Pick me up and put me down, spin my whole damn world around...
I meant to say this yesterday and got distracted by a random meltdown that I am still not over. But.
Y'know how I said a few days ago that negotiations on the house with the big yard of awesome fell through? We found out when we were with the realtor that the reason they fell through was because
thatrainbow's father was being insane for no good reason.
One angry email later, and we seem to be okay again. Inspection still needs to happen. And I still don't know if turning the garage into a second house for renting is allowed or not (the garage is actually bigger than the house - not by much, but it is). But the estimated close date is around the middle of September and holy crap we might have a house after all.
Our car is back from the mechanic - not because it's fixed, but because it's the next thing to dead and it is not worth replacing the engine to get it running again.
thatrainbow is still driving to work, but we are desperately hoping her dad will help us acquire a new car before this one gives up the ghost entirely, because there is no way we can afford one on our own.
I warned her years ago that naming the thing Koschei was a bad idea, and that it was bound to die at the worst possible time. AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW. We're naming the eventual new one something different. I am personally voting for Backup (though tyriangalley suggested Sexy Thing, and I kind of like that too...).
Annnnd I think I need to put the computer away now because I have been sick all day and my head hurts and the bright shiny screen isn't helping.
