My loan person told me last night that we can probably close as early as February 12th or so. Then I asked my real estate agent, and she checked with the seller's agent, and they said they have no problem with me taking possession early, as the place is empty anyway.
We could possibly be able to start moving in, in as little as two weeks.
And then it hit me.
I have 15 years worth of stuff stashed in this house. The Dread Reverend has his whole lifetime's accumulations of possessions here. There's no way in hell we can pack all this stuff to be ready to move it in two weeks. It's not that physically we can't get it there, because we can - we'll rent a truck - it's that physically I don't know how we're going to get all this stuff packed in two weeks, without working every waking hour on it. Well, it may come to that.
I thought getting packed and out to Pennsic was a treat. This blows that out of the water.
The good news is, under the current regime, no one is going to force me out of my house before I'm ready (they tried; I rebelled; I prevailed). So as long as that status quo remains, we have about two weeks to move after we get the keys to the new house. Still seems almost impossible, but I guess we'll make it work.
Eeeeeeeeeeee! (excited - can ya tell)

This means I'll NEVER see you! Great Googly Moogly, woman, you need to start sorting. Rent a dumpster, trust me on this, you'll wonder why you even have some of the stuff you've squirreled away in your house. I recently went through a closet in my house thinking I'd donate to the clothing bank as they take household items also and I ended up trashing half of it because it was in such sad shape that no charity would accept it. Seriously. Besides, you can finally cash in on all the wedding/baby shower gifts you've had to purchase over the years. Give EVERYONE an invite to a housewarming party and tell them where you're registered. I've ALWAYS wanted to do that.
I already know what I'm getting you. But it's one of those things that we'll have to go shopping for together, because you really, really need to pick it out for yourself. :D
Think you can escape anytime before it hits the fan?
