Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The realtor gave me the contact info for another mortgage person (one associated with the realtor), but my brain has kind of hit the end of its ability to process for the moment, so I might wait until tomorrow and call or email then.

Working on the mortgage. Still got some options to consider. Might get the closing date delayed by a week or so. Which might be a good thing, because I still haven't gotten the money that my parents said they'd give me for the down payment, because my father somehow decided that the best way to transfer money from one account to another, at two different banks, was to have the first bank print out a check and mail it to him, and then he'll go and deposit the check in the other bank, wait for it to clear, and then send it to me from that account. So this is taking two weeks rather than two days.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel like almost every house sale/purchase we've been involved in has had the closing date pushed back. It's not a big deal.

Yes. The month or two before closing is filled with tension filled emails and phone calls. No fun at all.

Getting through closing was like having an extra full time job with we did it last year. It was always a race to get one more thing, and because of tax reasons we really had to finish before the end of the calendar year in 2017. Our closing date ended up slipping from I think 12/23 to 12/26. It was right at the wire. Our purchase was officially recorded on 12/27.

And you're always frantic to get things done, and none of the companies you deal with ever seem to feel any sense of urgency.

Yeah, mine was supposed to be end of calendar year and ended up being January 3rd last time. I was not pleased.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yup. Both times. There is always one more document.

I love the game where every agency takes whatever time they need, but then when they need something from you, it has to happen in the next 2 hours or the whole deal is off.

I got a two-week extension on the closing date, and probably getting a mortgage from the mortgage place affiliated with the realtor.
