The More Things Change...

[unforth]

The more things change...the more they change. This week, since Monday morning, has done a complete 180, so quickly that it's disconcerting. I don't want to go in to great depth right now, but to run down the items in brief...

1. I have a boyfriend. :)
2. I saw apartments for potential purchase, got tentative approval for a sizable loan (not unreasonably sizable...), and learned a bunch about buying co-ops, mortgages, and all manner of other things.
3. When I ranted about not getting any of the 21st CCLC grants in my last post, I mentioned that we were still waiting for word of three other grants - well, those results are coming, and so far we can confirm that we've won one, which is very, very exciting news.
4. This isn't good or bad, but after we didn't get the 21st CCLC grants, the family + Jen started talking about the future of the company, and it's starting to look like we're thinking that we're not going to continue ad infinitum - which we knew - and that we're looking at a timeline of roughly 5 to 7 years, which means I need to start seriously thinking about what I'm going to do next. Okay, amend that, I was already thinking about this, but now I need to start making some decisions, which is really just overwhelming...

So all in all? I was super depressed on Monday morning, and though now I'm relatively stressed, I'm mostly feeling pretty good about life. :) It makes for a weird reversal...

lol, oh - that's what I get for assuming things about Facebook usage. ozziel and I have decided that we are interested enough in each other to try doin' a long distance thing. Of course, the non-long distance parts of it are way more fun.... :)

Is this the time to scan some pics from highschool and e-mail them? ^.-

After I posted this, it occurred to me I should probably check Facebook. But I'm lazy, so you saved me from having to do that. :-)

'grats to you both!

I'm glad for the 180! I was thinking of you today and totally wanted to call and see if I could squeeze some gossip out of you, but I ended up working through lunch instead.

I'm glad too. ;) I just hope it lasts...

wow, look what happens when I leave civilization for a month! Seriously, though, congratulations on all the positive changes in your life :)

It's been that kind of month! I've been getting the sense in facebook that you had an awesome trip - I hope we'll get an LJ post about it! (I'm about to go check, so ignore me if such a thing is already up!)
