My Chaotic Realm

Well, done the pre-qualifying... given them ernest money, gone through the preliminary walk-through & signed the land contract.... now to see if the bank REALLY meant it when they said PRE-qualified.... was HOPING to hear something back today but that is not so... shooting for closing just after Thanksgiving.... moving in starting December 1st... being out of rental by Dec 31st.... CROSS YOUR FINGERS, PLEASE, UNTIL I HEAR BACK FROM BANK!!!!

We've narrowed it down, and we still keep coming back to the one particular home... same one I've already mentioned.... we are going to go do a "walk thru" on it tomorrow. It is a "spec home" meaning builder built it with no particular buyer in mind, so it has the tan carpet that we so hate...but tile is what we really want so we wont mind it for now. It has no landscaping as of yet, so I can lay in flower beds as time/weather permits. It sits on a cul-de-sac on an acre of land that is not yet totally cleared, so we can slect where we would want circle to be. And trees. And fencing for the dog. etc... Sigh...happy, but scary...lots of work ahead, and a house is a huge commitment... about the same as my pythons, actually.... 30 years worth. Wow....

We finally met with a gentleman to go look at some of the homes I'd been eyeballing from afar. And, after looking at the 3 I'd selected, he showed us one I'd not even noticed in one of the same subdivisions I'd been prowling. I guess I missed it as it was in the very back on a cul-de-sac. So, long and short of it is that we put ernest money down on a four bedroom/three bath home... 1920 square feet. It has what most people would call a "Mother-in-Law suite" but it will be for Rebel. It is a smaller master suite with its own bathroom & entryway with space for a small kitchenette area & sleeping space for Bud. Then a bedroom for the reptiles... gosh I hate moving.

Well, been so long since I was awakened (at 3:30am) that I forgot what song was playing in my head...sigh. Been a long, tiring week. But fulfilling! Planned the upcoming esbat last night w/a group of participants. What fun it will be! Have to work Saturday until noon but that is offset by ArtDay from 2-6pm the same day. Then dim sum for a 60th Bday party brunch & then we kickoff "Deep Calls to Deep" from now until Imbolc. But, tonight is a first...we go look at a house. Like, as in, to possibly purchase it. Wow, what a concep...maybe that it how you know you've become an adult? Home purchase. Eeeek!! Stay tuned...

This weekend was the 15th Annual Festival of the Goddess ... work work work!! Between hauling stuff infrastructure to the middle of nowhere and setting it up to staying up WAY past my bedtime, then coming back 1st thing in the morning to do it all over again Saturday & Sunday, to the teardown & hauling & unloading of infrastructure... I am E X H A U S T E D. Oh, and Aphrodite had her followup appointment at the Exotics Vet today 7am, which is an hour from home, then almost another hour in the other direction to work. She loves her "Spa Days" tho! Look for pictures soon. Speaking of pictures, I have been 90 to nothing for the last 2 weeks so I have yet to get pics to any of the peopl...

"Life Uncommon" Don't worry mother, it'll be alright And don't worry sister, say your prayers and sleep right It'll be fine lover of mine It'll be just fine Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom No longer lend you strength to that which you wish to be free from Fill your lives with love and bravery And you shall lead a live uncommon I've heard you anguish I've heard you hearts cry out We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out set down you chains, until only faith remains Set down you chains And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom No longer lent your strength to that which you wish to be free from Fill you lives with love and bravery And we shall lead a life uncommon There are plenty of people who pray for peace But if praying were enough it would have come to be Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves To hear out voices ring out clear with sounds of freedom sounds of freedom Come on you unbeliever...

This is the sound of one voice One spirit, one voice The sound of one who makes a choice This is the sound of one voice This is the sound of one voice This is the sound of voices two The sound of me singin' with you Helpin' each other to make it through This is the sound of voices two This is the sound of voices two This is the sound of voices three Singin' together in harmony Surrendering to the mystery This is the sound of voices three This is the sound of voices three This is the sound of all of us Singin' with love and the will to trust Leave the rest behind, it will turn to dust This is the sound of all of us This is the sound of all of us This is the sound of one voice One people, one voice A song for every one of us This is the sound of one voice This is the sound of one voice
