I’m not selling my house now. The market is shit. Home prices in my neighborhood have dropped $100,000 since I started selling my house 6 months ago. Sellers are freaking out and taking less money than they should be. Appraisers are appraising low. My agent talked to one appraiser who admitted that he appraised the house across the street not only based on current conditions, but factoring where the market is headed and based his appraisal in part on where the value of the house is headed. Which, not only do I think is bullshit since an appraisal should be a snapshot of what the home value is at the time, but I have to think it’s illegal. But whatever. It is what it is.
All that said, at least I’m no longer up in the air with where I’m headed. I know I’m staying here for at least a year. I have managed to put a pretty solid bandage on my financial wounds and will not longer feel completely burdened by money issues.
There are some really cool possibilities coming up with the band which may include international travel and that completely stokes me out.
I’m back to blogging and have restored my twitter account.
I’m going back to the non-emotive-not-happy-but-not-sad self that I was before my recent mini-depression. Yay me.

Yay! Welcome back!
Glad you’re “OK”… stick around for a bit!
It’s good to have you back. Hang in there. Best wishes
Jane – I missed you most of all, Scarecrow.
Tori – I’ll try. I move around a lot for a fat guy.
Crail – Thanks.
Woohooo welcome back!
I could write something profound about the only way being up from now on, but that would be bollocks!
You know what I mean ;o)
yay you! international rock star with a house in the states
Hey, good news! Welcome back! Missed you!
Hi!
I’ve been holding my breath all this time and now I can finally let it go!
WooHoo, you’re back.
Penelope – Expecting a man to be “up from now on” is a little ambitious, don’t you think?
Margaret – It’s where I’ll keep the drugs. Shhhh.
Gwen – Nice of you to welcome me back to my own blog. Were you keeping it safe for me while I was gone?
Fringes – You don’t say that nearly enough.
Hilly – I had to come back. You were turning blue.
Are you counting a Mississippi tour as “international”?
Because if you are, I an probably rent you a room at Liz’s house for pretty cheap. Just don’t tell her that I’m charging you to stay there.
Killer lives in his friend’s attic, in a house where a teenager and a grandmother also live. Are you sure you don’t want to bunk with him? I’ll bet he could set you up with a really kinky 3-way.
yay, you are back!!! wahoo!
