A friend said a funny thing to me the other day. She said she though that us waiting for this house is like a pregnancy. "Hasn't it been about 9 months?". She was right, Thursday marked 9 months from the time we had the original offer accepted. I don't feel particularly optimistic about it ever ending at this point. Don't get me wrong, I want it to end but I just can't see it. That's just me feeling sorry for myself, just for a moment, now back to business!
I've decided that I won't wait for updates anymore. When we went through this with the seller's first lawyer I would patiently wait for someone (anyone) to update us. Passive no more I diligently e-mail on Friday if I haven't heard anything by lunchtime. Yesterday was no exception, I got to brief e-mails stating that
- The file was up to date and the lawyer was waiting to hear from the bank and...
- At some point yesterday the bank decided it didn't like 2 files being separate and wanted the lawyer to combine them and resubmit. This was done and we are back to waiting.
Although there was in the end nothing really to update at least the lawyers are communicating what's going on every week. We will continue to keep ourselves busy. And this is not a problem, we've got a back patio to finish (which all this rain in Southern Ontario is not helping), Halloween to be ready for and after that we have 17 days to get ready for Santa's arrival (at The Toronto Santa Claus Parade of course). So even though we are busy, this process is never far from my mind. I could use a vacation right about now, even if it is a working one!
Have a great weekend everyone!
