It's Sunday. My sister CL & niece CL2 are supposed to come tonight to spend part of the week. I should be cleaning house, but instead I am enjoying the quiet. The house is SO QUIET without R here. The only sounds come from the animals and the AC units, except when I crank up some tunes. I am sipping my latte, and soon to make a grilled sandwich of cheddar, avocado, and tomato.
I am surprisingly not sad today. I think last night was good for me- getting out, dancing with friends to music I love, hot women shoving their boobs in my face: these really work wonders for the mood.
Latest house news: there was some friction last week because the seller (FNMA) was refusing to extend the closing date. The original close date was August 30, but R was going to be on vacation and we had been told that extending was not a problem... until last week, when suddenly it was. The seller was saying they wouldn't extend. R pointed out that they had not finished the required repairs, that there was no way they would close by the 30: they had to finish the repairs, then report that, then the appraiser had to come out and appraise the repairs, then the appraiser had to file a report saying s/he had seen the repairs and they were finished to specifications. There was just. no. way. that the house was going to be ready to close on the 30th. It was stupid for the FNMA agent to say they wouldn't sign the extension.
R finally told our realtor, "Here's the extension, either they sign it or we walk." He was fed up. He left for Burning Man still not knowing whether or not we would get the house. Yesterday our agent emailed me to say that the seller had signed the extension. I texted R to let him know. Our new close date is September 10. I am SO. ready to move. This morning the house was delisted from HAR.com. Tomorrow I will email our landlord to let her know we are leaving.
It's sandwich time.
