Bah.

Yesterday I was all excited to spend the day today working on my photo site.  I said to Simon, “There are two things I am doing tomorrow: folding laundry and sitting at the computer and doing website stuff.  THAT IS IT.”  But I slept really terribly last night, and I am in the worst mood today and have lost all motivation to do anything.  I would probably crawl back into bed and fall asleep if it wasn’t for the fact that my sister is blaring Taking Back Sunday’s “Louder Now” at top level.  I knew there was a reason I hadn’t made her that CD.

A few Sundays ago I had attended my grandparents’ party they were throwing for my mother’s birthday.  It was the first time I had really spent an entire event just snapping away, but I was really pleased with the photographs I had collected.  One of my favorites is above, which is a portrait of my cousin’s son, Caleb.

Oh, and it looks like we did get the loan for the mortgage.  We’ll hopefully be closing in the next few weeks, and be able to move in by the beginning of next month.  I was so very excited when it turned out that we could find someone who got us approved… even though it meant we had to put a ton of more money down than we had anticipated, and we’ll be using up most of Simon’s disability payment… which we were planning on keeping in his bank account in New Zealand to save money.  So much for that, I guess.  But, if it means we get the house then it’s worth it.  I’m happy, but I’m exhausted.  And stressed.  And I will be so much better off once we get the keys to the house and move in.  Until then I feel like my stomach is littered with ulcers.

I feel like a complete bitch right now and I just want to sleep, so I think I should end this for now.  Later will be better.  Promise.
