I'm thinking about that, too, msbelle. It's tiring to work that much, but if it's short-term maybe okay? How would that work out with Mac?
Not too old, Jess. Nap sounds good.

Because books.
Strongly considering going back to school. Am worried too old.
If I'm not too old, you sure aren't. And I'm going back to school even if it's the last thing I do.
I'm so sorry about Walter, -t. Love to you both.

Ahem. Was 40 when I got my bachelor's, will be 50 when I get my masters. Never too old. Though, I WILL likely die with unpaid student loans, but that is what it is.

Our wings are not tired
We have offers in play on two houses right now. In theory we might know today. Both of them are at the first counteroffer. With the market here in LA we know that we could get both of them, or just as likely lose both of them. We know on one house we are one of 11 offers, currently the leading offer, but we countered instead of just taking their terms, so who knows how it will end up.
Okay, just needed to get that out there. It's a lot to have hanging in the balance right now when I have a million other things going on.

Good luck, Noise.
Y'all. I'm printing things out so I can scan them. It hurts my soul. Or my spleen or liver, something hurts.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Good luck on BOTH your houses!
The LA real estate market is as crazy as NYC, so I feel your pain. (On the plus side, it meant we got over a dozen offers for the coop we were selling. On the down side, we were competing with dozens of other offers for every house we liked in the Hudson Valley.)

If only we had a house to sell. It's so totally a sellers market right now. So far both of our counters have wanted us to do things like waive the appraisal contingency or waive the finance approval contingency. There is a lot of pressure to move all of the risk over to the buyer.

-t Mac is fine by himself, but it means he would have to get better about feeding himself. In fact, he should really be working part time, but he will not get off his ass and apply.
I would like to only add 8-12 hours of part time work, but realize it could end up more than that.

That sounds like a pretty reasonable plan to me, then.
