kittydesadeWelp, after a couple of weeks? Week and a half? of decent sleep, last night I managed to wake up from a deep and relatively okay sleep to the 4 am sudden fear of oh god what if the boy drives off the bridge this morning on his way to drop the car off and dies? I don't even fucking know with that except these are the kinds of things I guess we think about at 4 am, or at least I think about at 4 am. It didn't help that he'd woken up earlier and quietly snuck downstairs to play video games at low volume so I woke up to an empty bed.
Then I woke up and the boy asked some questions about our maybe possible roommate from capoeira coming to stay with us for a couple months that sounded like he's amenable to it? I don't think I've mentioned this here yet but Wednesday Capoeira Puck asked if there was anyone we knew of looking for a roommate, and I said I didn't know but I'd talk to the boy and see because we'd originally thought about taking on a friend as housemate when we'd bought the house.
(No, we didn't buy the house with that as finances in mind for anything but oh the extra money will be handy for making repairs. Which it would be! It will be. Dear god, if she stays with us for three months we could get the roof reflashed. But it's by far not essential.)
Anyway, so I mentioned this to the boy and asked him to ask the gaming group too if anyone knew of anyone. That didn't happen, but he does sound positive about one of my capoeira friends moving in with us for a few months, and she is a sweetie. So they're going to meet when we all go out to lunch after capoeira tomorrow, and we'll see what happens then.
PLUS. The good news that's more solid, the boy by all accounts is getting a verbal yes from the VA! The way this is happening is a bit whispers-down-the-lane-y, basically one of our friends who works there tells him because she's close with her supervisor, who knows these things? And then the hiring person or the shift supervisor he'd be coming onto, I forget which, calls him up and says you're hired go do these physical tests. And once he passes the physical tests then he gets a written you're hired here's the official shit, and then it's safe for him to give notice at his current place. So we're both secure and have something to look forward to, so that is good news. And a pay raise because of federal shit, and a federal job with benefits. Possibly domestic partner benefits. You'd think my Mom would know this but she does not. We'll find out, because if the benefits are as good as I remember them being YES GIVE ME SOME OF THOSE TASTY BENEFITS.
Grugh. This makes the upshot yay good things are happening, holy fuck they're happening all at once, I need to get a lot of shit done at work (fortunately work is quietish so far so I might be able to) so I can go home and clean all the things so the living room and kitchen and upstairs bathroom don't look like quite so much of a pigsty. Because if things work out we'll haul her home and show her the house. And ... I have no idea when or how all of this is going to get done, and I have Helix to do, and. Holy shit it is busy. I have to figure out how to bash Russian checks into my brain somehow, I think probably in the morning do the one from yesterday and make it linked with Japanese, there's usually some time there, or will be once I finish getting into my daylight schedule. If I can ever fucking get a decent night's sleep. That's not helping. Good things happening! Good things that require a lot of business and effort.
On the other hand I guess if we're going to have a boarder, I'm glad we do have the separate house account so shit can just go in there. And now listing everything on Habitica and checking it off so I can kill the monster there. Maybe I'll put a done-did list here. That'd at least be reassuring.
