To buy or not to buy, or who wants a cat

There is so much to do before I leave.  I am trying to figure out if I have the funds to purchase a laptop.  It would make it much easier to talk to everyone back home.  Plus, I would have a laptop.  I also need to find a home for my two very adorable and loving cats (anyone want a cat?).  My brain is kind of...reeling. Sometimes I manage to get myself into crazy situations with my impulsivity.  So now I am going to germany.  Germany! .  I doesn't quite seem real.
