yet ANOTHER bewildering change in plans
'cause I know you are all on the edges of your seats.
We signed the papers TODAY, but we don't get the keys until FRIDAY. And if something takes longer than it should and we don't get the keys by Friday, we get to (drumroll please)
start over again at the very beginning.
Which is something I don't even want to THINK about, especially since we just paid five figures' worth of closing costs today, including back taxes which should in no way be our responsibility, much of which I'm very afraid is nonrefundable.
Someone please remind me that someday we'll be glad we did this because I am just not feelin' it right now.
I would say "in other news" at this point, and bring in either (a) a bit of self-deprecating levity or (b) a pertinent and eminently spiritual bit of wisdom (HA! haw HAW!), but I am not feelin' that either. So this is it until tomorrow. Or maybe the weekend. We'll see.

Deb, that's just the way it works. We sign all the documents, and then they go back to the lender and get checked over, and then the lender puts all the money into the Super Mega Mysterious Escrow Account, and then the title company sends the money from the escrow account to the people who get money (the seller, or in this case the bank, and the Realtors(R), and I don't know who all honestly), and we get the keys. That last part has to happen by Friday, or else; it's a deadline having to do with the loan from the state for the closing costs.

I don't know what else to say but. . . good luck!
Oh, and I do *hope* that someday you'll be glad you did this. When the waiting (and waiting) is over.
