hyperventilating panic freak out

So, I think we just bought a house.

Including these stairs.

in three weeks we will own these stairs

But my husband is in a meeting so he doesn’t even know it yet.

(I realize this sounds crazy. We have been in a battle of the counter-offers since Tuesday, and I think we just finally reached a middle ground. We haven’t exactly signed on the dotted line yet, so it’s not too late. But it’s basically a done deal.)

And now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go back to freaking out.
