Labor Day weekend and my latest digital pet

Called an agent to see if we could see some houses. One of the houses was no longer available, but she thinks we could see the others on Sunday and Tuesday morning. She has to check with the owners and then she'll get back to me. Hope it works out, since it's not easy for us to head up there any ole time. I checked my credit score for the first time ever, and it's excellent, hooray! Mom said we should work on getting a letter of pre-approval from a bank. Colin is confident we can get one, we're just not sure exactly how to do it. We'll talk to her more about it when we get there. We leave tomorrow morning, hope we can get through Milwaukee before 11. She texted me a few more links today for houses, but none of them appeal to us. Colin found one more we both like, and it's a good price. When I spoke to the agent earlier, she noted that one house was much cheaper than the others, and asked why we liked that one. I answered that we were looking at both 2 bed and 3 bed homes, since I wanted to look at 3 bed and Colin thought 2 bed would be better. I said the 2 bed checked things we were looking for, including a basement. She asked what kind of basement we wanted, and I said basically any kind of basement would be good for me since I want a place to hunker down in case of a bad storm or tornado. She laughed and said they rarely get tornadoes, I said I know but I just want a basement. It felt awkward, didn't want to come out and say "Yeah but I'm seriously afraid of tornadoes and every time there's a storm I'm afraid it will turn into a tornado." I blame the tornado movies I saw as a kid.

I'm getting really excited about moving. Took our cat Cowboy to the vet yesterday and she said she could prescribe some soothing medicine for him to take before the move, that puts my mind more at ease. Colin seems to be getting more excited about moving too, as opposed to just stressed out. For a while I was worried that he would rather put everything off than get ready. But since he showed me a house he liked, I know he's getting more into it. Hope we can get that pre-approval from the bank soon, and that Colin will make time to see if he can keep his job and work remotely.

Another thing I'm looking forward to when we move is visiting with my brother more often. He keeps to himself, and he has anxiety like me. Not exactly like me, but I know it affects his life just as much if not moreso than mine. It will be good to see how he's doing for myself. It's good to have people around that you can relate to, and support each other.

My Giga Pet AR puppy arrived, and it's awesome! You can feed her and give her treats and teach her tricks and clean up her poop and give her a bath and throw her a frisbee and play fetch and look at meters for her happiness and hunger and cleanliness and discipline and take her to the vet and tell her to go to sleep and unlock achievements and she has cute animations yay! You can also get an app to go along with it on your phone but you don't have to, and I haven't bothered. I'll be bringing her with me everywhere :)
