We landed up going out to dinner yesterday to celebrate and went for Japanese. Got a good fruity drink, some sushi and then we each ordered a hibachi plate...I think I have enough leftover food for two more lunches lol.
A week from today we load our storage unit into the moving truck!
The tiny pup went all night without waking up to go outside. The only way that happened was BC H tried not crating him. So now we have to try recreating both dogs when we move or we'll go forever sleeping on the outskirts of a king bed with no sheets while the dogs get most of the bed
It's chilly and gloomy/rainy again. We stayed in for the most part yesterday, but I need to find something to get out of the house. I feel so dumb just walking around a mall, but I predict that may be the winner. I need a sister wife to hang out with. lol.
I am just finishing getting ready for my orientation at 11. I have to leave in about half hour. I have been up what seems like forever. It's so chilly and gray here. I was hoping for a beach day, but I think that ship has sailed. I have lots of cleaning to do today which H is going to help with whether he likes it or not lol!
amaranth I'll check into train times to get down to your neck of the woods
It's super gross here too, but at least I have cookies! We got new neighbors last week, so yesterday I baked some chocolate chip cookies for them. I made enough for leftovers for us, and that's what H and I had for dinner last night, lol. So much for trying to eat healthier!
Also pups and I got up to eat breakfast with H before he left work work. Both pups and I crawled back in bed at 7. It's now 10 after 10 and they are still snoozing. I need to go throw the sheets in the wash but I feel bad waking them up!

I had a gyn appt this morning so I watched Live with Kelly and Michael in the waiting room. Kelly Ripa's dress was way too tight today. It's okay to size up, lady!
I think it's really odd that there are stirrup covers for advertising pharmaceuticals. You know a man didn't come up with that advertising placement. "Stirrups? What are those?"
amaranth- Wish we lived closer...we could get out of the house and take the boys to the park or you could come here and swim! We also need to get out of the house at some point today...might go grocery shopping. Not fun but at least it's something.
It's cold and misty here today. I'm actually liking it...such a nice break from the 90+ degree weather we've been having. Went for a walk this morning and will likely go for another one when C wakes from his nap. Poor DH...his day started off rough when he woke up and realized our sprinklers never turned off (they were on for just over an hour). He is trying to fix another leak and somehow messed up the solenoid. On top of that he has training at work today with a woman who is very rude and condescending...oh and likely has to work late which sucks for both of us (means I don't get a break until C is in bed for the night). Hoping work at least goes ok for him.
Oh, and I bought clothes from Old Navy online yesterday. Got the email that they shipped today and should be here by 7/21...WTF, how long could it possibly take to ship clothes (that seems like a long time) Oh well, I'm excited for new clothes and hope I ordered the right sizes.
I got up at 5:20am this morning to be at the gym by 6am for a group strength class. I thought I would die before the end of it, but it was a lot of fun and I am going to try and go once a week.
I am now sitting in a park eating my omelet loaded with tomatoes, a acids and onions. Yum yum. I am on call today so I thought I'd sit in the park and read until my pager goes off.
The sellers countered our offer! I'm so nervous to find out what it is. Our realtor is going to call H and H will let me know. This process is so nerve wracking!
luv2rn4fun, amaranth and any others with rainy weather can you please send it my way. (Unless it also involves lightening you can keep that.)
Our province is on fire, there are over 200 forest fires burning in BC right now. Too many for us to fight so thanx to Ontario who has sent some reinforcements. The closest fire started less then 10km from my house. Thankfully this fire is 100% contained, and no homes actually burned. (Initial reports said 2 did.)
estrellita- FX it's not too high, and if it is that you can counter again and get a better price.
How much lower then asking did you go? (You don't have to give actual numbers of you don't want, a % works too.)
We went 7k lower than asking and asked for closing costs and a warranty. We're willing to give up the warranty and go a little higher but we can't go a ton higher. It seems like they are motivated to sell so I'm hoping they will at least go 5k under asking so we can actually afford it, lol.
It's super gross here too, but at least I have cookies! We got new neighbors last week, so yesterday I baked some chocolate chip cookies for them. I made enough for leftovers for us, and that's what H and I had for dinner last night, lol. So much for trying to eat healthier!
Yay for being an adult! eat all the cookies any time of the day.
Well they countered with full asking price, no warranty, but they pay closing. We're going to counter with our top amount and take the warranty off but I feel like this isn't going to happen
((hugs)) estrellita Just saw your update...hope they accept your offer. Buying and selling houses is so frustrating...one of the main reasons (that and moving all our crap, I mean stuff) I don't want to do this all over again.
luv2rn4fun Old Navy can take a long time to ship. I've noticed it usually doesn't take that long, but it comes USPS, so it's pretty much impossible to track it.
MIL is on her way over to watch DS, so I can work on trip prep. It is seriously sneaking up on me, and I have a ton to do.
G was on a sleep strike yesterday. She slept awesome last night (once she finally got down and stayed down) and has napped once already today so things are already better! We went grocery shopping and ran by Starbucks and took a coffee to DH. Of course G was awake until we got to his work and then fell asleep. Oh well. Not sure what we will be doing the rest of the day but I'm caffeinated and in a good mood so I have high hopes!
luv2rn4fun- we have a tree faller die already. he was trying to make a fire brake and one of the trees fell in a weird way. So so sad.
estrellita- make sure your realtor tells them it's your top offer, then if they say no to it walk away knowing that going over what you can afford will hurt you in the low run. ((Hugs)) house hunting is hard.
awick14 We let our realtor know that was our top offer so if they reject it, that's it. I'm feeling ok about it if they reject. There are 2 new listings out there in our price range so I've pretty much moved on already, lol. Who knows, maybe they'll surprise us and accept! If not there are more to look at!
I went home sick today from work. I had the migraine from hell and nothing was helping it. So I came home, took something stronger and feeling pretty good right now.
