Fingers still crossed, but not as hard

Today escrow should open on my house. I accepted the offer from the people the first people that made an offer. There were two interested parties, and they both made an offer. So it is actually selling for $4000 more than asking price, weird huh? Well "in this market" So now it's time for home inspections and such, and we'll see how that all goes. I'm trying not to get excited but I think these people really want the house. I am hoping for smooth sailing from now until closing. It would be a huge load off of my mind if this all goes through. I'll pay off my mortgage plus a little something for me. Won't that be nice, not to stress about the bills every month. The next week will be the stressful one since they still have time to back out. So I'm trying not to get too excited, although it's kind of hard not to be at least a little excited. Happy thoughts!

Keeping my fingers crossed

On Wednesday I received an offer on my house, it's contingent on the buyers seeing in the inside. Since it's currently rented the agent has to work out showings with the tenants. Apparently there are showings on Sunday and Monday, which means there is at least 2 interested parties. That's kind of neat, especially since there is already one offer for full asking price. I am interested to see what happens here. I am not going to get excited until I'm sure an offer is going to go through, but it is nice to know people are interested in my little house.

How time changes things

It's been a long time since I've posted anything here. I guess I go back and forth between here and LJ. 2010 is already shaping up to be a year of change. i am working hard to make those changes happen, all for the better.

Once the crazy chick left my job things have gotten so much better. The overall attitude of the hospital is brighter and I enjoy going to work again. It's been some hard days with training the new people for the surgery department but it's been good. No "holier than thou" attitudes to work with makes for a better workplace.

A couple of months ago one of my dogs got parvo, at 10 months of age. When I adopted him I was told he was vaccinated but I guess something was wrong. Either the vaccines weren't good or he was younger than they thought. He's better now, and I am so thankful for that.

Skydiving is awesome! I have jumped 10 times so far, I plan on continuing. I have to make it to 25 jumps to get my license, I'm working hard to get to that goal. On my 10th jump I finally stuck a landing on my feet, what a great feeling! One more jump and I should graduate my AFF program and move on to the required solo jumps i need to get licensed. Then I will be able to jump anywhere in the world. That should vacations even more fun.

Last week I made a decision. My tenants in my house went month to month on their lease, and I decided to try and sell the house one more time. Mostly to see what would happen. Less than a week later I have an offer for full asking price. I am completely surprised by this, but I'm not going to get excited. After all they haven't even seen the inside yet, and anything can happen. I'm just going to let this ride out and let what happens happen. It sure would take a load of stress off of my shoulders. It's not very fun to have a house 3000 miles away that you don't live when you rent the one you do live in. Plus I'm a worrier by nature and that does not make it any easier. Thank goodness for property management. I think I might have gone insane without it. There are all kinds of thoughts in my head about "what if the sale goes through and I have a check in hand?' but I'm not going to concentrate on that right now. It's fun to think about being debt free though.

I guess you could 2010 has already had some significant ups and downs, but that's life. I keep moving forward and I'm trying hard not to let things get to me as much. You have to be happy with what you have and keep working for those extra things you want.

Whoopsie Daisy

I have posted nothing in a long time. I think I will change this, tomorrow. I am procrastinating everything today if possible.
