Damn, It's Hot

It's 78 up here! Way too hot in these clothes! I've drank a lot of water today. I get to officially close tomorrow, and I guess next Wednesday. Looks like all 3 of us get to rotate this schedule for a while until Laurel gets to hire someone. That could take a long time with the new process it takes for a new hire. They have to be "matched" for the position. One would think it wouldn't take a rocket scientist, but that is for corporate to decide.

We are not going to be able to get a house at the rate of payments that will be required for us. Looks like a minimum of $1503 a month, without insurance and taxes, and including both of those, it's around $1744 a month. Not in our budget for sure. TJ was a bit stressed about it, he wants to get a house before he's too old to get a loan and get it paid off before he dies. At this rate, he'll be 74, I can understand his concern. I'm not in a hurry and all that we can afford is a fixer upper. Not exactly what we want since nither of us are skilled at remodeling. The houses we can afford are $150-175 and those are pieces of shit around our area. He is pissed because I told him to be patient, and he thinks I am waiting for a miracle to happen. Not exactly, but not out of the question either.

Had a lovely conversation wtih Bruce today, he called while I was on a coffee run at Starbucks for Melanie. Talked to him for 20 minutes to help sooth my depression of the current situation. It did help for sure. He was on his way to the Dr. having problems with his shoulder, it's completely numb. They are discussing surgery.
