....and we're waiting...
This whole house thingy is taking FOREVER!! Call this and sign that and wait and wait...we finally got a loan approved this morning (not that we had problems with that, we both have excellent credit record, but our mortgage person wanted to wait until the new rates were out to make a decision.
Only four months left...well less than four months now. More like 113 days. I refuse to countdown unless we're past the 100 days deadline, it's too depressing. The kids both caught their first cold and are coughing like mad, especially Émile who has really sensitive bronchi and is forced to live in a house covered in cheap shitty industrial carpets that must me at least 40 years-old. AND his room, being poorly build and insulated, has TWO walls lined with baseboard heaters. The air is so dry, the humidificator can barely cut through. But when we requested permission to remove the old carpeting in his room the renting company refused, unless we agreed to renegociate the lease first (upping the rent). Fuck these bastards. Seriously, I just can't wait to see them trying to find a new tenant for this ugly place. At the price they charge. Yeaaah no. I also hope they don't expect me to keep the place extra-tidy to sweeten it up.
Anyway I'm trying to be really positive about this. Just...RAGE-positive.
I'm not buying much for the new house but I will DEFINITELY require a Samsung electronic tablet (Sorry iPad, I can't live without an USB port!), a Roomba, a ridiculously comfy chair/lounging thing for the solarium, and a pair of stone lions to put on the lawn and dress up all year long. And a compost box. Not that bad uh? I'm even scouring the secondhand pages to get the obscenely comfy chair secondhand.
