Persistent Cloudiness

I'm still in overcast mode. We've had a pending offer on our house and are waiting to hear the results of the inspection. We can't imagine that the inspector would have found anything major, but you never know. Inspectors have to find some things or they wouldn't be doing their jobs. Once we resolve inspection results, then we will really start to feel like the deal will go through. Our buyer is certainly acting like he expects it to. He set an appointment with me to walk through the property the day before closing and has asked me to see if he could park his cars on the driveway a couple of days before closing. Those are positive signs. The next big step would be the financing coming through on his part. They have sold their house already, so that shouldn't be a problem. In the mean time, I have been running through my mind on what we'll need to do to get ready for our move. We want to rent a storage room for a couple of months while we thin things down. There is a large complex of self-storage just a mile away. We want to dispose of some furniture we no longer want. I found a consignment shop that will take it. They told us we'd make more on Craigslist, but going through consignment would be easier. Finally, of course, we need to find a place to move to. I have found a townhouse for rent in Wallingford that Phil and I are excited about. Larry isn't totally on board yet. That place would be fun and should be OK for a year until we figure out the next step.

What I'm doing now is priming myself for action in my mind. I don't want to do anymore such as actually getting rid of furniture, arranging storage, committing to a lease until we find out about our deal. Fortunately, I have a few sewing activities with friends in the next few days to distract myself from my worries. That reminds me--I need to thin down my sewing stash a little more also!
