Good News!!!!
For the last six months, Master and i have been talking about how we need to move into a house. We went looking last weekend, and found one. The perfect one. All tile floors, beautiful kitchen, formal dining room, three bedroom 2 bath, plus an addition in the back that could serve as room for a boarder, or whatever we wanted. It also has it's own bath. There is a laundry room, a huge living room, and cable. It has air conditioning and a swamp cooler, and a solar panel. All the rooms have ceiling fans. The back addition has it's own separate heating and cooling unit (includes laundry room and bedroom/bath). It has a walled backyard, mature fruit trees, and uses irrigation for watering. There are other plants on the property as well. It has a barbeque pit in the backyard, a patio, and a ceiling fan/light on the patio!
It is trememdous. It is not within realistic financial reach. We have decided to rent it anyway.
There's a boy we know who needs his own space to live in. His situation is not ideal. It means he would have to get a job. But he is willing to contribute to the household with chores, etc...and go out and find a job. boy c is a wonderful person. He is in PboL with me, and His Daddy is a very good friend. Daddy N thought it was an excellent idea to propose to him that he come live with us. The boy said yes.
I am still reeling with the possibilities. I am unsure of where my excitement levels are. I just know that this is the right house for us. After months of searching, and with our lease up in January, it is the perfect time to move. We putting blind faith in the Universe that this will work out, it will be good for all parties involved, and we will be able to meet the rent and utilities every month. It means i have to work harder on selling my poetry and art, but it will also give me space to create, and get the projects going that i need to finish. Having another boy to help out will alleviate some of the stress i have over not being able to balance chores with work schedule. boy c was over tonight while i was at work, and helped us out. He is such a good boy! The kitchen is clean...YAY!
This is going to mean a lot of work in a short period of time, and approaching a relative that i haven't spoken to since after my mother passed away for financial assistance. But if i am having blind faith in the Universe that this is going to work, there ought to be no fear in speaking to my Aunt, and saying "This is what i need, could you please help?"
After we visited the house the first time, i plucked an orange from one of the front trees, and placed it on my altar in the bedroom. And everything is working out, so far. There aren't roadblocks, side turns, or u-turns. We can have our pets, the roommate, and tile floors. I am so excited.
This is what happens when one has a balanced, structured life, and commits to bettering one's self. The Universe opens up and expands, and says, "Here it is, take it." And i can contemplate putting out that much money a month in rent to have quality of life.
There is probably a way, down the road to actually purchase the property as well, if we like the house that much. And that thought actually scares me a bit. Responsible Adult behavior...owning a home. I so want to own a home. This just might be the one!
On to work news...
been putting in lots of overtime this week, and probably next week as well. I'm really tired because Master and i have been up every night past 11 p.m. talking about the house. I haven't hit the grumpy stage yet, but i am very exhausted. Monday is my day off, and i hope to really get some rest that day. I'll be able to relax a bit after the New Year, but i'll still have to push for over time because of this new commitment we are going to take on.
Say Yay! for the boy.
(Now would be a good time to hit that paypal button and help support slave boy's website).
