I just keep thinking holy ****!!!! Like HOLY ****.
I am so nervous and excited and can't stop talking about the house and what I want to do with it. It's a NICE house. So much nicer than the others in my price range. I was so sure I would have to be in a bidding war and over price because there were so many offers. It was just put on the market 2 days ago.
Of course closing is right after the september agility trial weekend and I'm supposed to do pairs.... Oh well!

I just did something that was really, really hard for me, and I'm goddamn proud of myself for it.
Granted I probably wouldn't have had the courage if I wasn't on painkillers, but I still did it!
(I was getting a migraine so I took a Vicodin to stave off the pain. The courage was just a bonus side effect. No prescription abuse for me!)

Yesterday sucked at work. I had a system that we rely heavily on that had an issue and in the course of attempting to restore it, I did some dumb things and managed to kill it entirely. The backup I thought I had was incomplete.
Admist my preparations for hari kari, I tried a few more options, got it to limp along and slowly recovered error by error until I have it back to a usable form.
Phew.
So, today shouldn't suck as bad

I wanted to transplant Happy's flowers over to my house. I missed doing it in spring so I've been waiting for a good time to do it. Well, my mom bought a bunch of daylilies from a daylily farm here and asked the owner about transplanting. He said you can transplant in the summer just fine, but they won't bloom anymore after being transplanted; he also said you can do it in the fall, you have to be sure to do it four weeks before a frost, or they won't survive.
We're expecting another really cold winter, so I decided I would rather transplant them and have them stop blooming this year but at least survive rather than risk losing his flowers. I also found a new daylily plant called "Just Plum Happy" so I bought two of those and then transplanted his flowers (the variety name of these is "Happy Returns.") One of them had also gotten REALLY big so I went ahead and divided it.
I was terrified because I really really didn't want his flowers to die. I mean... stupidly emotional over flowers. But I just wanted them to survive the move more than anything. I've been watering them a lot to make sure they do okay after being transplanted and divided.
Today is super hot so I went over to water them after the gym, and...
Won't flower anymore, huh?
This is one I divided.
The other half of the one I divided.
I think Happy likes my new house.
Bonus, I got my backyard garden mostly planted too, and broke down and bought mulch to finish it off. I hope nobody tries to eat mulch and chokes to death on it. Sigh.

I'm feeling really good these days. I never thought the end of a relationship would feel so good, honestly.
I'm too young to be stuck in one place for the rest of my life. I've enjoyed meeting so many new people in the last month, have joined the gym and gone daily, I'm eating healthier, doing more with my dogs and advancing a lot of amazing skills. Money is falling back into place and I have a lot of amazing job opportunities. I just feel so at peace and stress-free finally.
