Journal blinder's Journal: Thy Deed Is Done 17

Journal by blinder

i just got out of the settlement. it took 45 minutes! 45 minutes to make my house someone else's.

they seem like a very nice couple. first house, just moved from the uk seven months ago. they are very very excited. they are moving in on saturday. i left them a sofa and a futon. they were very thankful.

i liked them.

so, i am no longer a home owner. actually, i no longer own a house in baltimore. all of my ties are now officially cut and signed in triplicate, notarized and filed with the county courts.

i feel good. i feel a huge burdon has finally gone away. i can now put all my focus and attention on home, in that i no longer have this *thing* 400 miles away that i need to do something about.

so, as i sit in this starbucks and write this journal, i am thankful that this task is done. how appropriate that this should happen two days before thanksgiving.

      • that word leapt off the page and I was like... is it wrong? I think it's wrong... maybe it's right... he's pretty smart... typos happen... OMFG IT'S SO WRONG.
      • Yeah! Blinder and Sol! Happydays. Don't gorge yerselves, Thurs.

        Nits. Picking.
        "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" was a cover. Nina Simone recorded it before the Animals... Now, "Don't Bring Me Down", "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "It's My Life". That's the stuff!

        Who remembers pre-"Buster Pointdexter" David Johansen doing these as a medley? Back when MTV was new, and needed lots of material to fill those long hours, a live version of this was in regular rotation. I remember it as being really good.
      • DAMN. my music-fu is on the fritz. i had the nonsensical thought that burdon was a wine (although it's not) and was going to joke same until i scrolled down and read what burdon REALLY is. jesus, i really should have thought of eric burdon. i'm losing it buddy, I'M REALLLY LOSING IT!!![/kramer]

        we gotta get out of this place,
        if it's the last thing we ever do.
        we gotta get out of this place,
        girl there's a better life for me and you.

        nice "foresaking grammar all for a rhyme" there eric old pal. ;)
  • I'm glad this little burden is off your shoulders. Clearly, it has been bothering you for a long time. It seems, longer even, than since you moved away from it.

    Clearly, you are happier now... Put on Bruce Springstein's 'Hungry Heart', turn it up, and head home. You are needed somewhere, and that's the best place to be.

    For myself... Home is where I feel most welcome. Many times, that is not the place that you provide yourself, but the place that is "built" by someone who wants you to be there.

  • Nice to have that kind of stuff done and out of the way, isn't it? Did you get your money back out of the house and all that?
  • they seem like a very nice couple. first house, just moved from the uk seven months ago.
    You sold to those people! There goes that neighborhood.
  • Nothing quite like a new start ;) , had one myself and moved a few thousand miles away heh . Best thing I ever did
  • feels good, doesn't it?

    Hope you (and Sol) have a great Thanksgiving. Yes, very appropriate indeed!

  • Thanks giving for endings and new beginnings.

    ^_^

  • Looks like you've got lots to give thanks for this thanksgiving.. enjoy your turk... err tofurkey.
