Upside Down, Inside Out, and Backwards

My life has been a roller coaster lately, driving my mood from 0 to 65 in 2.5 seconds and then plummeting it to ground level at an alarming speed. No, I'm not bi-polar (I don't think), but I feel like the events ocurring in my life right now are so huge that they have an instantaneous effect on my happiness. For one, I'm supposed to be moving out of my grandparent's house into my own lease tomorrow. Of course, now that move in is upon us and the lease is scheduled to be signed in less that a week, I'm not short two roommates. Rose to high...plummeted to low. The fact that my family has been fighting incessantly all week and dragging me into it even though I keep trying to claw my way out isn't helping. Nor is the hacking cough and cold or the blazing ear infection either. By the time I get home from my insanely-traffic-filled drive home from work, I no longer have any energy to make dinner let alone clean, so my room and car are a horrific mess. Ultimately, my biggest concern is moving into my house so the roommate situation is my priority right now. I'm so excited! And yet, I'm trying not to be. Somehow when things seem too good to be true, they usually are and that's how I've felt throughout all the dealings with this rental. It's supposed to be done today and I'm supposed to move in this weekend but my heart won't sit still until I know what's going on with my roommates.
