And I have to say it now
Its been a good life all in all
Its really fine
To have a chance to hang around
And lie there by the fire
And watch the evening tire
While all my friends and my old lady
Sit and pass the pipe around
And talk of poems and prayers and promises
And things that we believe in
How sweet it is to love someone
How right it is to care
How long its been since yesterday
And what about tomorrow
And what about our dreams
And all the memories we share
~John Denver

Well, this post is not really about John Denver, but since I borrowed one of his songs for my title, I felt obligated to share some of its lyrics. He does get it right, doesn't he?
With all my bitching and worrying and prompt freak-out session directly after (thank you Kyle and Yuengling for getting me out of it!) I have to share some of the outcomes.
1) I finally have a date set for my knee surgery!! They could have told me "Come in tonight" and I'd have dropped everything to go get it done. April 21. It really is a nearly perfect date. I won't have to miss too much class, and it is early enough not to affect my friend Kelly's visit in May. The only issues I now have to resolve are my transportation for the two weeks I am not allowed to drive. I should be able to get enough coworkers and friends to take me into work, and this gives me the frightening opportunity to acquaint myself with the Baltimore bus system.

2) 90% have a new place to live!! I heard back from the owners of the house I visited last weekend, and as long as no issues arise before I sign the lease and send them the security deposit, the place is MINE. Well, by rent. But you know what I mean. Have I mentioned how cool this house is??
2 woodstoves
hand-painted bathroom sink
floor-to-ceiling front window (perfect to start an indoor jungle)
roof access
south and east facing windows
NO west windows
kitchen bar unit from an old Baltimore bar
walk-in closet (!!)
1 block from the park

My reaction upon reading the email.I've been sketching out locations and plans for decorating all day in my mind. And you know what I've come up with? Not a thing. Other than to fill the front window with plants. And put lots of books somewhere.
How cute is this place??
Ok I'm done!! Waaaay too long post, will attempt to keep them snappy.
