our household has been quite busy this week.

the house is on escrow, and if not jinxed by this post and everything goes smoothly, we need to move out of here on the first week of march. thing is, we cannot finalize a deposit for an apartment until we are truly sure the buyers will not cancel at the last minute, (like the day before escrow closes) so we are sort of hanging. the previous buyer cancelled when we least expected it, so we are very cautious about getting excited in packing our stuff.

the main thing that constantly occupies our mind is where to move. out of state: arizona and texas came up. still in california, bakersfield and beaumont came up. then again, there’s nearby communities that seem perfect, except that houses there seem to cost like they were built on top of an oil mine or something. even the most unrealistic idea of going back home to the philippines for good came up. of course  we are moving somewhere, but i don’t want to put a final word on it till the “for sale” sign has been covered with a “sold” sign.

anyway, termite inspection tomorrow, house inspection on thursday. add two toddlers who had stomach flu in for the past three days, and a husband who got the bug and doubled the symptoms, the house is definitely smoking with activities.

here’s hoping your days are not loaded with things that need thinking, and deciding, but with things that are both entertaining and relaxing.
