UGH! Feeling crappy today. This spring cold is having it's way with my family. It's not all that bad, just annoying. I don't want to feel ucky right now!

So, the planets are apparently aligning. I guess I should say, the majority of the planets are aligning with a few asteroids smacking into them here and there. Loan guy came though and things will be finished this week. We can move the home onto the lot per Health Inspector guy (hereafter referred to as HI guy) but we can't use the existing septic. We have to wait for his inspection report to come in this week in order to get with our excavator guy to determine how to proceed and how much money the proceedings are going to cost us.

I really need to have a discussion with HI guy regarding things like a water catchment system to see if that's even a possibility. I hate to have to pay to connect to the water company (4 grand!) when I don't plan on using their services long term. I'm sure he's going to keel over when I ask about this. These people are such sticklers! I understand protecting public health, but there are people all over the world using rainwater catchment systems, including much of China, as their primary water source. It's not dirty water, especially after you filter the crap out of it.

Anyway. There are still some roadblocks but overall it's looking like it's really going to happen. And fairly soon. I'm still dealing with some of my emotional attachments to our house...we brought Maddie home there, Mason was born there...but I think it's just going to take some time. I have to focus on the good things that are going to come of this. We won't be worried about money problems, we'll be living below our means, we can do some of the things we've always wanted to do but could never afford. This move is a good thing.
