Besides the fact that he should have gotten his ass handed to him by Gilbert in the first round of the playoffs, there are these two lovely moments in the public eye:
All right, it’s Monday, which means one of two things: either (1) time for a fresh start, or (2) why not blog because it’s a good way to kill time at work! I survived my move to the new place, although there is still some stuff at the old place (isn’t there always?). Now I would like everything to magically unpack itself. As for the old place, after more fraught negotiations we finally signed the Purchase and Sale agreement with the person craz—I mean, discriminating—enough to want to buy it. Meanwhile, the few times I’ve gone back over there to get more stuff, those heavy-footed moose upstairs have been engaged in vigorous bowling tournaments as always. In other words, good riddance to them.
Once things get a little tidier in the new pad, maybe I’ll post some pictures. So far, I’m warming up to its charms fairly quickly, which is good because I’m usually pretty squirrelly in new surroundings for a while: everything smells kind of weird, things creak in unfamiliar ways, and I’m not settled into any routines. I’m not a huge fan of other people’s dirt, either, so as it gets overlaid with my own I should be fine.
Many times during the last few months I’ve wondered why the hell I put myself through this. But now that the whole process is in the final stretch, maybe, just maybe I can start to feel optimistic about it. Hey, that’s pretty positive from Dr. Cynical over here. Did someone spike my drink?
All right, after closing on our new house last Monday, I started getting seriously worried about whether anyone would want to buy the old place. I’m not too keen on carrying three mortgages at the same time, that’s for sure. And since the move date is May 12, I was also getting antsy because I’ve been holding off packing so that the place will show as nicely as possible.
Fortunately, after a small price drop, we got another offer this past Friday, and unlike the first one it’s solid and reasonable. So everybody’s signed off on it, and we’re now under agreement! Fingers are crossed that the home inspection goes well. And now there’s no excuse, I need to start tearing this place apart and stuffing it into boxes. So, enough screwing around on Blogger, heh.
