Thanks Ami and Write. I don't want to get TOO excited, just in case, but I can't help it. I'm really excited. And some of the nightmare might be over. The court date to dismiss the judgement against me is in two weeks, so that will be taken care of too, then we just have to get this creditor to leave me alone, or whatever else the lawyer wants to do. I can't help making a list of things I will need to buy for my new home. The only drawback is that if it does go well and I get it, I'll have it sooner than I'd planned, so I won't be packed or ready to move at all. That will suck.
And I'm dreading the I'm moving out discussion. I have to give myself a few days to rehearse that in my head. I don't think it will go well. I can just imagine all sorts of wailing, door slamming, silent treatments, sniping, back biting, threats, etc. Probably similar to what I got the other morning. And no doubt, "you think you're so smart" at some point. I figure it could work out well. I could take off work a few days get the new place cleaned, our stuff packed, move the little things and move the big stuff over a weekend.
