textualdevianceThere have just been too many roadblocks this week.
The one good part was that we got past the inspection report on Chez Fou, and are now officially in pending (aka wait until closing) status. Everything else was just screwy: Work going wonky, the damned apartment being too hot to clean it (and oh good gravy, does it need cleaning), my back being stiff and sore (I think the chairs at work are killing me) and yesterday, having some sort of injury or something that's made my right eye go all goopy and red and swollen (I probably just scratched it, but it's annoying and makes me look like I've been punched.)
And then the financial mess. Given that a significant portion of the funds we're using for our down payment is coming from company stock, having it tank 9% Friday (thanks to crappy earnings) really took a bite out. To make things even more lovely, I realized yesterday that closing costs are going to eat up a lot of our available cash, too, thus further reducing what we can afford.
The combo of those two things? Has just shaved ~$75k off our potential maximum house price. At least for the immediate future. We can come up with probably a little more cash if we wait another month or so before we go looking for real (assuming stock doesn't tank any further in that time.) It just means a much tighter turnaround when it comes time to officially move, since our lease here is up at the end of October.
At least it's relatively cool here right now, which means that as soon as my drugs kick in, I may be able to get at least a few household chores done. And then I have a bridal shower(!) to go to this afternoon. Should be... Yeah. W'ev. ;)
