surprised to find I'm overcome with some mid-range anxiety.
What the hell?
I wasn't expecting that! I'd like to blame it on a bit of a hiccup
we've come across with the sellers but in all honesty, I've been
feeling this way for a few days now.
It's not buyer's remorse exactly. I like the house, I feel good about
our purchase. It's just...I don't know...jitters.
Lucky for me I have the best friends and husband so I'm getting lots
of support and am coming out of it. I feel calmer today even in the
midst of a bit of a storm. I just thought it was the strangest thing!
Wanna hear about my house?
House #5 is a little box of a house. A one owner 1960s rancher in
Central Edmonton. What can I say about it?
It has retro charm! Original woodwork and features, the little cupboard
in the kitchen with the original ironing board, a cubby in the hallway for
a phone, a cute little shelf dealie in the front entrance way.
The house faces south and has a decent sized yard with a solid garage. Both
the house and garage feel solid actually. It got a good report from the home
inspector although I'm not dumb enough to take that as the gospel truth.
Sometimes , shit happens, right? There is lots of stuff for us to do to improve
upon it but it's completely livable, as is. It just feels good! It's true what they say.
When you find "your house" you'll just know.
Having said that, our decision wasn't based on emotion. I like this house but
we chose it based on of criteria personal to us and our situation. We feel like
we made an intelligent decision. Time will prove us right or wrong I guess.
The teen daughter thinks it's too small. But seeing as she'll be 18 in a few
years, buying a huge house just didn't make sense. I'm going to try to pacify
her by letting her paint her room purple, heh.
