starts & stops...
So. We may be buying a cabin on 10 acres up North... I say may as I'm trying not to get my hopes up and the last one we looked at fell thru at the last minute and it all stank to high heaven of something along the lines of a realtor conspiracy theory... like maybe she'd never seen the property we asked her to show us & when she did, thought it was such a great buy that she had to have it for herself? Yeah, something like that. Anyway, so we kept looking & found an even nicer property with a cabin that has a better layout (but a more horrible outhouse, which will need to be fixed...) but anyway... so yeah. We should find out today if our counter offer was accepted. We're going in on it with friends of ours or we wouldn't be able to afford it. We've talked about it for awhile. Basically, our payment will be around $50/month and we spend 3 times that in one weekend of campground fees--just one weekend and we like to camp a lot so... It's only 1 1/2 hours away. Cheap vacation, basically. & I've talked about it enough already. Jinx & all that.

I'm off to a good start on my 2 classes this term. Yeah, two at once. It's already feeling a little nutty even if I keep telling myself it's "do-able." & I think it is--but trying to transition from studying geography to studying statistics to being "mom" & library worker person... I got a head start on things this weekend to try to take some of the heat off and yeah, it's "ok." So long as I do NOT NOT NOT look ahead in my stats book. I see all these freaky symbols that my mind vaguely recognizes and once I read the explanation it's all easy peasy but all I'm doing by skimming ahead there is freaking myself out unecessarily. One step at a time back into the math, thanks... But yeah, I'm transitioning so much my brain is spinning like a revolving door. My geography prof was supposed to be a goofy old dude that I've already had once before so now I see this young (like MY age, that's young, right? :) assuming this as well based on her 'net speak) woman on the syllabus & emailing announcements & such and she likes exclamation points & has a ton of vibrant energy that is all zoomy in her emails... it's cool. I like it--a nice change of pace from all the goofy old dudes I've had so far (no offense to the goofy old dudes, they've been great). But now I find myself wondering if something maybe happened to the goofy old prof that I had before, or if they just had a reschedule/mix-up kind of thing happen.

So... I had this wild, wild dream a few Sundays ago involving my uber geek Obama campaign guy crush and it was a nap time dream and I got up from my nap & my mind is all swimmy and I step out on the porch and imagine who should happen by on a canvassing walk? Uber geek campaign guy crush. It was very surreal and he sat & talked with me for awhile and he was a bit more laid back & rumpled looking that he usually is and... So. There's that.

Speaking of the campaign. I need it to be over already. I'm getting a fucking ulcer from watching the polls and...
hoping.
It's ridiculous.
