Four, Twenty Seven, Twenty

I have a house. It's my fourth try. I haven't been overly excited as every other time I thought I had a house something happened. I still am waiting for the other shoe to drop. The inspection went well and the appraisal came in at contract price. Still not sure if it will really happen. My last home wasn't nearly so difficult to find and close a deal. Guess I am wary of thinking it is mine.

The twenty seventh of last month was an ex's birthday. I sent him a simple email. We haven't really gotten detailed in our exchanges. Guess he wonders what I want. I want to know he is doing well but not the details of his life. Is that selfish? And yes, although I hesitate to admit it, I would still be with him if he asked.

I close on the house on Nov 20th. I guess I can start breathing again then.
