Forever Home – July 20th

Happy Apollo 11 Moon Landing Anniversary!

In the here and now, we’re getting down to the final stages of our home purchase and moving adventure. We signed loan documents on Friday, and the escrow company should have all of the wet-signature and notarized copies Monday morning. The mortage company is supposed to fund early Monday, so early Tuesday we should close and record. Right now we’re on schedule to spend Tuesday in the new house dealing with utilities and the first stages of unpacking, with the PODS units going up on Wednesday and the movers on Thursday.

The packing and preparing for the movers while loading as much as we can into the PODS units has been exhausting for days. We’re taking damage…

Sometimes when trying to push large objects (in this case, a large shelving unit) they might stop suddenly and have blunt objects (a leg) sticking out that jabs HARD into my arm. Thirty-six hours later, it’s tender but not terribly painful, but the purple and black coloration is impressive.

“You should see the other guy!!”

More practically a pain, my Apple watch got knocked off of a counter onto the tile floor and what started as a couple of small cracks in the corner has now turned into a much larger web of cracks. Like a crack in a windshield, it’s gradually spreading and growing, while continuing (for the moment) to work. I don’t think that SafeLite comes out and repairs this. If/when it stops working, I’ll probably have to bite the bullet and buy a new one. This one is about five or six years old and I sort of depend on it a lot, so just going without isn’t realistic at this point.

At least it’s not my phone that’s dying.

Thirty-five hours, thirty-three minutes and counting to home ownership.
