Not Much...You?

You: Hey! What's up?

Me: You know that movie Around the World In 80 Days? Yeah...in the last 10 days I have...

...received, considered, and accepted an offer on my house.
...missed a chorale rehearsal.
...stopped sleeping at night.
...revisited, considered, and ruled out the "Close Encounters" house.
...visited, considered, and worried about the "Water Tower" house.
...visited, considered, and ruled out 8 houses not interesting enough to warrant pet names.
...researched every elementary school in a 10 mile radius.
...made phone calls about and ultimately an offer on the "Water Tower" house.
...worried significantly about being too poor to function for a year.

...been rejected by the owner of the "Water Tower" house.
...revisited and reconsidered the "Close Encounters" house.
...ruled out every other housing purchase option as "not an option."
...worried significantly about things like termites, asbestos, and acoustic tiled ceilings.
...ruled out the "Close Encounters" house (again).
...panicked, sobbed, and sat in a corner of my bathroom muttering "what am I going to do?" over and over like an idiot.
...regrouped, reconsidered living in poverty, and explored poverty-related options with my lender.

...missed another chorale rehearsal.
...moved the closing date on my house up by three weeks (buyers are very, very happy).

You: ...?

Me: Er...I mean.... Not much. You?
