Things are a little crazy around here right now. Just before Christmas Pat got some interesting news at work, something we initially took as Very Good News. But in the week since then a lot has happened and now we just don’t know what kind of news it really is.
Best case scenario at the moment is that the Powers That Be really are just flying by their pants seats and all will fall into place with little major disruption in the end. Worst case - I’m not going there.
Reality- again, the fact that we haven’t yet begun to go into massive debt to build onto the house is working in our favor. It’s becoming very tempting to try to downscale the plan. I’m already picturing a smaller new bedroom, a cozier sunroom- or maybe just a nice porch and a new deck- and fix up the basement a bit. Can we rethink it all and still be happy with the results? I know I can- I’m not so sure about Pat.
Pat was supposed to have today as a vacation day (one he can’t carry over to next year) but real life dictates that he’s going in for a few hours afterall. I think maybe we need a date night tonight. A few drinks might be in order!
Meanwhile, Andy’s re-thunk his college situation and come back to where he was before- I guess he needed to remind himself why he chose the schools he did. He’s got two apps to complete this weekend, then we submit the FAFSA and go back to explore the campuses. He’s pretty much ruled out Rider- I don’t know why, but it boils down to the fact that he liked Stockton better. Personally if I were a betting woman I’d say he’s going to end up at Stockton- with Ramapo a close second. My choice for him would be Ramapo, for many reasons. But I admit to bias, since I went there, so I keep my mouth shut.
Hmmmm, sounds, well confusing. Hang in there….things will work out. They have to. Might not be the way you originally planned, but that’s life. BTDTABTTS!
Doesn’t sound like good news, but I’m sure things will work out. Somehow, some way. I’ll be hoping for more details, perhaps in another venue.
