We've moved!

The settlement on 8/24 went well! Yay!

We weren't sure that the house would sell until we were in the settlement meeting, and the title company representative came in the room announcing that the buyers were fully funded. Then we had two days to move. My family & AF's family helped, and it wasn't an organized move by a long shot, but we got all of our stuff out of the old house just in time. We're still trying to sort out the aftermath at the new house.

Buying the new house hasn't happened yet. AF and his brother are still making arrangements, but they hope to have a settlement by the 16th. Until then, we're technically renting from AF's brother. We had to create a contract showing that we're renting so that I could enroll JF in school. We're still waiting for a placement meeting, to figure out which program JF should attend.

JF came down with a fever soon after we moved, and it went as high as 105.3, but it actually blew over in only two days. He's attending a new daycare now and he apparently loves it as much as the old one. I think he misses the old house, daycare, and school because he keeps talking about the "blue house" but he doesn't seem to be traumatized by the sudden move. He's good at going with the flow, I guess.

We still don't have Internet access at home, so I'm posting this from work. Maybe the next time I post, it will be from home.

Upcoming events:

  • Second appointment with the counselor will be this Thursday evening. (This was postponed from 8/30.)
  • The memorial service for AF's mom is this Saturday in Rhode Island. We will drive up on Friday and drive back on Sunday (at least six hours each way).
  • JF has an appointment with a DAN doctor on Monday in Virginia Beach (three hours each way). This is an appointment that I had made back in June, before AF said "no more" to the DAN stuff.
There are other things that I want to write about, if only just to vent frustrations, but I don't quite feel right about doing so at work. (I'm doing this on my own time, but anyone could walk up to my cubicle at any moment and look at my screen.)

Yes, you can't be too careful.

I'm glad the house sale went through. That has to be a huge relief!

I hope all the rest goes smoothly.
