It’s Saturday, huh? (9)

My day was really a bust. Terrible mood till I took a nap at 5:00. Got woken up this morning from the upstairs neighbors playing fetch with their dog indoors. Then we went to check out this hopeful city for houses and realized it’s probably not going to be an option, PLUS we nearly got into a wreck! The guy thankfully was able to stop in time to just tap our car. 100% his stupid fault! Then we checked out that one particular house I wanted. Bloody hell it’s WAY too much for it’s size!!! It was a GREAT area. I want to live there, I want the house, but it was so tiny for being $450,000 :whaaaaaat:. (Oh well, we still have till May.) So yea. But Mike took me to the store and I picked up some groceries.

I’m really excited about the tea! The Genmaicha with Matcha I got last week has been delicious!!! So I want to try the “commercial brand” to see if the quality is as good.

Mike’s giddy as a schoolgirl waiting to pick up his pre-ordered Nintendo Wii tomorrow morning.

Oh, I scanned in this cute hair tutorial. click the icon to download

So what if it is a placebo effect! (19)

:girlsad: Since Friday a new guy has been moving in upstairs. It’s understandably noisy, however, I hope it stops soon. Either way, crazy lady moved out so, loud or not, at least our lives aren’t threatened! I’m trying to remind myself to enjoy the renting life while I can. When things break you don’t have to pay to fix or replace it, when you spill something you don’t care so much, and so on. But it’s kind of hard to see those things when you’re already paying rent that’s the same cost of a mortgage.

I’m so stressed about buying a house. The main concern is the down payment. We don’t have that much for one and it’s not like we’ll be getting any help from our family. I know there are other things you can do… but they hurt you in some other department.

Work is stressful, home is stressful, holidays are stressful, wedding is stressful.

I’ve been taking St. John’s Wort and now I’m taking Sam-e to help “promote a happy mood.” I took similar supplements when I was a teen and they helped some. I do feel like I get less anxious after things “happen.” So~ we’ll see. I wish I could just fast-forward life. Just wake-up when we’re married & have a nice quiet house.

pop! Friends… I know it’s mid-November so I want to talk about something that may be a bit uncomfortable. It’s about Christmas. With concerns about a house and having to travel soon for family, I’d like to say that holiday shopping is going to be a little tight for me this year. So, if exchanging just cards or gifts not exceeding $5.00 would be cool with any of you that are pen pals please speak up !!! You can just leave a comment on this post if you like! It’s just that every year my Christmas list expands more and more. I have both my family and Mike’s and I have co-workers too now. So yea~ :gift:

Just when I was feeling better…. (12)

I’ve been dealing with new shit about every week. You know, that thing that happened October 9th. Then last weekend someone stole our pumpkins off our patio. The ones we picked at the patch. Then tonight our upstairs neighbor threatened my poor baby’s life & so I got terrified & called the cops while she was all up in his face. She had been stompin & bangin shit around for 5 hours straight! For over a month this has been happening & we’ve said nothing!! He was going to ask her kindly (like we have before) to kind of tone it down. Anyway. She, on some sort of obvious roid rage, flew off the handle and her boyfriend was holding her back from physically attacking Mike.

I’m so sick of this apartment!!!!! Luxary my ass! We pay SO much to live in this nice place & within a month it’s turned into some sort of scary ghetto! I want a FUCKIN’ HOUSE SO BADLY. So badly I cry. My emotions are so fragile right now. I’m having all this trouble at work with contract changes and health care issues. Getting set up to buy a house in an insanely high market is stressful. We’re looking at moving further away adding hours to me commute, which I don’t WANT to have to do. But we have about a year left on our lease, but we’re wanting to move out in spring anyway!

I just feel so alone right now. I just want to feel safe and happy again. I know I can. I know my environment won’t change, so I just have to find a way to deal. And every time I think I do (Like today, I was actually not feeling so down for once,) something pushes me 10 steps back .
