Since I kind of had a melt down in the piss and rant thread, I thought I'd balance by posting some things in here.

The bid I put in on the house I want was accepted by the bank yesterday. The same day, the money for the down payment and a few etceteras arrived in the mail. (I'm talking a loan from my 401K).

MT and I went over to a friends house yesterday for a some BBQ with a small group of people. We had a great time! I actually got my face in the sun and for the first time in many, many years, it felt good.

Today, we found one of the etceteras; a sectional couch that we both like that should fit in the new living room. And...it's on sale! So, I'll be spending about $400 less than I planned to which means more money for other etceteras.

Best of all, I gotten some really good sleep for two nights in a row.
