In the hopes of not jinxing it, I will speak nothing of the condo we viewed and bid on on Saturday. I just want this damn search to be over already...it's really taxing, I have to tell you.

I will say this though...I will have to spend almost a month living with my parents and bare-bones necessities because of the fact that our closing date, if we were to get this place, is the end of Oct. The people actually wanted early November, but that's too long, not to mention too late into winter...who knows what the weather would be like then?

I had hoped that I wouldn't have to spend more than a couple weeks there, but now it seems that it will be longer than a couple weeks. This is going to be not easy, and I'm not even speaking from a "have to live with the parents" perspective.

I get along pretty well with my parents. Of course, that may be helped by the fact that I don't live there like my brothers do, but still, it's a good deal. I'm not too worried about it...sure, I'm positive it will be frustrating. I'll be sleeping/living in the basement, so I'll have some privacy most of the time. But I probably won't be down there much otherwise...I'll have to shower upstairs and everything too. And there's nowhere near room for all my crap. So I'll have to live on the basics and find somewhere to put my stuff. Plus, Kazak will have to live in Bolingbrook for this time...I'm not too keen on him being away from me for that long, but it has to be done. I can't figure anything else out, really.

So we shall see how it goes, I guess...that is, of course, assuming we get this place...
