house and it would hurt to see it go to someone else right now. Plus, with the housing market being crap it allows us to hang onto the building until later and everyone involved will be in a much better position down the road to profit.
Its a bit sad to see Cat leaving for parts far and unknown, but I can't complain. When we first met I was seven hundred and fifty miles from home, so who am I to complain? I had my shot at freedom, but she has not. Not like I have any say in the matter, but after being away from home its nice to consolidate myself in one location. My biggest regret is that I cannot corral everyone else in the same place. :P I hope she gets the job and a chance at something different, but more importantly I hope she finds what she is looking for as soon as possible. For myself, I was stuck in many ways pursing a degree away from home, and I gave up a lot to gain that distance. I now have my paper verifying I can take a test sufficiently well and sponge knowledge. Woo, I guess. But at what cost? I could have stayed closer to home and gotten a similar piece of paper without losing so much. I guess, really, what I gained is intangible experiences that I never could have known here, but many of them were negative. Maybe I fear that for her, it will be the same way. I hope not. Likely it is just a selfish desire not to lose another friend to mileage.
Work goes well as it always does. Trying to stay ahead of the curve and keep work from piling up. Am good at that, so not a problem. Still, can't help but feel there is something more important I should be doing than bouncing between a computer here and a computer at home.
