I’ve accepted the written agreement to break the lease! I’m glad I saved all of the boxes and packing materials from my move. I’m also going to be doing another round of decluttering so that there won’t be as much to move, though I still have far more books than anything else.

I also talked to a realtor this week, and I’m going to take the steps to get pre-approved for a mortgage next week.

Beyond that, I’m doing my best to stay in the holiday spirit. Only having to work for two days next week is definitely helping with that. I have plans to celebrate Yule tomorrow by having a quiet day at home and then making and eating a nice dinner. I was going to have that dinner on Christmas, but I’ll be getting together with a couple of friends for Chinese food that afternoon instead. The following week, I only have to work three days and then I’m off until the 5th, and I’m greatly looking forward to all of the rest I’ll hopefully get between now and then. After that, my life is going to get very busy again as I declutter, pack, and start looking at condos with my realtor.
