Month: June 2016

I won’t sugar coat it, it kinda’ blows not closing on the new house tomorrow.  I understand all the new mortgage rules, but its financially stifling.  I was on a soap box but deleted the rant.  Hopefully we can close sometime mid-next week after the holiday.  I just want to get this done, get my new wood floors in, and sit on my new patio, have a beer, and contemplate Hawaii and football.  Somehow, someway, someone is letting me stream music via XM JavaScript.  Thank god.  I forgot how lame it was to work without music.  We still have a shitload of work packing boxes to move.

Seems weird with the kids moved out.

I am really glad we are not moving far and will have 2 houses so we can get stuff coordinated – at least for a bit.  Everything is coming together.  Takes a lot of planning and coordination though.  Speaking of which, I think this Tai Chi practice is working out. Can’t wait till I have a basement to practice in.  Packing every spare minute is for the birds.  I want to sit and watch TV.  Yea, I know – no hockey, no football, no rugby, no basketball.  Just baseball and golf >yawn<.  Wish I didn’t have to pack my art stuff, some plein-air painting sounds good right about now.  I got sucked into this “Game of War” crap.  More about that later.

While the fair lady movement seems simple from a superficial standpoint, it definitely takes coordination to move forward or twist step while doing it.  Another day of frustration and the learning process.  Throw the four directions in – forget it.

Well, I’m going to try to learn the guitar again.  For the 3rd time.  I won’t start trying again until I am in the new house.  Actually, I feel as if life has been on hold until we get into the new house.  Time is tickin’ from the monthly standpoint, but it seems as if time is going slowly from the daily standpoint.  3 guys over to look at the house, 3 estimates, no emails with said estimates.  Can’t anyone get it done?  I mean use an ounce of technology and get the quotes emailed – WTF?  Maybe I need to stop using my last name which no one can write down correctly, and start using ratpuke7.  The buyers lawyer (at least I think it’s the buyers lawyer) is aggravating the crap out of me almost to the point of me telling them to go pound sand.  Well, got the quote from the contractor.  Good price – it’s a go.  We shall see.
