Love & a Steady Hand

House Hunting, but why?

You know who else the housing crash is hurting? Me.

Damned bubble. I dunno why we're even bothering to look. Nobody in their right mind is going to approve us for a mortgage with everybody cracking down on people with sucky credit and no downpayment.

I should just be grateful we sold the house in Lancaster. I should be grateful that we sold it for a ridiculously low price that did not even begin to cover our down-payment or the money we put into the new furnace, new roof, new refrigerator and all the work we did. If we hadn't sold it, at pennies-a-capful the way we did, we'd really be sunk right now.

So why do I STILL feel sunk. I complain too much. Sorry 'bout that.

My left ear is completely stopped up. I am still coughing up a lung every five or six minutes and Matthew probably has Fifth's Disease now. Otherwise, all is well.

My car has not caught on fire. So in that respect at least, I am in better shape than Kymmers. She has a house, so in that respect she's better off than me. But I really like my job and I don't think she likes hers much.

I will stop complaining for this round anyway. Here's wishing you wellness, unstopped-up ears and no flaming vehicles of any kind. Sigh.
