This Would Be Much Easier If We Lived In Ooo...

I really hate being sick. I was relatively okay when I woke up, but by the time I got into the car to head home from the supermarket, I was pretty much dead. And I'm at that point of illness where I'm just mad. I suppose mad is an improvement over depressed, but neither one are exactly happy fun times. I'm just worn out and suffering from the heat and all this activity that my body just is not used to.

In more positive news, it looks like we've got a promising prospect on a house. It's currently being renovated, I'll get a call or an email when it's done - sometime in July - and can go take a look. That would be absolutely perfect, as far as timing goes. It's a funny looking little house - it looks a lot like my bomb shelter attempts in The Sims - but it's nice inside and it's relatively private and in a beautiful area. That's only two miles from Silent Hill. It's kind of tiny and it does have wood panelling in the living room, but whatever. The ones we really wanted were a no go. :/ The property manager was a bitch, and apparently the listed rental prices were 'outdated'. I was not a happy camper about that email exchange. Though to be fair, my sister did warn me about that particular management company...

There is still the place in the pines - with the fireplace and tons of space and no right close by neighbors - but I haven't talked to [livejournal.com profile] husband_brother about that one yet. And while she did give me the complete go-ahead to just find a place and get it on my own...I realize I still have a lot of latent issues about this. They go back to The Horrible Time, when I was told not to even speak to or look directly at landlords/property managers, because I'd without a doubt ruin our chances. I think a lot of my later-life issues with dealing with people kind of go back to those roots. Because I never used to have those kinds of issues. But hey, I've managed to get in touch with Figures of Authority and not make a complete ass of myself, so...

I wish we could just find an abandoned cave and set up there. Or some empty land and just build a house.
