This weather truly sucks. I sometimes forget exactly how hot it would be in the summer time in Florida. Only, unlike here, it would go on for months and months. Of course, also unlike here, air conditioning abounds. Thankfully our apartment gets very little sunlight (a fact we openly lamented during the cold grey winter), so we are able to, with the assistance of some timely opening and closing of windows and a room a/c unit, keep the place reasonably comfortable. However, the weather has had the same effect on me as the heat does in Florida.........it makes me want to do anything but go out in it. Hence, lots of reading, blog hopping, and general laziness.
I am not sure if I have blogged on it, but we have an accepted offer on a house. While the thought of the hunt being over and finally moving into a place of our own (especially since it is FAR nicer than we hoped have reasonably hoped or expected in our price range), it still sends little shivers of fear up my spine when I think about all the things that home ownership means. So long extra cash, hello large mortgage payments. Goodbye flexibility, hello stability. Of course, the hope is that the good will outweigh the bad and I certainly want to believe that is the case.
We had our home inspection today and, as we had hoped, the inspection revealed little of note. I didnt anticipate that it would, since the house is only a few years old, but you always worry. Just like when they do a routine blood test and you have the moment of worry that they will find some rare blood cancer even though you feel healthy. Of course, I havent really seen much to make me overly confident of home inspectors anyway and I can't help but think that you give them an awful lot of money for very little in return. If they encounter any issues, they just tell you to contact whatever specialist the malfunctioning equipment requires. I know it is still helpful, but I guess i expect more for what amounts to $175/hr for their time.
The gall bladder is set to depart my body on the 25th of next month, barring unforseen flare-ups. Right now my body and I have an uneasy truce that is shaky at best. I definitely pay manyfold times over for any indulgences and sometimes just for the hell of it, but the situation is largely bearable. Will it remain so until the 25th? Tune in next time to find out. I have never really had a surgery save for a tonsillectomy that I can only vaguely recall, so I am unreasonably anxious about the procedure. I think I would feel more firmly behind it if the results were virtually guaranteed, but they aren't. Too many people seem to have this done only to find themselves dealing with similar symptoms.
Saw Watchmen (finally!). My review is simple and I think agrees with most others. If you are a fan of the book (series), you will love it, or at least really like it. They stayed very true to the storyline. However, there were a number of parts edited out for brevity which were unfortunate, but necessary. The ending was also quite different from the book. That said, overall it was well done and stunning to watch.
