Tomorrow is CD5 and therefore the first day I try Clomid. I'm to take 2 pills a day through CD9 (5 days). I nervous about side effects, I guess they can be bad, the emotional ones.
Here we go.
Oh, the people who looked at our house today also looked at the blue house, which Brian and I both think is weird considering they have a $221,000 price difference. Our realtor suspects they aren't actively looking for a house, they are just checking things out. They did like the house, even with all the colors.
I've never thought about it before, looking at houses, how it disrupts whoever is living there. Mostly, we've looked at vacant houses or houses with tenants (and both times the tenants were there). I don't think I've looked at an occupied house, but it wasn't on purpose. Brian and I were on our way to Costco to finally buy groceries after 3 weeks. The realtor calls and we madly shop through Costco missing much of the free samples (the best part of shopping at Costco I think). We get home and in a frenzy clean the house for the hour we have. This is not a house that can be cleaned in an hour even with two people so there was some prioritizing. And it needs staging lamps on, curtains open, and it takes time. We're both sweating like pigs running out of the house with trash to get the heck out of there in time. They come and aren't even ready to buy a house. It's just a lot of work, and I've never thought about it before, but I will remember. I guess I just thought oh well they have to leave for a half hour no big deal really but it really is.
So the guys interested in the blue house from last week. We know they got their preapproval letter but they work in the movie industry and are difficult I guess to get a hold of. The realtor lady who was interested in the yellow house from before decided she's still interested in the yellow house but wants the driveway deeded to her (it's a shared driveway, I know it's weird). I guess my problem is the driveway runs right up to the house and when I say right up I mean hood of car about 2 feet from the corners of the houses. So if she gets the driveway whoever lives in the blue house will have headlights running directly into the front bedroom whenever she comes home. I preferred it as a big sidewalk because the walkways of both houses also runs into the driveway, another problem for the blue house people. And we are also holding out hope that we'll end up in the yellow house, though I know I can't hold the yellow house, if nothing will sell and someone wants the yellow house, I have to sell the yellow house. So we told the realtor we would deed over the driveway AT CLOSING because if it falls through I don't want to deed it back and lose the money the new deed will cost. We wanted an extra $1000 for the driveway and her to pay for the cost of the deed (I don't have any idea what it will cost, will you need surveyors, it could get expensive).
I'm not happy about having the blue house be our backup house. We did discuss some affordable changes we could make to make it something we'd enjoy more. I really love the screened porch of the yellow house, I think it makes the house for me as sad as that sounds.
