So... now what?
Sold the house this week, which has resulted in a strange feeling of 'now what?' It's odd, knowing that sometime in the near future we won't be living here, and that it'll be someone else's house soon. This was the first house we'd ever owned, I guess I'm really just a big old sap, because I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for this place. We saw this place when it was nothing but a piece of land marked off by a couple of stakes and some twine. We watched it being built. It's kind of like our kid.Well, a kid that we really wanted to get rid of so we could buy a better one. Do people ever do that?
It's awesome that it sold so quickly. Having people call every twenty minutes throughout the day wanting to show it was starting to wear on my nerves.
The thing is, the whole deal doesn't close until December 16, which leaves us in a kind of limbo as far as our living situation goes. We have to figure out exactly what we're gonna do, and then make that happen. All this around the holidays, a time when you don't want to be running errands or moving. The good news is that the buyers intend to make a rental property of the place, so we might be able to actually rent our own house back from them until our new place is ready next spring. Neither of us is jazzed about the prospect of moving twice in six months. But, on the other hand, it would be really cool to just be able to live downtown. Much more convenient, and I really am ready to be done with that commute. There's lots of things I could do with that hour and a half that we spend in the car each day, and I'm starting to think that, if we're going to own a gallery downtown, it might make more sense to become more familiar with the neighborhood and the community of galleries that are in our new neighborhood. It'd be easier to do that if we got an apartment in that neighborhood.
We'll probably just have to wait and see what happens with the buyers.
Still, I don't want to have to move twice.
