I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2022
Yesterday was a long day for me. I woke up at my usual time, drank my coffee, and checked email. Then I went to the car shop to have my tires checked out, went to eat breakfast, went to Target, then to the bank, and finally made it to work. I was there by 9:30am. I had conferences from 11:30am-3:30pm with a break for lunch/dinner and then again from 5:00-7:00 pm. Almost everyone showed up which is a good thing.
This was my breakfast and it was yummy.
Mimosas sounded much better. 😀
Many of you know that I’ve been wanting to buy a house for a long time. I’ve seen many, many houses, and there were some I liked and others I did not. The housing market has been booming with houses selling for $100k or more from one year ago.
On Saturday I went to see a house and liked it a lot. The price was lower than what I’ve seen in previous months. I put in an offer and it was accepted. To say I am excited is an understatement. However, part of me still cannot believe it and am “waiting” for something to go wrong. Why am I being so negative? I feel like it is too good to be true.
Today is the house inspection and am crossing my fingers that no major repairs need to be done. If all goes well, I will close, and can move in before the end of the year. How’s that for ending 2022 with a bang!
I am also linking up with Tuesday Topics! Make sure to join the linkup!

The house was low in price but there were more repairs than I was willing to do.

Wow, that is great news, Zenaida. Buying a house is a big deal (sorry, I don’t know this – are you single and doing this on your own? Then that is even more impressive!) I am so glad 2022 is going out with a bang for you. Woohoo!
·
Yep, on my own so that is also why finding out about all of the repairs stressed me out.

I’m so excited for you Zenada! Try to keep thinking positively. Picture yourself living in your new wonderful home — and Mateo & Lola, of course, too. Fingers crossed!
I know housing has really come down in some parts of the country — it couldn’t stay that high forever. Can’t wait to hear how the inspection went!
·
The inspection went well but there are more repairs that need to be done and I didn’t want to deal with it. In a way it freaked/stressed me out.
·
I’m so sorry. The right one is still out there!
·
That’s so exciting! Congrats on your accepted house offer.

I decided not to move forward with the house. Will look again.

Congrats on the house! My son just bought a 2 flat on the north side and it’s so exciting! Will your mom stay with you?
·
I decided not to move forward with the house. Will look again. The plan is to keep the same arrangements as they’re now. Then when she can no longer walk or it is too difficult for her, then she will stay with me.
·
That is such great news about the house! That’s an amazing way to end the year. Fingers crossed everything goes smooth and you are holding those house keys soon!
·
I decided not to move forward with the house. I will look again because THE house is out there for me.

Back to the drawing board. That is OK because I know THE house is out there for me.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that everything works out with the house purchase! I still remember how nervous I was when we were there.
