I noticed that I have not posted in like a month so I figured I'd drop an explanation. We recently moved into a new home, which is awesome, but also awful! It is especially awful since we bought a house without selling ours first. Actually we bought a house before we were really even ready to sell our house. My wife was all like, its time to move, and to be honest, I thought we would never move, so I laughed it off: "yea sure were gonna move." Then she makes the call to our old realtor and says she wants to start looking and still I'm thinkin: ok, yeah, but were still like a year and a half away from buying. I know my wife and she will not settle. She would wait years for the perfect house. And I knew our price range made it near impossible for her to find such a house so I was golden.
But then lo and behold(its not misspelled, check it!), we find a house. She is like, this is it, we need to make an offer. I have a mini heart attack, but we make the offer, and thanks to our kick ass realtor, we were able to get the house, even though it had tons of offers. The reason: we did not make ours contingent on selling our house. There were actually offers higher than ours, but all of them were contingent on selling their house. So long story short we bought a house way before we were ready to sell ours and so my wife and I have been busting our asses with the move.
It took us around 2 to 3 weeks to get our old house ready for sale, and finally its out there...which is an enormous relief. So now please, please someone buy the damn thing. Seriuosly though, buy it. Somebody buy that thing. Buy it.....BUY IT!!! I'm losing my mind, why is no one buying it. Two mortgages just looms over me and makes me freak out about everything. No lunches, no video games for the parker power hour, even if they are only 5 bucks. No ordering pizza, no freedom! Oh man, I cant wait until we close our old house, I need to come up with a great celebratory gift or event for when we close on it. Maybe I will do a 24 hour long stream? Maybe I will buy a new computer? No, that's too big, maybe a new game...seems reasonable. I don't know, lets not jinx it by thinking about what I will do if it ever does sell. Cause right now I feel like it never will.
Actually we had one woman that was close, she visited an open house, then came back with her realtor for another look. Exciting right? Nope. She ultimately passed because...wait for it...the yard wasn't flat enough. Ummm, what?! The yard wasn't flat enough? And you didn't see that on your first visit. You gotta get my hopes up just so you can crush them with some crap about an incline.
Anyway so the old house is finally in tip top shape and on the market, and I am slowly starting to get used to living in this new house. That is another weird thing about moving, the awkward phase of getting used to a new home. Its kind of awful. My wife focused mainly on unpacking and organizing the new house while I focused on the old house, so I don't really know where anything is in this new giant house. That sucks, but also just getting new routines is kind of a shock to the senses. Its so much change all at once. At night when I turn out lights I am running into things. I can't find any kitchen utensils I might need to cook for myself. I still have trouble opening the right drawers in the morning for clothes.
But I am threw with excuses and soon I will(try) to start getting my routine back of failing to write blog posts. Until then, as always you can catch me Thursdays streaming a new game each week @ 8 PM central time.
Also, please lend me prayers, thoughts, chants, dancing rituals, anything to help some other presence sell the freakin' old house!!
