Morning! Last 5 days. House is pretty much stripped, ready for the movers. Dealing with closings, money transfers, and way up on the β€œthis is going to be a clusterfuck list”, moving with 3 cats that are not portable and hate being handled.

All the art is off the walls, all the holes patched and painted. Plants that needed a home have been parceled out. Tomorrow rugs will be rolled and taped; house cleaned for the last time.
Bitch is, we don’t close till April 2nd and this all could fall apart.
We have bought and sold 6 houses and this Florida transaction is the biggest cluster fuck ever.

allegedly we close both houses in two weeks. Why allegedly? Because shit happens. Done this dance 6 times and the last two weeks are nerve wrecking, loads to do and hope for the best. Daughter and I are chill since we go in autopilot and get things done. Husband turns into a fucking asshole who, though wrong every time, thinks he knows best. Fun, not!

We found a house, put in an offer, it was accepted; now, hopefully, to close in FL and drive away. The next two weeks are going to be 🫣

Buenos dΓ­as! Rise and shine. Shower, breakfast at Huddle House; off to look at houses. We had looked at this development back in January before we knew if the house would sell. Here’s hoping, we have two weeks to get this cluster-fuck sorted…

So the house we put an offer on had multiple un-permited work done; a deal breaker. Somehow we have two weeks to find another house, put an offer, close, and move.
I swear this FL house is haunted by my crazy family and are not letting us move.

The only people who like DST don’t have to go to bed by 8/9PM every night to wake up at 4:30/5:00 AM everyday. I will die on this hill!

If you are paying for vegan deli slices, pay no more. They are easy to make at home. Excellent recipe at Sarahsvegankitchen.com For chicken flavored, Mrs. Dash Chicken and some sage; for Mexican, a can of chipotles, sauce and all does the trick. Italian? Healthy dose of Italian seasonings. We are generous with the powdered onion, garlic, paprika, and pepper.


On a happy note, I finally figured out perfect pie crust from scratch. I know the woman who can make mallorcas, stuffed cinnamon rolls, has kept a jar of sourdough going for over a year, can cook you name it couldn't make pie crust to save her soul

Also figured out baking powder biscuits that don't scream baking powder

It's a win

Still waiting on the appraisal

The latest Florida Scam:
Buyer sees houses with nice appliances, makes offer, goes to closing, takes possession, moves in. Surprise! Buyer has replaced the nice appliances with shitty ones.

On a different note... the people who want to buy our house and have no $$$$ are relying on a huge loan for their purchase. For the loan to go through, the house has to pass a couple inspections. Interesting part is that they keep calling the tradesmen and almost harassing them to get the inspections done. Wish someone would tell them that pissing off trades is a really bad idea.
