I am rattled beyond belief today. Settlement is tomorrow. Tomorrow morning I will pretty much empty the contents of my bank account and hand it over to a mortgage company. The mortgage company will then proceed to take most of my income every month forever. I see trips to Tuscany and Provence, cruises of the Mediterranean, now beyond my reach.
I ended the work day today with an incomprehensible collage of sticky notes on my desk. Most of them made little or no sense. I'll try to sort it all out when I'm back at my desk on Thursday, hopefully in a calmer frame of mind.
I really am rattled.

Now why should you go to all those places when we are stuck here in NJ paying mortages and other bills! You will survive, you are a surviver! I have seen that in the past year for sure! Kepp the faith, ya know we are here for ya to complain to like we use you sometimes Praying for ya!
Thank you, Mommanator! Someday I will sell the house and travel to exotic places ;)
Don't worry, you're in good company. You are lucky because you have a wonderful support group to help, listen and to celebrate your beautiful new home.
Congrats, just think you and Ralph buying houses at the same time. Bet you are glad that part is over. When do you move in? need any help from a one handed wonder? We do have a trailer here you could prob use ? Next week you me and Zeldam OUT! Name day and time. Tues or Thurs best for me, just not tues. Any day really!
Mommanator-
Does that mean Thursday is best? I will go any day, anywhere! I have a meeting out of the office in the AM (V-land), but will talk to Zelda in the PM. We'll set something up.
I'm moving over a period of a few weeks, so it won't be too bad! After I'm in, I want all of my gardening friends to provide their best suggestions, over cocktails on the patio, perhaps???
Make that, "I have a meeting out of the office TOMORROW (Friday), but will talk to Zelda in the PM."
Is zelda in officeland, thought she was off? Cocktails OYEH! I'm in if I am in NJ you'd better make it when I am home!
Next week anyday but Tues is good for me sorry for making so ununderstandable! you know me always complicated!
I'll be sure to schedule it when you're in NJ!
No, Zelda was not in officeland. I'll call her this weekend. I'm good for any day next week, and Thursday would be just fine with me! We just have to check that with Zelda.
I have to go to Princeton on Thursday. Should be back at a reasonable hour.....
How did it go? I will never forget the closing on the first house I owned - looking at the amortization list at all the payments I'd be forking over for years and years. Ack. But I think owning a house is completely worth it.
Zelda-
If you won't be too tired, then Thursday is great! Otherwise, any other day will work for me.
CS-
It went well. Housing prices in this area are so outrageously inflated that this took me to a whole new level of fright. I'm still a little bit rattled, but I'm getting used to the idea. I love owning a home, too, so there is an up side to all of this.
congrats. I am married to my house too
Joe-
Yes, it is an enormous commitment, isn't it?
One never knows what the future may bring.
God bless ya and CONGRATULATIONS!
