The Whirlwind Continues

So, things have been absolute madness here in the past few weeks. I mentioned a few weeks ago when I posted about making new screens for my apartment windows that maybe I was practicing for future homeownership. Little did I know that I would soon after that find out that my apartment building is "going condo." And, I REALLY didn't know that what I thought of as probably-casual house-hunting would turn into me buying a house on which I am scheduled to close May 20. Wow. I'm really glad I've gone for it, but who knew how many random details, etc. were involved in buying a house. Exhausting. Add driving 20 hours RT to a conference and finishing semester grades to the mix and you've got one exhausted randomgirl. Though I literally feel like a new person now that grading is done, I'm taking today off to make phone calls and just rest a bit. Tomorrow, getting started on the packing.

Despite my fears about homeownership, I'm really excited about this. I love the house - it was built in 1918 and has a great porch and lovely large rooms on the main floor (living, dining, eat-in kitchen, and sun room that will be my study). I'm having visions of the great parties I'll throw and all the work I'll get done sitting in that little sun room and on the porch. Happy thoughts. As is the thought of finally getting to have a pet. I know that there's a kitty out there who wants to come home with me. :)
