Nov. 1st, 2012 07:25 pmTempted to cut back on drinking for a while. I don't think it's having a huge negative effect on my life right now or anything, but my system is sensitive as FUCK lately and drinking makes me miserable the entire next day. Medicine doesn't do a damn thing. I have fun when I'm out with my friends but 6 hours of fun vs 18 hours of misery... the math seems simple enough to tell me it's Not Worth The Hassle.
Of course this worries me as drinking HAS, often, been something to calm my social anxiety. I really should talk to the VA soon... bitch that the Synthroid is doing this to me, bitch that I need help, maybe bring up (unrelated) painkillers for my hips*
Anyway.
It's November now. We're going to start The House Hunt. We're looking to rent in the Little Elm area but the option to buy is on the table if we just find THE PERFECT HOUSE OMG. I'm nervous, I've never done the house thing before, but I'm excited. We're very quickly outgrowing this apartment and the life that we have in it. We're maturing, growing, our relationship has new needs and the house will help. Once we move in we'll probably have the handfasting there, I like the symbolism implied.
Yeah we're not moving until February but with the holidays... I dunno, it's smart to start looking ASAP. I'm worried about down payments and such... but the bills will be split three ways and the other two aren't worried if I come up short once in a while. I feel awful for it but it's just the way life is right now.
Adulthood, whee! :P
*They're getting worse, it seems (partially due to the change in seasons). I have physical therapy next week for the first time. Nervous about that but maybe getting some strength back into the hip muscles will help out.
