Misc
Light dusting of snow on the fields today. It snowed lightly a good part of yesterday and into the night, which is why I expect it's still here this morning...
Minor holdup on the house. Safety issue with basement stairs, which the sellers have to get fixed by a professional. No, they really can't build it to code themselves; their repair effort is likely why it failed. Then the appraiser has to come back and re-inspect, and then the lender will finance a mortgage for the house. Hopefully the sellers can find a builder who can replace the stairs quickly, and hopefully the appraiser will be able to schedule quickly. We shall see.
Still packing, but slowed down with other things going on -- minimum goal is one box per day.
Various joints and muscles are still at issue, but at least nothing is in spasm and in fact I've made it through a couple of kung fu classes this week and plan on going again tonight. Must, must, MUST soak in a tub before then!
There's more, but that's it for now. Have a lovely day everyone!

House update
Heard from our realtor, who heard from the sellers' realtor: Licensed contractor to do material list and design this weekend. Work will be complete by Tuesday.
Our guys have to call to set up appraisal for Tuesday or Wednesday. Hopefully that goes faster than full appraisal report, since it's just the one item.

Tanka - Nov. 28
I hold in my hands
threads of possibility
What future to weave?
The mists on field and hill clear
And above all shines the moon.

Kung Fu...
We ended up not going. Got out of the house in good time, but only by leaving most of what we needed behind :P Did go to David G's house and pick up yarn at least.
I think this transition period is leading to some lack of focus! Some days it's hard to know if we're coming or going. Hopefully we can get some solid planning in soon...
