An update.... hopefully

My internet connection has sucked for what seems like forever, but I thought I'd try - again - to check in. I can get on Bill's computer all right, but I can't use my blog software at all (it's Mac only and Bills on a PC) and emailing is a major pain in the patooty. Other than me cussing my busted ethernet port, we're all just fine here.

The Kid's graduation went well - she has freshman orientation at her college in a couple of weeks - and she's relishing her lazy summer. Well, lazy other than when her mean ol' mom makes her do things. Like put gas in the lawnmower or cook supper.

Bill's still working overtime and driving that crappy commute, so he's pretty tired most of the time. I've written a decent hunk on Stain of Corruption and have been doing some flesh-out-the-plot work on SPORE. So that's all good too. Best of all, though, we apparently have a buyer for our house. We're getting inspected tomorrow and if all goes well - which it SHOULD - we'll be closing by the end of the month! 

Which of course means that we'll need a place to go, a new home of our own, right? How about a three bedroom Victorian within reasonable commuting to Bill's job? It's pushing the limits of our price range, but I think we'll be okay. It's absofreaking gorgeous inside - least I think so - with all original woodwork and hardwood floors, and it's completely updated too! We just have to get past tomorrow's inspection and we're good to go. I'm a bit concerned about the scheduling of all of this - I mean, how can we close on our house and get the new house downpayment in and close there but still have time to move before our buyers are taking possession?? But our realtors and mortgage folks are certain it'll all go just fine. So I'm letting them handle it. lol
