Thursday, February 5

I have been on quite a whirlwind this week.

Monday afternoon I got a call from a friend who knew I was going to move through this blog.  She had a friend looking for a house so she suggested he call me.  He came over late Monday, looked at the house and made me an offer.

I had made an appointment with the real estate agent for Tuesday morning but didn't need to keep that appointment.  Just sold him the house.

That same day got a counter offer on the house in Arlington.  It was not going to work for us so we countered back.  This went on through yesterday when we finally reached a deal.  So in four days I sold a house and bought a house.  Needless to say I have been "chasing my tail".  Paperwork, phone calls, etc.  It was made a lot worse because my scanner doesn't work and email was up and down on Tuesday and Wednesday.  I was able to take documents to the bank and get them sent and went to the title company and got the help I needed on the sale of this house.  It is pretty simple because he is paying cash.

Anyway, how cool is that??  I never would have believed it if anyone had told me that is the way it would happen.  One of the good things is I was able to negotiate a date for moving that will give me several days after the closing on the house and will allow me to still take my trip.  So I can take until the 10th of April to move.  That takes some of the pressure off.

I have to go to Dallas on Monday for the inspection on the property.  Hopefully it will turn out good.  Hate to think about having to start over on that end.

Cowboy had dental work on Tuesday so I went over to be there at 8:30.  He had a deep cleaning on one side of his mouth and a filling.  On the 19th they will deep clean the other side and fill the other two teeth.  He did pretty well but he bled a lot.  Afterwards we went back to his room and he was rather worn out and started napping.  Said he felt OK but I stayed for a couple of hours to be sure he wasn't bleeding or uncomfortable.

I told Cowboy about the move again and he said he is OK with it.  I am not sure if he gets it but so be it.

I am planning to go see Cowboy tomorrow but the weather forecast is for it to be below freezing and maybe some sleet and snow.  Will have to play it by ear.  Will either not go or go later if it is bad in the morning.
