Did you ever read Dune by Frank Herbert? It's kind of a sci-fi classic, but I never finished it. I got stuck in the part where the main character started to see all these diverging futures, and it made him a little insane. I can kind of understand that because I'm dealing with no more than three, and it's wearing me out.
In one most likely future, I stay here with my current job but purchase a decent condo or townhome to move into when my lease expires this summer. (Other variations involve extending my lease 3-6 months and going after the perfect short sale home and possibly getting a roommate or subletting from someone else/moving in as someone else's roommate while looking for that short sale home, thus necessitating two moves in the space of a year, which is . . . problematic.)
In the other future, I get a job elsewhere, and I have to purchase a condo or townhome in another state to move into this summer at the same time as I start the new job. House hunting from afar is . . . difficult.
The timing is bad/good because I think I'll likely end up moving at the same time either way, so there will definitely be packing, and I can get a head start on that. See? I can be positive!
The closer I get to the divergence, the more I feel like I'm living two lives. I have to put all my eggs in both baskets because there will be serious repercussions and difficulties if I neglect one or the other. I thought I was having enough trouble trying to fully commit to one life.
Well, Paul (if that was your name) I think with your tons of future vision diverging paths, you were entitled to a little bit of insanity.
