offer
What a difference a day makes no?
I had a horrific day on Thursday. I’ll say nothing more about it.
Then on Friday, I was still reeling from Thursday but managed to go house hunting and found a house I really liked - an offer was made.
Now it’s a short sale - so who knows how it will go.
But it was exciting to sign the offer contract (290,000) for the 3 bedroom 2 bath 1175 sq foot house with a small back yard and hardwood under the grey carpets…
It’s in a very quiet neighborhood with very well maintained lawns & houses. Now the neighbor has 3 cars in the driveway (2 racers) and one under a cover. Not crazy about that - but hey - it can’t be perfect. But it’s enough to make me want to make an offer for once in this 4 month 90 house ordeal.
I’ll keep everyone updated.
I know if I get it - I’ll need to rip out the carpet and have the floors refinished so finding a reliable, licensed contractor will be imperative that will be willing to do it for a decent price. I wished I could have offered less but it’s alright - I’m not giving them more than the asking price of 299 so it’ll either work or back to the drawing board.
Maybe we’ll hear something next week…
Meanwhile, I did alright on food yesterday and today I met up with the Crisis couple. We went to see Last chance Harvey - the story could have been better but it was beautiful to see Emma & Dustin on screen though and the premise was refreshing.
I thought Ms. Crisis wanted to eat salad but she wanted to go the Malaysian restaurant and we threw down 
Great stuff and dessert was awesome too!
So needless to say it wasn’t a healthful dinner.
But that’s alright - I’m bleedin’ like a stuck pig so the coconut rice, curry chicken, mango chicken, satay, papaya salad (there ya go) and dessert of banana roti pancake was delicious!
I treated so it was a good night 
They are excited about the house and have their fingers crossed!
I can go back to soup and salads tomorrow.
They ain’t goin’ nowhere.
I’m drinkin’ vanilla honey camomile tea - it’s nice
I’m nervous about the house, it’s in the East Bay so I’ll become familiar with a commute (real) but it’s all very exciting.
