I took a minute to look back on what I was writing on LiveJournal a year ago. What a difference a year makes… or does it:
- Last year at this time, we were starting to look at houses, and I was doing a lot of posts on housing. ellipticcurve had just opened escrow on her place, and the bug had bit us. So what’s happened? We did get the new place, and we’re now in the middle of refinancing it to get rid of the option ARM. Given how interest rates have gone (we didn’t predict that right), we’re looking at a 5-yr fixed, as the rates on 30-year jumbos just make the payments untenable. So we’re doing the closing cost upfront/later dance.
- Last year at this time, I was scheduling my sinus surgery. I’ve since had it, with mixed results. Slightly less migraines, but I’m much more sensitive to pressure changes and incoming weather systems (for example, I have a headache today). I still have medical stuff on my mind, as I fell in the tub on a business trip about a month ago, and my shoulder and ankle are still sore. A week from today starts two days of medical stuff: annual checkup, dental checkup, eye checkup. I hope they pronounce me alive.
- Last year I was figuring out when I would to go the So Cal Ren Faire. This year we know: April 29. If you’re in So Cal that day, join us. Other April weekends are full as well: Forever Plaid tomorrow at Cabrillo Music Theatre, Camp Visit Day on Sunday, As You Like It at the Pasadena Playhouse on the 8th, the spring Rail Festival at Orange Empire the weekend of the 22nd/23rd.
So what was happening with you a year ago?
