BIZZIER

Here it is Saturday and we are still in the little storm of buying and selling a condo and house (respectively).

An agent who got a preview of the house on Thursday brought us an offer yesterday and we made a counteroffer. It takes a while to figure how to respond.

Today there is an open house for two to three hours. That will keep some pressure on the negotiation with the prospect.

John and Booker and I will go out for lunch and then go walk around the new neighborhood to see the sights. We are also going to the consignment place for me to look at a dining set John found.

We have moved the closing dates on the condo forward to the middle of June.

In the center of the little storm there is some quiet. I slept through the night alright last night. That was not the case the two or three nights earlier.

It is draining.

But continually we are finding that it is quite worth it.

We are excited about our new living situation and think that we are making the right move. So to speak.

Oh.

The offer.

I can't say much about it except to say that it is in process. That means that we are in range of agreement. If we didn't like it we would have refused the bid.

One thing, last night, I realized that we are not paying enough attention to Booker who gets that something is up.

A little more hugging and attention will let him know that whatever is up includes him in a good way.

We will take the food and his bed with us and he will have some new spaces to sort out for napping.

There will be new grounds to explore.

And most of all, he will have his two dads and we will still be a happy family.
