Welp, I did it.
I bought a house.
I've been without internet for a week. My body is still sore from moving a ton of crap. There is still a ton of stuff to move, and a lot more finishing touches around the new place to do before I can even begin to relax.
But wow. WOW.
After a lifetime of struggle and disappointment, me and my family have gotten a home to call our home. No more renting, or worrying about landlords barging in any time of the day. No more telling us that we can't paint our interior walls a different color, or build a built-in bookshelf.
Things lined up together a little too neatly and perfectly; I still can't believe that we have moved out of a shithole and into a place worthy to call home. Part of me still expects us to somehow fail, and get evicted, and force us to scramble back in the shadows like a whipped dog.
Part of me feels we don't deserve such a break in fortune. But man oh man am I ever GRATEFUL that we finally got one.
I think I'm only 2 blocks away from artist Aemi as well. Should probably go bug her again after I'm settled in more thouroughly, make her craft me something.

it can be repossessed but you have to REALLY fuck up for that.
Now that we got some things set up, like internet and cable, it feels more 'normal' to be here, I guess.
Gonna try to get all the rest of our stuff this weekend, and then finish up some loose ends like changing mailing addresses for accounts, etc..
Once that's done I can relax. And then get recruited to paint the fence, mow the grass, sand the deck... >_<'''
