It looks like after 4 and a half months of waiting we may actually be a week away from getting the keys to our new condo. We first saw it Thanksgiving weekend and have had our fingers crossed ever since. I have to admit that in the last month or so the waiting has become challenging. We both seem to be feeling very restless which has not translated into saving money or losing weight.
I know this is the same problem I always seem to have, but now it' supposed to be temporary. After we move we keep talking about how we'll cook at home and hang out on the deck etc. What it we're just as restless as always? What if we get bored cooking in and hanging out right away? I admit I'm starting to feel nervous. This is a big life change so I guess it's actually normal to be having all kinds of feelings and emotions. Frankly I'm tired of it and also just plain tired. I can't wait to stop thinking about everything and start doing things!
On HGTV people always say cliche things about buying a home like "start living our lives" or "put down roots" I always roll my eyes, but the fact is living in limbo is annoying. This whole year has been about getting a place and we are so close. This will all be so worth it if I can just make it to the finish line.

Stress Eating Stresses Me Out
Basically I have tried everything to save money and lose weight the last two months, except diet and exercise and staying in. I can't roll my eyes enough at myself! I have a list of reasons that are really just excuses for why I "should" treat myself. Bottom line is I have put on two pounds.
Most people are probably thinking that isn't much, and in the grand scheme it isn't. However, my goal was to lose two pounds on the way to my larger goal of losing 7+ pounds. Plus my face is all broken out and I feel crappy. Now to add to the whole mess I have stress at work. Ugh!
I can't quite figure out why this house buying thing is so stressful. Yes there is a lot of money involved, but we signed on for that in the beginning. If I had to name one thing it would have to be the uncertainty of whether or not it will happen at all or get called off completely. At some point we had to go all in and give notice at our apartment all without any guarantee that we will have somewhere to live after all of this. When you rent an apartment they are able to tell you exactly when you will move in a month ahead of time and you're able to plan accordingly. This is not like that at all, and it makes me question everything I do.
I feel restless and anxious and all I want to do is either move into my new place or run away. Everything and everyone is on my nerves and I would just like to have some quiet time. Not going to happen, so instead I'm going to pull myself together and carry on.
