Waiting for the deal to close was killer, of course we have no cell phones (Dear lord, I hate cell phones, but one would have been handy on Friday), and needed to do all sorts of errands and running around - thankfully our realtor acted as the communications point, and we just checked in with her every hour and half or so to see if the deal had closed.

I'll drop by next weekend. I expect all unpacking to not be done and there to be something heavy and likely dripping that you'll have been putting off moving until somebody drops by.

Key transfer day is the worst. All day waiting for a key that was supposed to be there hours ago, and why? You are having nightmares of the deal falling through, suddenly leaving you home and apartmentless.... Of course in our case the key was late because the sellers were trying to pull and illegal scam. Loosers. Did they really think if they put a lien on the house after we signed the deal no one would notice? Ummmm.... sure neither set of lawyers would notice. Anyway, hope all the annoyance resolved favourably. Hey do you need a plunger, we have a spare Did you get your key yet???? Key transfer day is the worst.
