jaeclecticGood morning, all.
I took some of eac's advice (went for a walk), some of podle's advice (watched a DVD), and some of my own advice (drank beer). With the result that I woke up thirsty and a bit headachey, but reasonably calm.
Note: I would have taken bulie's advice (watch Strictly Ballroom) if I had it on hand; instead I watched Crybaby, a very (intentionally) silly movie with young Johnny Depp for eye candy. Also, I have duly noted moose's advice to all and sundry (go see Cars), although I doubt it will happen this weekend.
About now I need to be cleaning myself up to go forth and meet my realtor at 9:00. I am leaning toward the place on Orange, and if I do my measurements and don't experience any undue panic about it being too small, that will be that.
It has occurred to me that if I am feeling so uncertain, the better answer might be to cancel both contracts, find a place to sublet for the next few months, and wait for something that approaches perfection to fall in my lap -- or give up the idea and keep renting. But that's unpalatable, too.
I have a bit of deja vu at this point, from my house-buying experiences in PA. At a certain point I just get so sick of looking that I say "fine, this one, this will do" and then spend the next x years wondering if I was too impatient. Really, it is the paradox of choice. Exactly and precisely.
In any case, I do in fact really appreciate how supportive you all have been as I whine about my spoiled upper-middle-class dilemma.
