the post where ernie sells his soul
So, I’ve been quiet on this weblog for a while, but I got a good reason to be. In a nutshell, I’m buying property.
I’m already pretty far along in the process - I found a condo somewhere in Fremont, my application has been accepted, the inspections have been done, the mortgage loan has been approved. All I have to do is strip down the wallpaper so it doesn’t look like I’m trapped at a Michaels store on LSD, paint the walls, and I’m set.
Emotions are pretty mixed, especially when it comes to blogging about the situation. A part of me wants to write about the wacky stories that come from purchasing a condo for the first time. The other part of me realizes that by buying property, especially with the aid of my recently-retired father, I plunge head-first into adulthood. By agreeing to live 10 minutes from my parents, I give up a sense of independence.
Yep. In exchange for some, uhm, “financial assistance,” I agreed to live ten minutes from my parents. It freaks me out too. But I do have my reasons for doing what I did - they just haven’t been posted for all of the Internet to read.
Maybe I will. Or I’ll just write some wacky stories about the realtor. Maybe I’ll do both.
