Because I’m on Day 2 of no hot water in this shithole of a condo. And our shower won’t run on just cold water (great plumbing!), so no hot water, no showers.
In other news, we’re making an offer on a house. There is a competing offer, so everyone please cross your fingers for us!
I am totally freaking out.
“Get a Leg Up the Pile and Refinance Your Dreams”

Our water is so hot we have to keep it almost all the way to cold unless we want to burn our skin off. SO I GUESS WE KNOW WHERE YOUR HOT WATER IS. Also I am freaking out right with you.
Fingers are crossed as requested

I can’t believe you and Tom are moving into the realm of homeownership. Are you happy with it? Besides being freaked out? Good luck!
(PS-Guess who might be moving back to California? US! Justin has an interview at UC Santa Cruz on Thursday that might drive us south.)
I really love the house, and it’s KILLING ME. I just see so much potential in it.
I am crossing my fingers for Justin’s interview – it would be so KICK ASS if you were only a day’s drive away!
I just see so much potential in it.
Oh, god, “potential” is what my in-laws LOVE in houses, and it’s how we wound up living in this albatross. Run, run from potential!
(My personal issues aside, fingers crossed for you! I’m sure you have a much better sense for potential than my in-laws. [wink])
Jamie, when I say “potential” I mean that I can see us there over a long period of time, making the house our own. We could move in tomorrow, not change a thing, and never change a thing, and be perfectly fine. But… I really see us able to customize it to our liking, without major construction. Potential.
That’s what I get for reading entries backwards. OK, the fingers are already crossed, so I shall just say: no hot water = YUCK.
