Wanted: NOW!

I've never been very good at waiting for things. I've never, for example, ever 'saved up' for something I wanted - that's what credit cards are for! Even when it comes to men, I don't think I've ever done the whole 'Rules' thing - no, if I wanted to have sex with someone, I was going to have sex with them TONIGHT! And as for life-changing decisions? No, of course I'm not going to think it all through, plan it all out... I'm just going to do it NOW and sort out any problems once they appear.

And so it seems ironic that now my whole life feels like it's on hold waiting for various pieces to drop into place:

We can't move to Brighton until we have jobs
We can't start looking for jobs until we have the money to move
We won't have the money to move until I receive my inheritance*
I won't receive my inheritance* until the lawyers do whatever it is they have to do

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Boring, boring, boring.

I want what I want, and I want it NOW!

*I am neither grabby, insensitive, nor mercenary. I am a realist, and I'm not particularly sentimental. As far as I'm concerned, if I leave people money when I die, I won't mind at all if they're keen to get it, as long as they're using it to make their lives better and happier - as I am, in this case.
