Today has been simply AWESOME.

Benefits have sorted, bar housing which won't take long.

As of Tuesday, we will have the keys and lease for the flat sorted.

As of the 12th, we are out of this mess! WOOOOO.

AND I finally got to bring home my two corn snakes!! <3 They are amazing! (And yes, I am so typing with one of them wrapped around me right now.)

Okay, so it almost looked like it wouldn't happen, but the knee brace I needed (which looks like a fabric covered piece of War Machine's armor) arrived and- I was given the okay to do some walking without crutches!

And on this same auspicious day, I found out that Paty's been doing a bit of walking too!

Got my new glasses and got my hair colored today, so woo for small things! Also had my mom here to help take care of miss fussy baby so I could get some sleep.

Baby's also five weeks old today. Seems in some ways like it's been much longer, and in others not nearly that long.

Flat is paid and signed for :) Finally we can breathe easy - we're out of here for sure on the 12th. Now we just have to stretch the £10 we have left to last for two weeks, but hey, nothing new there.

Also, I got a new phone! It's a hand-me-down, but it's touchscreen and awesome and not flimsy or easy to break :) And best of all, it's free. So yeah, today's been pretty good.

This is kinda bittersweet astounding, but it's going in here for the relief I feel...

I dropped out of the school today. I just finished the paperwork, and the only thing I have left to do is have my RA check me out of the building and take my room key after I finish packing.

The nice thing is that they're refunding my tuition for the semester, and I may be able to appeal to the housing to get my money back on my room. I also have up to five years to decide whether I want to come back or not.

Went to a Firefighters' Ball, had a great time with my honorary family, witnessed a marriage proposal, had a prime rib dinner, and even managed to enjoy a bit of dancing with Mr. Ange. (Okay, it was slow dancing, and I leaned on him a great deal, but still, victory over the knee injury!)

And my first book to hit the shelves is shipping this week!

On the other hand, I was smart enough to make a back-up plan should this be the case. I can go live with my grandma... which isn't so bad, I guess. Better than nowhere.

Had a good day yesterday, in that Baby Slarti and I had our first outing on our own. I went to my old office and talked to Assboss, who is going to honor the agreement to let me freelance - starting today, lol. He and Office Girl told me how adorable babeh was and she was on her best behavior by smiling very cutely and not bawling. My husband said maybe she was working her charm on the boss: "Give my mommy work so I can eat!"

Stopped by my mom's afterward, visited Scott's office to show off babeh to his coworkers, and had some friends come by the house in the evening - and they brought presents!

So the only ass right now is that I'm tiiiiired. I'm posting this at 7:23 a.m. because I've been up since 3 a.m. But Baby Slarti is six weeks old today!

I got to experience the once-in-a-lifetime joy of holding in my hands the first completed comic book on which I've worked.

Now since I consistently lost every fanfic challenge I entered, that means that everyone who even tried could do better than me. ;)

Luckily, we got all the stuff in the trunk, and I didn't care too much about the shelf that we broke. Oh, and we managed to fix the trunk when we got home.

We got to go out for late Valentine's Day last weekend and nobody ended up in the ER! We dressed up, went to my favorite Cajun restaurant for dinner, complete with rum runner goodness, and went to the dueling piano bar for a while. Got more than a little drunk for the first time since .... wow, about this time last year... and got hit on at the bar twice when Scott left me alone. Nice little ego boost. :cracked

And Sunday we went to the inlaws' house where everybody got to meet Babeh. She got more presents. >< We have soooo much baby crap...
