So what do you have to panic about?

Ouch, I just realized what a poor blogger I’ve been. No postings since September, ugh. I also realized that I haven’t read anyone else’s blog in about 3 weeks. What is going on with me?

So what is new? We had a buyer for the condo, and then lost them because the bank took too long. Then we got a new one, and the bank took a long time again. We had to resubmit our entire lives again, including what felt like fluid and hair samples to be reconsidered for the short sale. And then we would get news that they were accepting it, and then we would get more new that they would accept it if we submitted some other obscure piece of paperwork, and like all of the other requests we had about 1 hour to pull it out of our ass. So basically, I’ve been running around for the month with my head cut off.

This last time, supposedly we have the approval in hand. I haven’t seen a copy yet so I don’t believe it. We are going through all the closing steps. Final inspection, final paperwork, etc. Do you suppose I will feel instantly lighter when I sign my name for the last time and relinquish ownership for good? I have a guy that stays here at the hotel and he’s looking at condos and he just keeps wanting to talk about it all. (I don’t want to talk about the market. I don’t want to talk about buying a house. I don’t want to talk my “story” with you. )

I had a guy throw a muffin at me today. It kind a sums up the week. My boss put in her notice, we get a new manager on November 2nd. The people that come on Saturdays for Traffic School are spoiled assholes with entitlement issues.

We re-newed our lease. By hook or by crook I am here for another year. I can’t decided if we stayed because of the good renewal offer or because I just didn’t want to have to pack everything up and move.

My birthday came a went. Erich’s not sick anymore but he sure as hell hasn’t done anything to make up for jerk he was that day. I talked to my family and went out on my own. I ended up having a good time with some friends who rallied together at the last minute for shitty bar food and good conversation. I guess I can’t ask for more than that

So ya. That’s it. Things are working out. We are both making some money. Things are working themselves out. It’s a strange empty sensation to still be worried and anxious and realize that you don’t have a whole lot to be worried and anxious about anymore.

Work is going alright. I was concerned with the change in leadership but I’m hoping it will be okay. The interim person seems to realize that I’m a valuable employee so we’ll see what happens.

I think we’ve all just about kicked whatever illnesses that have been plagueing us for the last three weeks. Amelia still has a bit of a cough but I think we’re working through it. It’s so frustrating to be sick for so long. I can’t decide if it was the same illness or mutant strains that kept hitting us while our immune system was down. The state is general is freaking out about H1N1. The vaccine is available for children right now but i hesitate. It’s hard to balance being a vigilant parent, making sure your child is protected and being careful what you are giving your child. We’ve never really done the whole flu vaccine thing anyway. Even when she was a baby, I declined. And till now we’ve been fine. I can’t decide.

I am so going to take a nap when I get home.
