Woohoo!!!

We have progress, people!! The lay-off chaos is slowly coming down and things are settling and plans are being made and goals are being set and we can get back to some sense of normalcy. Whatever the hell that is.

If all goes according to plan, we can get back to house0-hunting within a couple of months and make something happen there before the HST comes into effect. It means we can get some debt paid. It means we can move froward. Sigh. It's been a long time coming.

Of course, with some of the changes come some other options. With The Boy's new career, the locations open up and with it the possibilities. So, really, we could move. Or we could stay. Or we could.....I don't know. We have options, is all I'm saying, and that, my friends, is a good thing.

I feel like we are now at a point where we can start to breathe again. It's not all done yet, but it's almost there, and there are no foreseeable bumps in the road. I'm hoping there is no cause to go backwards, but even if there is, we can make it work.

I have been horrible at actually doing all the things I need to do, or should do. I haven't been looking after myself the way I should and have been letting things get to me that I have no control over. I have been over-tired and over-stressed, and it's all leading to frustration. I felt moderately better after a mini-breakdown on the weekend, but must get back to looking after me. I guess baby steps will be the key.

On the bright side, while having my little mini-breakdown on the weekend, The Boy did mention a list of things that he wants out of life.....like buying a house....and getting married. Which....yay? I mean, we've talked about it in vague terms, but I also know how he has felt about marriage in the past, and I don't think he has ever stated so specifically that he wants to get married. And now, I can see it actually becoming a reality. I have been thinking about marriage A LOT lately....probably more than is healthy, since there was no sign of it being something that was going to take place in the near future. And I want to get married. And I'm excited about that being a possibility too. So cheers to good things.
