I’m trying so hard to stay awake, so maybe typing will do that for me. I’m so sleepy, but I need to stay up for another few hours for an appointment. Being dressed and showered at 10:30 is usually not in my schedule.

Because today, we are signing papers for our home. There’s a chance we’ll be able to get the keys before the weekend! I hear that my hand will be tired by the time I’m done. We got to go and see it, all empty and waiting on Monday, and it was beautiful, and I can’t wait to live there. I’m trying to imagine how the furniture will go and fit and measuring and mapping things out, and its quite exciting even though I’m still not sure how several big pieces of furniture will lay out together in the new spaces.

My brother’s open heart surgery is next Wednesday. I haven’t talked a lot about it since the initial scare, but the doctors and Leonard decided it would be best to take care of it sooner than later, because the chances of an early stroke were more likely without the surgery. We are all pretty nervous about this, and L has been taking extra time to do some of his favorite things with his girls (Sarah and Leah, silly!) and the whole family. He’ll be on complete bedrest for the first month, and a lot more rest for the two months after that. They anticipate he’ll be okay to work 3 months after surgery. He practically had to beg for state funding/welfare/unemployment to help cover these months, because the system is so screwed up that they’d rather pay for someone to care for him and daycare for Leah so Sarah could go back to work instead of being at home with them.

I’ve been working like crazy, and alternating that with packing like crazy, so basically, I’m crazy. Its kinda a silly place to be, with half of my clothes used as packing materials and not sure when we can move in to plan the next steps. But we’ll get there, crazy-me and all!
