So another night of non-sleep... or should I say a very poor 2 1/2 hours of sleep.
I'm running on about 5 hours or so since Monday.
I got up around midnight and walked the house for a long time.
Finally, around 3am I just said screw it and came in to work so I could try to get some solid undisturbed time in on my audit project data analysis.
This house thing is making me a total wreck.
I don't like feeling like I'm not in control of the situation.
I swore to myself I would make sure the next house had the right amount of time invested in it.
It doesn't help that Clintonville has nothing totally right to offer and there are no other neighborhoods I really would feel comfortable living in.

GET AN APARTMENT
Seriously, no matter what you "settle" on (HOT TUB), you're going to be complaining about everything that's wrong with it, why didn't you take more time, it's too much money, I hate the neighborhood, I should have waited...ad infinitum ad nauseaum.
As much as I am vicariously enjoying the house-hunting (I've been sending Giga listings all morning), you two should find yourselves an apartment. Leave everything in storage; my parents had a decent-sized closet for $35 a month. Dump the ghetto-licious House of Love and kick back and let things roll. You may decide you prefer renting again. You may chuck it all and move West. But quit killing yourself over this. Don't saddle yourself with a killer mortgage for a house you don't love.

I'm certain I don't know the area and options as well as Kel, and I know how hard it is out here to find rentals that allow Hoonts and meows, but I agree on not buying a house you don't want. It's too big a commitment, especially if you're going to be thinking that you had to 'settle.'
