All in the timing

It seems like just about the time I get my life back in a neat order the universe conspires against me. It can't just order itself in such a way that at the very least I am having one life-changing event at a time transpiring. But no. Why on earth would that happen? It's not necessarily bad this time. In fact most of it is good. But even the good stuff can only be handled one day at a time. I got the word today that we'll be closing at the latest Friday. We're hoping to get it done tomorrow, but we may not have the insurance taken care of. On top of that, my grandfather is dying. That's the bad. It's just a repeat of last year. Almost to the day. I don't know what I'm going to do if I lose another grandparent in my birth month. I suppose I'll handle it just like I did this time last year. We'll see. Also, Steph will be moving down here in a week. While I have some qualms about that (for both Andy's sake and hers) I am excited to have another woman to hang out with. I hope things work out for all parties, but I can't help but be nervous about it (even though Clint thinks I'm an evil, evil person for having adverse thoughts, but that's another story). To top it off, I'm getting even closer to graduation and a real job. It's all moving so fast. I don't know what to think. I want to cling to the walls of the ivory tower of academia, but I can't stay here forever. I don't belong here. I belong out there. It just scares me to think that.

Random tidbit for the day: All In The Timing is the name of one of my favorite collection of short plays. It's amazing. Check it out.
