The stock market took a pretty big hit today, all week actually. It was down almost 2% in early morning trading. I took that opportunity to jump on some stocks. Many investors probably jumped ship but must keep in mind to buy low and sell high.
Everything else in life seems to be falling into place. Our offer was accepted for a house in Hercules. This house isn’t our first choice but given the price, I am happy. It’s a short sale so we have some time before we have to make our final decision.
We are still holding out for our first-choice house. Well, my husband is, as I’m still trying to figure out how can possibly afford our first choice on top of all of our other expenses. The offer was put in late October and we are still waiting on a response from the bank. Yep, another short sale. I hate short sales. They should really call it “long sale” instead.In any case, I am looking forward to moving and decorating. With a kid, our current house has been completely overtaken by toys. The extra room will be great.
Not everything is going well. The parents are still at each other’s throat, and I think a separation is inevitable and a definite must for their well-being. There’s nothing I can do, but to clean up the mess when all this blows up. For the time being, I have stopped visiting them. No need to expose me and my family to the negativity. I lived with it for 27 years, and 27 years is more than enough.
