That second option has become my number one girl. We sent out the offer earlier today and received a slight shift counter offer this evening, which I have accepted.  Sure there are still inspections and appraisals and all of those goodies to be done but what an incredible relief.  Yes, there is a whole other world of things to worry about now, but at least it isn't looking like I'll be homeless or settling for something I don't like.  This one too I shall make my own.

I bagged up two garbage bags of mostly clothes to make an end of year/get ready to pack up donation this evening.  Always such a therapeutic effort.

Today at noon-time the appraiser was here for our final step in getting this place sold too.  *deep breath*
