Tom got home late what with OT and having to stop at the mail place, so we decided to break the news to the Jes pest tomorrow. They’re not processing the application till next week anyway. It’s going to be a long and suspenseful weekend, wondering if we’ve got one foot in our new home, or if something up there is waiting with an evil grin, ready to have us delivered yet another blow and another setback. If worse comes to worst we don’t get in and we hire a realtor in the Auburn area to get us a place. Until and if things fall apart, we’re amazingly close to being on schedule with our plans. Rarely do our plans pan out the way we want them to, so this is a nice change.

My free Nicole polishes came today in pink, red and blue. They’re ok. I’ve come to be really picky with colors and I especially love glitter nail polish even though it’s a bitch to remove. Traditional reds just don’t excite me anymore, but the pink and blue are nice.

My 300 sticks of incense came today, too, LOL. I thought it was saying there were 4 left in stock, not that I was ordering packs of 4. I still have some patchouli and blackberry leftover, but now I’ve got strawberry, love, amber, honeysuckle, orchids, spice, herbs, dragon’s blood, espresso and honey vanilla.

Yesterday I noticed pain in my right shoulder, though I didn’t lift or do anything that should’ve caused an injury, and blurring in my right eye. Andy said blurriness can be caused by blood sugar fluctuations, but it’s only in one eye. My vision is poor anyway, and I have to wear glasses at all times. But when I closed my right eye, looking through my glasses, I could see my monitor clearly. When I closed the other eye it was significantly blurrier. I think I just got something in that eye, cuz later on when I blinked it felt like there was something sticky in it. Allergies and congestion can leave a film over the eyes, but I don’t think that’s it since it is just one eye and my allergies have been fine lately, thanks to Nasal Crom.

Later…

I couldn’t log into my LiveJournal account and had to reset the PW for that blog. The blog looks untampered with as far as I can see and it was probably just one of many glitches on LJ’s part, but if there’s any spam, threats, sensitive info or shit like that in there, don’t blame me! Do tell me about it, though, if you happen to notice anything fishy.

Thanks to all those who have offered to think happy thoughts and put out “positive vibes” as far as us getting the house we want. Again, I’m not sure it’d do us any more good than prayer would because it comes down to us meeting the park’s expectations and nothing more or less. We’re in the 35K - 50K income bracket, we’re at least 55 and 45, we’re legal US citizens, and so the only thing that might hinder us is the Klam scam. I’m afraid to get my hopes up yet can’t help but wonder if next week we’ll be told that we got our dream house, or if we’ll be delivered yet another blow. We’ll know soon!

The costs will be a little more than what they are here, and then after the loan is paid off it’ll be a little less. Well worth it since what we’d be getting is 3 times this size and nearly 20 years newer and built like any old standard American house.

I feel bad for some of my friends right now. It’s like the tables have turned and we’ve totally swapped shoes. Where I was once bitching so long about being broke and struggling and just being totally miserable overall, now others are struggling with money and health issues galore while we’re doing great. Having been there myself for so long, I totally sympathize with what they’re going through. Aly’s been one of my top online besties for years and damn I wish that girl could catch a break! It’s so unfair watching so many good people struggle while sick assholes seem to get it all.
