We talked to a real estate guy this morning about him being our buyer's agent. Then, he asked if we wanted to see the house in the afternoon, so he drove us out there to see it. It is totally weird. We love it (but will not die if we don't get it). We are putting in a bid on it (contingent upon the results of the inspection). Then, we came home and wrote down everything that we would like done to the place for the contractor who is giving us an estimate next week. That went very late. Now, it is very late, and I am exhausted. If this works out, we will have an adorable not-that-big place with a cute screened porch, some little gardens, etc. I'm not used to being able to say, "Oh, could you put a window in this wall and take out that small building?"

Wow, I am just amazingly tired. Happily, though, I've had a little bit of time to rest after the housing drama. I think that it was the waiting that was the most stressful. I'm more or less okay now. Of course, next, we have to deal with all the little things that have started backing up again. And I still haven't been to the doctor in a while. I've got to get to work on that, but of course, I don't want to deal with it until after the house is dealt with. Maybe it is for the best to not get settled on a doctor until I know where I will be living.
