What Work Is
Okay that title is a reference to one of my favorite poems.
So you know what work is, but this is what work looks like for me.
Or, more appropriately, what I look like at work.
We had quite a whirlwind weekend. I came down with a bad case of the snots. We looked at houses on Saturday and - hold your breath here - put an offer down on one. A little impulsive? Maybe, but we looked at a bunch of houses that day and it was so obvious that this house was such a good idea that we had to move before another anxious couple did. So the seller accepted our offer! We are now going through all the paperwork and inspections and excitedness. But I am a very superstitious person and don't want to jinx it because I've watched other people go through house buying to this point and seen it fall through for one reason or another and I don't want to count my chickens quite yet. But I'll just say that you all can START to feel excited for us.
All the snots and house stuff has put my knitting on hold for now. I have a tubey update to post soon, though.
Keep your fingers crossed for us!

I'm burning incense to the gods of successful closings, crossing my fingers, AND doing a happy dance for you.

Yippee!!!!
I knit about 20 dishrags about this time last year, as I got ready to move and waited for closing. It's amazing how useful they are.....
Fingers crossed.

I remember that I was completely sure that it was going to fall through any day for any reason, but somehow it didn't and I have a house - hope the same happens for you!
