Me, me, me, me

litheraI am not sleeping well. I can tell that my brain is busy with something but, really, right now I have no idea what it is. This happens a few times a year and I'm not surprised with work kicking into higher and higher gear that it is happening now. It is unfortunate that it is happening as the stress and need to be sharp increases but I get why that is.
The house front - well, right now, I'm trying to decide when to lock in my rate. The window for a free lock is 30 days and I have a feeling we're more than 30 days out for completion of the lovely townhouse. It is like trying to hit a moving target. Some part of me wonders what the advantage to this is. I mean, paying rent to a landlord who will fix everything vs paying of a loan from a bank who won't come and fix anything. I know there is a lot more to it than that but it looks that way from time to time when I'm frustrated. Though, I admit that I'd happily strangle someone for my own washer and dryer and no more freaking quarters.
I'm in the mindset where I'm feeling something lacking again and it happens to me often enough. The strange bit is that usually that lack kicks up my desire to buy things. Right now, I'm in a 'shed the junk' phase (and really, I don't need to spend any more money than I am on, oh, I don't know, the freaking townhouse). So, I'm likely looking for a new activity or thing to do. I spend too much time sitting around the house but adding a new activity is challenging. Bowling seems to have been a successful addition but tango was not. Karate might be once I move but that won't be something I can jump into until after CES.
I still need to sit down and go through my comics and do some weeding. I can already tell you that I'll have most of a run of SiP that can go to someone as I have the ominbus now, brick that it is. Probably all of my Marvel Tales and X-Force... I'll have to look. For all I was a Marvel zombie when I was younger, I find that the stuff I'm hesitant to let go of is DC. Except my 80s/90s X-men. Mine. Mine, mine, mine.
Anyway. Work needs my attention.
