The latest update

My Temporary Digs have just become very temporary. I just had an offer accepted for a nice, new house five minutes from my Grandmother, about 15 minutes to Salem and about 30 minutes from Corvallis. It's a new house on .50 acres, butted up to a school but the house is well away from the edge. Three bedrooms, two baths, a huge vanity, open floor plan, two-car garage, and its own new septic and well, and a well-built shed, partially fenced and fairly private. The price was dropped $18,000 from the original listing in March, possibly because it was listed incorrectly and because it's fairly hard to find. We wouldn't have been able to find it ourselves, without the navigational skills of the BF. It was, of course, the fifth house we looked at yesterday. I will be moving in about the beginning of August.

I'm back in the dojo today, after having been gone a week for most of the week to a wedding with Tamarta, and going to baseball games with my Dad. I can travel fairly well with her, and she is becoming very high on my priority lists in my life. My dissertation has been much less of a priority, and there is still no word about whether or not I am eligible for an internship this year.

This week? Lots of time catching up on voicemail, email, and work projects. Oh, and a housing inspection. And baseball. Also, I'll be leaving this Friday for CA to visit some friends.
