Nine years
It was a day for some reflection today, on a few things ( Read more... ) -
Gran
It's been a week. I suppose it's time to talk about Gran ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Turns out that Gran had her surgery yesterday. I had talked to the hospital in the morning asking for authorization for "soft restraints" because Gran kept pulling out her IV (which is standard for Gran. She did that the last time she was hospitalized). At that time, they didn't know the schedule for the procedure, so I figured it was probably ( Read more... ) -
Gran developments
I'm guessing nobody even reads this any more, but it's the best place I can think of to document things as they're going on ( Read more... ) -
Dan
Every several months, Rick says to me, "You're due to hear from Dan soon." I always say, "No, I won't hear from him again. I don't have anything he wants." Rick replies, "I think you will."

I've legitimately had a good reason for the last three days, but none before that.- We closed on House 3 last Friday, no thanks to the title company or the seller's agent (who was also the seller). It's been a awhile since we've done this kind of thing, but getting people ( Read more... )

House 3
So....there were multiple offers on House 2, but it eventually came down to two offers: ours and someone else's. They asked for "last and best" final offers. We sent ours in. We found out that the other offer not only offered $30k over the asking price, but also waived all contingencies. There is NO way we're even going there (price wise nor ( Read more... ) -
House 2
So, we're going to put an offer in on House 2. House 1 wasn't a very serious consideration, mostly because there had been zero updating done, and they kept some of the original architecture - weirdly, there was a closet built in the middle of the living room right when you come in. Not needed structurally, but really broke up the flow of the ( Read more... )
