And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We owe...a staggering amount this year. Due partly to liquidating an investment fund for a down payment on a house we never bought, and partly to my working in a different state than where we live, and Audible not withholding any NYC local taxes.

I adulted so hard yesterday (signed a contract on a house! did taxes! called a mortgage broker on the phone!) that today I feel like I've earned a day of ice cream and video games. Sadly, there are chores and work and kids.

Signed a contract on a house, Jess??

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

you think you can sneak "signed a contract on a house" in there and we won't notice?

We did! Will probably be moving mid or late summer, depending on when the close date is, but after what happened last year I'm skittish about talking about it...still, we did sign the contract so I guess it's actually going to happen this time?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, Jess, that's some big time adulting! I vote you sneak in some ice cream, at least. Also, reveal more about this alleged house.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That is some awesome adulting, Jess! Go you.

I made a good start today--I made it to OSH and Costco by 10:00, but now I seem to have stalled. I should change that.

Very nice, Jess! Cautious congrats!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Lovely house!

I didn't sleep well last night--combo of coughing fits (part of recent bout with the flu I'm recovering from), extra-snoring husband (one of HIS flu after-effects), and mostly TV rage (which you can read about in Boxed Set if you're so inclined). So I spent the morning dozing and reading and am now trying to get myself awake and functional enough to adult despite having had maybe 3 hours of sleep total. Gronk....
