Next on my happiness list

The house purchase looks like it is going to happen. We get the keys on the 27 of August. I'm feeling really excited about that.

Now, my recent blogging apart from the house has been about not being happy. And, I discovered, happily, that getting into a "home" is a signficant part of that. Well, hooray me, mission accomplished.

However, there is a linking of things that has taken me back a little bit. I can't leave my job until we have settled into the house. This isn't a huge regression. In fact, it offers me a little bit of a reprieve, perhaps excuse, from thinking too much about it. For now, my job is what it is. (I've mentioned before that I hate the idea "overthinking," but that's another blog.) I can imagine the loan conversations, "yeah. I quit my job this week. Will that affect anything?"

I don't think that some kind of window of opportunity is closing. I'm pretty sure I can quit anytime. But, I do think it will make for some interesting internal conversations for the time being. I'm hoping Redsy will come out in the fall. Perhaps for a little parental validation, but also for some carpentry input. We'd like to close off one room downstairs for the TV room and the best room is a pretty open one with a staircase.

Look forward to seeing you all, too.
