Bummed on bday...

Happy tax day, er bday!

Just another day I know but sucks to be alone for it, for what the 8th year in a row Jenn? Anyways its only wednesday but this is the culmination of a shitty week.

Get to deal with a new batch of consultants that someone on high decided I needed... They are doing a great job of repackaging the work my team has done over the last month and showing our upper management all that "we" have done... Just awesome...

Got my taxes in... Jebbus... Nuff said there...

The offer on the house fell through, even if it was a shit offer it would have given us closure. Now we have nothing but a bunch of stuff we should fix to make the next offer (if there is one) smoother... Not things that will give us roi mind you, just things that will make it possible to sell the damn thing.. More awesome...

Meh, thought it would feel good to "talk" to someone, it really doesn't..

Been awhile.

I was reminded that it has been awhile since I last posted, we've been busy...

We got an offer on the house! Yay!

The offer sucked. Boo!!

We countered and they didn't run away screaming, yay!

They countered with a slightly less shitty offer, boo!

We had no choice but to accept, ya... Oh wait, boooo!

They want a building inspection, ok. The building inspection turns up vermiculite in the attic. Wtf is vermiculite? Apparently it contains asbestos! Booo! Its safe to leave and no law in quebec requires that you remove it, but.... It will cost 10000 to remove! Boo again!

Well water needs to be tested, ok. Comes back as hazardous! Boo!

Meanwhile jenn is down south with me for a week to look at houses! Yay!

We find one, it has been one the market for over a year! Can anyone smell a deal? Yay!

The day we look at it they drop the price! Yay!

Someone else makes an offer! Boo, forcing us to make our best offer! Boo so much for getting a deal!

The other guys offer is accepted! Boo some more!

U get the point. I know we have all been brainwashed into thinking that if we don't own a house we aren't successful and are just throwing our money away, but I would be 30 or 60k richer if we hadn't moved depending on how carefully I loolk at the numbers, and believe me, neither of those numbers are ones I want to dwell on for a prolonged period...

So we are waiting for the final decision from our buyer, who will no doubt try and make me pay for ecerything, not sure what I will do. Surfing the nj bus home to take jenn to the airport where a bunch of mean people will take here away from me.

Much as I love my foster family, the last week has been the most relaxing and amazing week of this adventure! Can't wait for jenn and the boys to be here full time.

Before I wipe out, these drivers don't drive any smoother when there is someone standing, ill sign off. Keep smilng, at the very least you can have the satisfaction of knowing that everyone around you will wonder what you are up to.
