hello, Murphy, wondered when you'd show up

[jaeclectic]

Happy Sign o' the Beast Day, happy election day, happy Birthday Eve to podle, and happy anything or nothing to one and all!

On the real estate front: I am now officially under contract for the place on Lakeshore, which means:
- inspections
- need to review HOA docs
- paperwork with mortgage brokers
- and I have the next 10 days to back out

My mood about Lakeshore is actually quite good. I am feeling calm about furniture arrangement, pleased about the view and the closet space, and capable of dealing with the renovation wrangling. It's still an arranged marriage rather than true love, but I feel like it can work.

Therefore, as expected, Murphy's Law dictated that something else would finally come on the market! There is a listing today for a place in Adam's Point that is not quite a perfect location, but apparently move-in condition, already has hardwood floors, and is much much much cheaper (presumably because it only has one bathroom, which is fine with me, being only one person and not having all that many houseguests!)

So... continue to watch this space.

Ooooh! Go see the new place. You have time to back out, still, maybe this other place will be true love.

Thank you for my birthday eve wishes and good luck with the home-hunting!
