First closing? Didn't happen since Seller almost broke her contract for her new place. Second closing? Didn't happen because Seller couldn't get her clear to close on time. Third time? Ah, third time was the charm!

It didn't come easy - I was scrambling to tie up my clear to close by the second date (but did it), and then didn't realize when they moved closing to Oct 13th it was the day after a holiday. I haven't gotten Columbus Day off in at least 10 years, probably more, so I forget about it. Turns out you can't send wire transfers then, so I had to go to the bank first thing day of the closing. All of the money got where it was supposed to, however, and I am now a property owner.

I also had gallbladder attacks Thursday and Saturday night, so I was functional, but barely by Tuesday. Thank god for working from home since I would have ended up in the hospital every time if I was out in public when an attack hits since it looks scary from the outside. I have to accept this as my new reality, learn a new diet until I can get to surgery, and suffer a few attacks along the way if I overestimate my fat absorption rate at the moment.

Throw another diagnosis on the pile!
