(no subject)
My heart leapt into my mouth when I heard I had a voice mail from the owner of the covet house. But when I called him, it was just so that he could tell me he hadn't forgotten about us, but things like credit checks slow down around the holidays. We would probably hear from him one way or the other Monday or Tuesday.
On the one hand, he seemed like he was motivated to get somebody in there pretty soon. (Which could be both good and bad for us, but at least he's not inclined to wait around, to pick and choose.) And it also sounded like he's only had maybe one other serious contender.
On the other hand, if he's going to put much stock in our credit rating? Never mind. Nice knowing you.
Curse him. Curse him for making me wonder, and hope, again. We'd kind of cooled on the whole thing, and I suddeny realized that I'd kind of decided that we weren't getting it. Today, it's back to "ooh, just think of it ... What if ... ?"
