Jun. 14th, 2013 01:58 pmI just realized I haven't updated for awhile... in part, because life has been rather hectic. We sold our house in four days (it would have been faster, but we stated right up front that we'd be considering all offers the following Monday). We got 10 offers. o_O And ended up selling for significantly over our asking price... but that's one of the reasons we hired the agency we did. It's what they're known for.
Since then, it's been a mad scramble... we already had a good chunk of stuff moved out to a storage locker (for last minute remodeling and for staging the house), but we're down to the minutiae now which is always annoying. Last week the stager came and hauled away all of her stuff and the house just echoes, making it kinda weird to sleep in (it really doesn't feel like our house anymore and we both keep waking up to odd noises).
And then, just to make life extra fun, I headed out of town last Tuesday for my annual trip to JadeCon (and Origins Game Fair). I'd been planning this trip for a year, but I was so tempted to cancel. I've been having fun and I'm glad I decided to go through with it, but I'm feeling incredibly guilty for leaving all the last minute stuff to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rackham (plus, I know it's got to make the house feel even emptier). I'll fly home next Tuesday night, we get the keys to the new house on Wednesday and we have to be out of the old house by 9:00pm on Thursday. Whew. Gonna have to hit the ground running. So, while having wild and crazy fun at JadeCon, I've also been guzzling Emergen-C and trying to get out to go walking (and Geocaching) every day... in the hopes that I can ward off any potential Con Crud. Because I really won't have time to deal with it when I get back.
Oh! Before I go... a fun story! ( How I came to get a ticket to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in concert and ran into an old high school friend I haven't seen in 17+ years. )
And in other news, I also got to donate blood today at the convention. I love it when cons have blood drives! And hey, free t-shirt!
