House for to hurry up and sell!

[shannenigans]

So, my Dad's house has been on the market since May, and narry a nibble.  It's in great shape, is a good deal, and we thought it would have sold by now, but the market is in the toilet right now, and the worry and financial strain are getting to me.  We are paying a mortgage and rent, and it is getting tough.  We have some room to wait, but the longer we do, the faster the nest egg disappears.  If we play this right, we could probably buy a house here in Austin outright, which would give us a chance to build said nest egg back up, but grrr, I wants it handled NOW!  I am not so much tha good with tha patience.  You'd think, with all the lessons I've had in my life with patience that I might have gained a little footing with that particular virtue, but no.  I have learned that virtues are virtuous because they are trying and hard.

So yeah, anyone want to buy an adorable house right outside of Galveston with a boat lift on a canal?

Job fu is picking up, but not as much as I would like.  Part of that is that I am splitting my time between working and taking care of Dad, and I don't feel like I am doing either one of them as well as I could be.  Mainly, I am frustrated.  Universe, it's time for something to give!
