Good luck on the house bid, sarameg!
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

I am very predictable.
When I signed the final paperwork to go to college in NC, as soon as it went into the mailbox, I panicked and it was physically difficult not to crawl into the box and retrieve it.
After I bought my first car, there was a meltdown driving it home after swapping check for keys in which I was sure it would die before I got there.
When I flew to Prague, I had a mini-panic-attack thingy halfway over the Atlantic. What am I DOING? Why did I think I could ever do this? I must be insane. What if this is a horrible mistake? OMG.
When I took the first job here, I was convinced they would hate me and I'd made a horrible mistake and I'd end up homeless and jobless in a city I knew little about. With the second, OMG change was HARD, do I really want to do this? Am I crazy?
You can guess where I am at now.
And holy shit, I need to start packing. If, IF IF this works out, we're talking a month.

Whoot! Good luck, sara! See if you can channel all that vibration energy into heating up your coffee or something.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Vibing house-ma your way, Sara. One thing I have learned is that there are ALWAYS glitches, so be prepared. A paper isn't signed correctly or a title search takes extra long or some other technical thingy is off. Almost everyone I know who has bought a house has had the closing either with added complications or had it delayed. There is a lot of paperwork to do and the fact that there are mistakes is part of the process. If you expect it to happen, it won't make you feel like it's the end of the world when it does.

Yes, this. Our closing was rescheduled three or four times due to paperwork snags.
