Well, darn

The buyer on our Austin house is backing out of the deal. She loses money that she paid for her option on it. But it was not nice of her to wait until the last minute to back out - our agent could have been showing the house this past weekend! Anyway, silver lining is that this automatically gets us out of our contract on the house we offered for here, regardless of mold, since it had a contingency clause in it about having our house under contract no later than July 16. So the only real thing we're out is the time it's taken us to run around doing paperwork so far, plus we need to go over to the apartment office and tell them we're not leaving so soon after all.

With that in mind, we really need to unpack a bit more here than we have so far. We've been coasting. But we need to make the kitchen more usable, so we aren't eating out so much, and I have to get a clear path to the armchair; crocheting and knitting in my computer chair just doesn't cut it.

Oh well. It'll keep us busy for a bit.

I'm kind of confused (nothing unusual here)

So, are you having to move back to Austin, or???

Also - are you a member of the PetBunny LISTSERV? (If so, I'm SA's mom)

Best wishes & good luck with all this. I moved some while I was in the Navy (I was a musician, so I didn't move as much as some folks did). But I wasn't all that fond of moving. What a mess. Lots of positive vibes to you & hoping that things go all right & you get a decent buyer for your Austin house.

No, not moving back to Austin - just living in this apartment for a while longer. We are renting a 2-bedroom apt in the suburbs of Baltimore, and I am not crazy about being in an apartment or in the suburbs, but it's still a vast improvement over Austin. I love your viking bunny icon. I get the Petbunny digest but I don't have time to read it every day, only once in a great while.

Don't be like everyone else on the planet and diss on Austin.

I've been dissing on Austin for 24 years, why the heck should I stop now??

Incidentally, how are you? Job? How's Joe? Squeeze the girls from me!

I don't know, it seems wronger doing it from the East Coast.

Wow, it has been a looong time since I updated...I should think about doing that. But to answer: I am fine, gainfully employed, Joe is well and bitchy, of course--the girls miss their foster mama!

email me and tell me about this gainful employment! Last thing I heard was that you and the MD phones were parting company? Or did I hear even that much wrong?
