UPDATE - Inspection - Apartment

I didn't sleep at all last night, so when I got up around 10:00 I was cross and grouchy. I'm glad no one was around. I paced the floor till Jim called and asked if I knew anything yet about the condo inspection. I then called the Realtor and she had just got off the phone with the agent saying we have to fix stuff, but it's all minor. We SHOULD have the list tonight sometime. She's going to help if we need other people to fix something. We're in a condo, we don't have the tools or the know how to do much. Later in the day she called again saying we should be ready to go with the loan and once things are all fixed we may be able to close earlier then the September 16 date. We'll have to see how it goes.

Jim went to the apartment complex to sign the papers and get the keys. We've decided to sell the washer and dryer here because there's a water heater in the same closet area which looks like our dryer should go, but the dryer is too big to fit under the heater. We're thinking it's for apartment size W/D so we're going to sell it before we move. Now we have keys to the apartment. I'm feeling a little better and a little more relieved but still keeping an eye on the loan yet to go through for the buyer. I'll probably move small stuff over tomorrow or wait till this weekend.

We have a new resident at work. It's a SHE and it's a garden spider. It's been a week since she showed up in our window. I hate spiders but this one is so fascinating the way she makes the web and so precise. It's amazing! There was a huge locust in the web yesterday she took what she wanted and kicked out the carcass. I cant' get a really good picture and the web doesn't show up in the picture, but it's really big web. I had another web picture on the blog the other day, but that's much bigger spider then the one we've been watching.

The white webbing that's below her is to scare off birds. Check out Wikipedia for more info. It's quite interesting. I'm just glad there's thick glass between her and us. By the way, she mates and eats the male. That's proof women rule.

Time left to get on the Road 23 weeks 4 days
