tuesday equals vacation I've reached a decision. I am going to buy a house. Yes, I know that I have talked about it before, but now I am ready to make it happen. This fall would be nice, but I think that next spring is more realistic. A number of factors have led to this decision. First of all I need a change in scenery. I have been here five years now and need a place to call my own. I need something that I can slowly shape to reflect me. Secondly I would like to live closer to the woman that I am seeing. At the moment thirty plus miles separate us and moving out of city is starting to sound more appealing to me. For example when She was here on Monday night, she commented on all of the police sirens that she heard and this took me by surprise. Somewhere along the way I had become used to hearing them. It had become background noise to me and I don't want it to be that way anymore. People may not think of Milwaukee as a major city, but we do still have a fair amount of violent crime and my getting some distance from that would be a good move. Finally I am starting to loathe my downstairs neighbor more and more. The woman is so dense and all of her little habits are becoming less and less tolerable. A grown woman should know how not to slam a door. A grown woman should know how not to jam the button on the garage door opener. I can't think of anymore things that she does that annoy me, but the list is growing and to be free of her would be a welcome thing. ... For next year, I picked up some travel books on Denmark and Sweden. Sadly I never realized that the two countries were that close to one another. I also have a feeling that they are going to be very different from what I have already seen in Europe. Then again I don't want to repeat myself.
