(no subject)
I have to say yesterday was as near to a perfect day as I can imagine. I got to read and drink tea as it rained (one of my all time favorite things to do) I got house stuff done, I fooled around on the computer for a bit (stupid facebook time eating games) I researched the cost of flights to the Isle for my Dad's wedding and I called a few loose business ends and tied them up.
I went and signed for my LOC. And the sense of relief that school is now covered is immense. (Not to mention that old looming loan is also covered)My banker recommended that I now apply for a (secured) credit card to further build up my credit, and I think I will. But I will leave it in the freezer or with Avery so that I don't give into my monthly "random buy something online/from the mall" craze.
When we got home my good day got even better. I have to say that these last 5 years, first of all don't seem like 5 years, and secondly have been the happiest of my life, bar none.
I also have a vibrant hope for the future and I pour my thoughts and hopes there. Every year since about 2000 I have wanted to own a house. In the past year I have heard the clamouring get louder, and with good reason. The reality grows stronger all the time. It's exciting and scary to think that this time next year we could be owners of a house ( I have a favorite, but it likely won't be on the market by then http://www.mls.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=7987997 Lots of work to be sure, but entirely worth it!! Still I can hope can't I? I really think they are asking too much for a fixer upper and it's right next to the worst area in town. Next to though not actually in it, the actual area is quite charming.)
So now that I have one piece in the chain of events done, I firmly believe the rest will follow, ad I look forward to it
