Well, I wish I could offer you some good news, but I'm afraid that we still haven't exchanged. I am so wound up about it, I am about to chew my own foot off like a rat in a trap. Except that I'm not physically in a trap and having only one foot wouldn't do anyone any good.
In an attempt to keep myself from starting to run around in circles like a troubled dog, I have been looking for the silver linings in the situation. Surprisingly, there are a few.
Our main point of dispute with our buyers is now a moot point. They wanted us to move out on the 29th, we couldn't move in to the new house until the 30th, they insisted we let them make us homeless for a night (seriously, they are a young couple with no kids or pets, we have two young children and a cat - who do you think would find it easier to find a place to sleep for one night?). We have to have five days between exchange and completion, so the earliest everyone can move now is the 30th.
Moving out and in on the same day means we don't have to board the cat next week, we don't have to stay in a hotel, and, as the Ambriento van wasn't at the Northcross Road market this week, I have one more week in which to enjoy delicious tacos. If it stretches out further, and there are still spots, we may even get to go to the awesome November supper club at Suzanne James.
I'm going to think about even more nice things while I continue my Thanksgiving dinner prep. Today is pie and stuffing day. Tomorrow is the main event. Woohoo!
