General Updates- September, ALREADY

So, yes, not doing so great with the whole blog thing. I will get the hang of it again eventually. Maybe.

Right now I have been gifted with insomnia. last night I was up until 4am (and out of bed before 8). I cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms a bit then. Today (or rather these wee hours), I think I will write. maybe that is what will make this godforsaken anxiety bullshit of a curse subside. Or at least I can ramble myself into a stupor...

Easy stuff first- Damon loves his new job. His first official install is almost finished, and hopefully it will be well enough put together that he can rubber stamp some future installations..

He has his FIRST.NEW.CAR. Which he loves. The inside is slick and feels like the inside of a shuttle. The outside is modern, not to big, and the color won't show dirt. (stupid inside joke)

I have JUST gotten my dream car. DREAM.CAR. Fifteen years in the making. Of course, had I gotten it back then, it would have cost me twice what I got this one for. It is Sundown Orange, purrs like a good diesel should and as far as diesel engines go- this one has a lot of life left on it. Going to take it to a trusted mechanic who specializes in this kind of car to do a once over and help me get a grip on what i will need to do to keep this thing in good working order!

The girls are amazing as always. Jovie can walk and is talking in her own language. She intersperse "real" words where she can, and she is a marvelous mimic. She has officially stopped being a "baby." Jovie does not like shoes, and may turn out to be a picky eater, but right now I am in denial about that. I prefer to think she wants a liquid diet...

Mina has moved to a bunk bed and loves it about 80% of the time. Bed and nap time are a bit of a struggle as we hone in on a schedule again. I had let things get a little too fluid- so I am actually glad to be regaining some structure.

My brains are unsettled. I still have to post my story of Jovie's birth, but so much of that time was colored by the hormonal interactions of my brain- it is hard to tease the story apart. Now I am living my dream life, with my dream car and my brain has thrown me for another loop. Times like this, I just cannot imagine what it must be like for my brother luke... Anyhow- what was full on depression with regular bouts of anxiety now seems to be full on anxiety with regular bouts of depression. May try to change up medications and I am seeing my therapist as often as I can afford to. But it seems I have simply lost my balance a bit... If that makes sense.

Our house is still up for sale and we have made room for us to be able to sell it at a reduced rate, but we have not had many showing recently. There is supposedly an upkick before the holidays, and I am hoping for that to lead someone to us. Interest rates are CRAZY DAISY low. Historic lows. Hopefully someone will take advantage- they are going to get a sweet deal on the house and a sweet deal on the interest rate.

And once that part of the puzzle is found and filled in, we will be set. I can't wait to be in a bigger home. we have certainly outgrown our lovely little cape cod. I am sad to have to leave it, but it will make a marvelous home for another small family looking for a "starter" house. But oh- to have 2 bathrooms, and a playroom for the girls... An office, and perhaps a study downstairs... And did I mention the basement???? THERE IS A BASEMENT. And a lovely cool back yard with a screened in porch and deck.

I am gushing a bit too much in my sleep deprived state... But suffice it to say, even though I am not sleeping and my energy is kinda low- things are going great at the house o bradshaw.
