And you're going to hear me roar

I am definitely back up to full strength today. We went out to the rather large town to the south and viewed some potential homes with my parents. Depending on where the next year plays out in terms of jobs for my father, they may or may not move close to us. Which is a good thing. With my questionable living situation and uncertainty of next fall, I have offered to become their troll living in their basement who sometimes comes out to clean the rest of the house. Yeah, it's not very good if a 22 year old goes back and lives with their parents, but if they get too big of a house, I am willing to help them out with it. 

Several of the places we looked at had enormous basements that could totally house a separate family. The last house we looked at was the most recently built and was in a gated community. It reminded me a lot of where we used to live in California. I liked that. Some of the other places were extreme fixer-uppers and wouldn't be worth it unless we were suddenly millionaires. 

But, it did give me a chance to think about what kind of house I could see myself living in, possibly with a family of my own. So far the only thing I'm definitely looking for is walking distance to a grocery store. I've had that in the last several (some only a few blocks away, some further) I've lived, and it is a wonderful thing. It encourages me to excersize too. 

My parents leave tomorrow, so I am going to have an early breakfast with them, then it is off to school for me. I hope this semester isn't a total shit storm like the last one. . . Hopefully with less flooding too. .
