One last time.

[constance]

Yesterday, I sent off my last, desperate attempt to own a house to my real estate agent. I didn't hold out much hope; after more delays and misunderstandings and contract revisions and intitials and signatures and forms and verifications and inspections and appraisals and faxes (OH MY GOD THE ENDLESS FAXES), it seemed as though everything was going just right enough to keep going, but wrong enough that the keeping going was completely pointless. And if my blood pressure was high two weeks ago, who knows what it was yesterday as I waved that fax goodbye.

This morning I got a call from my realtor, though, and BY GOD THAT HOUSE IS MINE. Or at least it will be, if things go as planned which HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, on December 23rd. This is my Christmas present to myself: an empty bank account, a house full of packing boxes, three freaked-out pets, and one newly-repaired hundred-year-old house.

All day, I have barely been able to speak, barely been able to sit still. I feel like bursting into tears. I am completely petrified. Also so goddamned happy.

!!!!!!!! Happy house! That must be so exciting. Bachelor No. 2 is pretty much confirmed as Mr. Right -- when does it look like you're moving in?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I think I'm going to be moving sometime during the first couple of weeks in January, depending on when I can get people to move me--but I'll be carting stuff back and forth, most likely, as soon as I get the keys.

:D:D:D:D:D

And now it seems all that nerve-wreck had a purpose! (It never does, though, sadly.) A mighty chorus of congratulations on my behalf.

Oh, well! I like working myself into outwardly invisible States, so it all works out in the end. :D:D:D:D:D

Dahlia! You aren't coming to Atlanta any time soon? Don't you want to meet up and be dragged back for the grand tour?

[dahlia-777.livejournal.com]

You're very sweet. But not any time soon. My finances are a bit constrained right now - I'm saving up to sort out the damp. <3333
