We've moved in for the most part but the closing won't be for another couple weeks. The buyers gave us possession and have yet to get a copper penny. I'd think that would be risky for them... good thing I absolutely LOVE it here. Take my money! There's a lot I want to...

a to do list i can’t do yet
I'm to the point that even my dreams are filled with thoughts of packing and moving. It's not enough that I spend time during the day to pack, but I do it all night too. A month long hiatus. I told my brother and boss on 8/15/22 that I was taking a full month off....
check, check and check
Washer full. Check. Dryer full. Check. Dishwasher full. Check. Daylight... ummm... nope! This night owl is breaking all the sleep late rules. Up early getting things done around here although not on purpose. A tentative priority list. I have a list in my head of the...
checking out a home tomorrow to avoid being homeless
I'll be looking at a house tomorrow and I'm not sure if I should be excited, nervous, or just blah. I know I don't want to be homeless. I know moving is going to suck. Other than that, I'm not even sure what I want or what I'm looking for. What I am NOT looking for is...
home inspections – racket?
So I got the report for the home inspection of the city house. The buyer -- or the buyer's realtor -- orders the inspection and they get the report first. It's then sent to the seller's (ME!) realtor who then provides the report for agreement to repair. At first, I...
this ain’t no new build
The home inspector did the first pass today and has scheduled 3-4 hours on Wednesday of this week. He let me know he would be checking every outlet, every window, etc. What the actual eff? When I sold the Villa, it had to be inspected. It was supposed to be really...
the bad b*tches of Lasher Drive
Dharma and Merida rule their domain with a stern paw. While they were on patrol, a squirrel decided to run the length of the yard on top of the privacy fence. They spotted it immediately. The brave squirrel flicked its tail the entire sprint. That only infuriated the...
drizzle and flies
Sitting this morning in the sunroom of the house waiting to be sold, I'm surrounded by flies. ARG! It's drizzling outside so they all want inside. I'm guarding my coffee like it's my job! Dogs don't care. The doggos could care less if flies light on them. They don't...
i keep checking for “pending”
Driving around yesterday, we looked at the house that must sell for our offer to go through. There were a bunch of cars in their driveway. Nobody wipes my sweat! Besides all the cars, the next door neighbor -- an older man (mid-70's at least!) -- was mowing his grass....
