For fear people are giving us money (ahem) and therefore won't be able to make the payments after the closing bit is all done.
Aha. Tell them you're a drug dealer, then.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The last minute charges are killing us. We had the inspection; which we expected and was covered by that mysterious money. But then there was an application fee, and then another mysterious fee, and the earnest money, which won't matter in the long run then but came earlier than we were planning. Still, it will all be done soon and then I will take pictures and spam you all!

Brilliant!
All I thought of was having a friend write me a receipt for work I will do sometime... probably. Your idea is much more exciting.

Last minute charges- yeah. We ended up putting down a lower percentage down than we wanted because even though we thought we could stretch our savings to cover it, I knew from other first time homebuyers that mystery fees do and will crop up and we figured we should just play it safe and keep as much cash on hand as was feasible. Instead of investing it in the house. Which still drives me mad, but it was absolutely the right thing to do. Because we burned through a lot of cash, not just in aquiring the house, but in moving and setting up.
Um, not to scare you, sweet Deena.
I just returned from a most delicious Event Planner's lunch which included a wine flight of 4 french wines (Pinot Blanc, Poully Fousse, Pino Noir, Bordeaux), vanilla marinated scallop in buerre blanc, and beef short rib atop truffle mashed potato with braised leeks and mushrooms. Then a mache salad to clear the palate, and a variety of sinful pastries. The woman in charge of healthy eating gave a talk during dessert. Really, she should have pitched he spiel during th salad course. That was the only healthy part in the whole thing.

Just found out about an additional fee. We'll have to have about $200 extra at closing for interest because we want to close before the 31st. Of course, if we wait until the 31st to close, we'll have to pay that much in rent, if not for a whole additional month, so.. yay us.

Goood morning Vietnam! I'm getting ready for my appointment with the Labor Relations board. I get to see my evil ex-boss, yay. I'm vacillating between smug calm (the paperwork is very clearly in my favor) and sweaty terror (eee! They were mean!). DH, bless him, has taken the afternoon off so he can go with me and hold my hand.
I got a pretty dress for the F2F. It's purply-blue with a swirly skirt.

It's the BEE!
The dress sounds lovely, and I intend to hug your husband when I see him. He's such a great guy.
