G'evening friends!
First, thanks to those of you who played 'Water Cooler Wednesday.' That was fun, getting to know y'all a little better! WCW will be back in a few days, but I wanted to share an update re. our planned pilgrimage.
... Color me banging head against wall. Why on earth did I think this process would be fun?
Yes, we closed on the Coosada house a few weeks ago. But! If it hadn't meant losing our down payment, I was seriously ready to walk away. 'Not sure what 'pre-approved' means in this day and age, but at the last minute the underwriter decided she needed to see a 1099 from 2015. (... and guess who discovered that was the only document from our tax file she - Ms. Uber-Organized - couldn't find?) Then 24 hours prior to the scheduled close, we learned our local banks are only permitted to notarize sale documents ... they're not allowed to witness a signature. What's that all about? (8PM we're knocking on the neighbor's door asking them for their signatures. *sigh*) I'm guessing the housing debacle of '08 has something to do with them being so picky?
God bless that blizzard that swept through Georgia and Alabama for postponing the close!

And God bless my son for driving up to check on Chapman Drive each Friday! How well he knows my propensity for imagining the worst that could (and can) happen!

So this place went on the market Wednesday. So far, there've been 4 walk-throughs, but no nibbles. 'Miz Instant Gratification' here is close to stroking out.
To be honest, I'm not especially happy about the photos ... or the listing price. My gut thinks the price is too high, but our agent ran comps and says we can always lower it.
I'm just so ready to be done, you know?

Meanwhile, back at the workplace.
Some of you may recall, I was more than a little concerned about being furloughed. Nevertheless I put a little extra 'oomph' into my self-evaluation ... but wasn't expecting much.
Go figure! For the first time in 15 years they rated me 'exceptional' ... my boss even went to corporate to get an exception to my salary cap. SMDH ..... I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
On the bright side, the forecast claims we're supposed to enjoy cooler temps this week, so I've another chance to wear my sweaters. Simple pleasures!  |
'Til next time, have yourselves a sweet new week and stay safe!
Hugs from Phoenix,
Myra
