Yay! It's Saturday. I'm going to look at a house at 2pm (approx. 4 hours) with my parents. It's a house fr me, but whereas I'd be like "ooh, pretty" my dad is Mr. Super Overprotective Father Guy. Therefore, he'll be looking for lots of other things that wouldn't cross my mind because the thought of me getting a house is like "oooh pretty!" I mean, I know you have to keep an eye out for water damage in the basement, because that means it leaks and water in the basement is icky! And then there's things like keeping an eye on the slope of the roof, and on the sealing around windows and doors and stuff. And he would know better weather it is just a "easy fix" problem or if it's a "$10,000 in repairs" type problem.

I don't want to buy a house with $10,000 in repairs type problems. I want to move in and be blissful. But then there's phone stuff and heating stuff, and cable stuff, and roadrunner (cable modem) stuff, and paking my stuff and moving my stuff and... *sigh* Anyways, it's a reason why it is a big scary step. It means that I'd be a veritable adult! I could be self-sufficient! And that is scary.

Well, it's finally stopped snowing. I've had miserable commutes into work from Wednesday to Friday. Angus (my car) has developed an aversion to snow. He hates it. I think it comes from the fact that he had to try to plow through a foot of it on Christmas (see archives). He expresses to me his displeasure, and I tell him it will get better. It will. Snow melts, and that's a good thing.

Regardless, it's way too cold out now, and the cats are developing cabin fever really bad. They're bored, I can tell. They want something, and the laser-pointer is just not as effective in the sunlight. There goes Orpheus whining again.
