WAITING IT OUT

The clock is ticking on the final days of the escrow process.

So far, nothing has happened to dim the probability that we have actually sold the house.

But, it is not over until it is over and we have the money and the deed is recorded.

That could actually happen this week but I am not pinning my hope and happiness on it.

I will admit that it has all gone very well up to now and there is no reason to expect otherwise at this point.

This morning is the "walk through" to confirm that we, indeed, have taken out all the stuff that we said we would. Some things are being left for the buyer, what he said he would want and a few gifts.

Nothing spectacular. Just living things. Easter eggs.

Next thing after this is for the paperwork to finish and the moneys to transfer and that will be it. Recording of the deed.

I will be happy when it is over. Right now it seems a bit impossible and perhaps unreal but I am sure that someone will stick a pin in me when it is over and I will recover.

I am a bit upset over leaving the house uncared for. The daily watering of the front garden and the fountain.

I have written notes. I have offered to walk through and point out little nits and nats that might save the buyer some time and trouble.

We will see.

When it turns over it is turned and that is it. We give them the keys and walk away.

What happens to the fountain and the little birds that depend on it for water is up to someone else.

There is a bit of pain there. The last giving up.

I know it may seem trivial. Not to me.
