Where have I been?

It's been an interesting week. I'd no sooner gotten used to not working when I got almost two full-weeks of work at the old job. Of course, this is when my life decided to go crazy on me and we got into a bid/counter-bid situation on the condo that resulted in a sale. Yesterday was the inspection. As far as I can tell, that went okay--except our thermostat's battery picked that very moment to die, resulting in a panic call from our agent to the DH. I was at work so I didn't have to deal with it.

So, yay sold. Now all we need to do is have a place to go. This has become more complicated than I expected since the property we want is bank-owned. You'd think they'd want to sell it, right? Well, we're having a hard time getting information out of them, and when I hear from my agent it sounds like there are different rules governing bank sales than regular sales so . . . research is in order.

When I'm not packing, that is.

I see it this way. At the end of escrow we'll either have a place to live, or we won't. If we don't, the DH and I will hit the road and gypsy our way around California. Could be fun, although I doubt the Pooh will like it.

Poohs don't like cars.

Congrats on selling! That's awesome. Even if it means you're homeless for a bit.

It's a weird market out there. We thought we had our house in New Orleans sold in May, then right before the inspection they changed their minds. The realtor said that was common nowadays, at least in New Orleans. So congratulations, but also good luck that everything goes through ok.
