Yes, I am still hunting for permanent lodging. Those with whom I've talked recently know that I've been a bit wishy-washy about it all. Ok, a lot wishy-washy. I've been on and off the rent/buy seesaw so many times it feels like a merry-go-round. But in my dizziness, I finally made an offer on a house last Friday. Of course, as soon as I did that, I found a rental that would have worked quite nicely. And so it goes... (did I just steal that line from Kurt Vonnegut?)
Today, I got the seller's counter offer. I was pretty cranky when I first got it cause I wanted what I wanted and I didn't want to play their stupid game. I was ready to take my ball and go home. Oh yeah, that's right, I don't have a home to go to yet. Well, someone much wiser than me, who will remain nameless to protect the innocent, suggested that I quit quibbling and just be done with it--I don't think those were quite the words used but I think that was the intent ;^). So that's what I did. I took their counter offer and didn't even counter their counter. Now I just have to wait and see what the home inspection uncovers. Hopefully nothing slimy or stinky.
