House update & my cat's foot fetish

zhieAs I sit down to briefly write a house update, there is a cat wrapped around my feet. He's snuggly just about all the time, but when I get done with a shower he simply must glomp himself atop my feet and snuggle them like there's no tomorrow.
Which is what he's doing right now... snuggling, nuzzling, and occasionally licking my feet.
That'll make the house update less boring.
House update... last week Monday, we got the okay from the first of their two banks. Recap: It's a short sale, so we need the okay of the seller and their bank as less will be paid back than is really due on the loan. However, a double whammy on this one -- they have two mortgages on it. Short sale helps to keep the seller from going into foreclosure, and keeps the bank from losing even more in that sort of situation. Good for the buyer, too, because they get a deal but the house isn't trashed as is often the case with a foreclosure.
Today, the second mortgage okayed it. We now wait for the seller to sign some papers allowing us to go in and clean out the basement to make it presentable for the appraiser, inspectors, etc., etc., but that should go through in a few days and allow us to get into there next week to get the ball rolling.
What does this mean to you? Well, it means that all the sudden, probably some time next week, I'll probably be very scarce for two, maybe three months. There's a month of all the pre-buying stuff, then there's the fix it up month and then the move in month.
Heh, kitty's got both arms wrapped around one foot, and but trying to nuzzle the other foot.. silly kitty.
And, a lot of packing to come. Lots of packing. I expect to dream of brown corrugated boxes and rolls of bubble wrap for a while.
Big hugs and snuggles to everyone who was sending vibes and saying prayers and sprinkling pixie dust in my general direction! If all goes well, we should have one really awesome, fabulous homely house of our own in a few short months. ^_^

She has a bit of a foot fetish, if I sit on the sofa and have bare feet I usually end up with a kitty was right down to the nail biting! Boy do those whiskers tickle! :)
