We have an offer from the people who sent the contractor yesterday. Realtor is doing his counter-offer thing and so forth.
Oh yeah! Let the good news rain down. We've been parched for it.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Oh, Laura, yay! Holding my thumbs that the news will be good.
Hooray for Hec being freed from durance vile!

Our wings are not tired.
I am so ready for this to happen. Cash deal so no worries about them getting financing. Just waiting to see what kind of number we can agree on. Their offer was a reasonable first offer per the realtor so they already countered. Should know if it is going to happen by tomorrow. Of course there is the whole 15 days to change their minds and do inspection and such, but the contractor already came yesterday and they plan on doing a major project like adding up or out for a huger house as is happening in the area.
I won't sleep tonight!!

So exciting, Laura!
Enjoy being out of Covid jail, Hec. Glad you had a mild time of it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Woo hoo, Laura!
Also woo hoo, Hec!
I went to see Awesome Doctor today about increasing my Prozac dose and left with (1) increased Prozac dose, (2) new migraine meds (Ubrelvy, which I hope works, though I assume anything would work better than the ancient medication that I take), and (3) a shingles shot. I feel all full of medical goodness.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay medical goodness!

Awesomeness Maintained! Well done health giver!
We have done something we've never had to do before: We bought home insurance.
Escrow closes March 8th. Getting there.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The whole thing is an endless series of those experiences, and they all come with price tags that seem just impossible. Having good people on your side helps! As does having a closing date in sight, and a good stiff celebratory drink on the other side of it.

Also! I did buy that cute-ass cherry skirt from last week, and it should be here tomorrow, which is good because we have a Postmodern Jukebox concert next week. (And then we see John Mulaney on March 13, and I'm wearing my bee print skirt from the same shop [not miniskirt length like in that post; same just-below-the-knee midi length as the cherry skirt]).

PMJ and Mulaney! That's some quality self care. That'll get you through the winter blues.
