Screeching halt

I had meant to take a brief hiatus from this crazy moving business to write a few entries about my trip to NY. I had a few bouts of not being able to get online, so I started an entry in Word and intended to finish it and post. I may go back and fill in info about my brother's book party and my fantastic breakfast at Barney Greengrass, The Sturgeon King (said in your BEST NY accent), but it's going to have to wait.

Bad news is that I lost my buyer today. Or perhaps it was yesterday. In any case, the inspection was yesterday and apparently there are a few problems with my roof and my heating unit that the buyer is a little leery and decided to terminate the contract.

I am trying not to freak out and hope that after the fixes, I will have a better buyer and will be able to leave closer to the end of July.

The buyers agent was kind enough to offer to fax a copy of the inspectors recommendations. I should get that in hand on Monday and then I will start ticking off the list.

Needless to say, the remainder of my plans are a bit in limbo. I still do not have a confirmed apartment in Davis and don't get me started on exactly how I am getting my crap, my cats and myself across the country.

I did however, wind up at Six Feet Under this evening after a frustrating day at Souper Jenny. As I shared the news about my housing update with Angela and Chris, our server kindly mentioned that I may need a drink!

I wholeheartedly agreed.
