Our realtor is really falling short of our expectations on this last leg before our house sale closing. We know that it will happen, but why things like this must so often be painful is beyond me. The closing was supposed to happen today. It still could. Just let's get it to happen already!

I stayed up late last night watching the news. I'm happy with the results and happy for the American people, including those who think they aren't happy. There are a lot of financially struggling people in the US. That is far more apparent in the states we've visited during our road trip, than where I come from.

Update: Our water heater is kaput and needs replacement. Great, huh? Our lawyer is contacting the buyer's lawyer about a compromise. The hard thing is that Hubby thinks the plumber our realtor brought in seems to charge too much. But he would exchange it today. I am eager to get this done, but Hubby wants to find someone cheaper. Difference in toughness. Hubby is making it harder. He's more stubborn than me, so of course it will ultimately be his call.
