Just the List Today, Folks

Today I'm thankful because:

1. It's probably just about 2 more weeks until I get the results from my test.

2. I am really, really thankful that Z and I have super-high credit scores, because in this tumultuous time, getting approved for a home loan would have been much more difficult if we'd had sketchy credit. We may have other differences, but we feel the same way about money, which, I suppose, is another thing I'm thankful for.

3. Our timing with the house was pretty good – our apartment, which has a dumpster just like every other apartment in the world, has decided to begin a new "service." They are using a garbage pickup service and automatically charging us $20 bucks more a month. Yet there sits the dumpster with a handy little drive-through so you can easily drop your trash off. I don't get it… (But, at least they are also picking up recycling – hooray for recycling!) Anyway, for the rest of our lease, there will be an additional $20 due for no reason.

4. I just scheduled our home inspection for tomorrow afternoon. I feel almost positive that it will be fine, since it's a new construction, but you never know. Z and I are both "better safe than sorry" type of people.

5. The home inspection will be $25 less than I thought! (Which isn't much when you're talking about hundreds of dollars, but still…)
