On Monday my uncle hadn't signed yet, but the solicitor had confidence he would. Yesterday we started transferring the money to the solicitor's account. If my uncle wouldn't sign it would be returned immediately.

The solicitor just called, my uncle did sign! So now my father's going to the solicitor on Thursday morning to sign all the documents and then the house is ours!
Wonderful! Though I confess, after all this time, and all the problems, I keep expecting something to interfere at the last moment. I've followed this saga from the beginning, and I'm quite sure I'll miss the periodic updates!

We're still expecting *something* from my uncle. But he's signed and we can always go after him for the stolen money if he gets annoying.

We still can't believe he's signed. Yesterday we weren't surprised by him not having signed yet. The optimism of the solicitor we found a bit too early; my uncle has promised to do or sign various things only to back out at the last minute.

I had promised myself a new electric plotter when this is over. So I can now start saving and start looking at which I want and which accessories and blades I want. (I'm also working on my dad that the store buys a simple heat press, so we can design and make our own linen bags).

Kinda obvious, isn't it? Your dog can't catch COVID-19 from a groomer who has to stand within an arm's reach of them. You can.

Maybe if you ask nicely the dog groomer would help you out.

But, but, badgoodDeb, doggies ARE catching Covid! Surely that means that wodin's opportunities to catch same are EEO.

And then spreading COVID back to humans? I knew cats have been seen with the disease, but purportedly could not spread it back to us. (Didn't know dogs had yet had the disease.)

Dunno, but it jumped species at least, what, 3x already? Bats to humans, humans to both cats and dogs. (I feel like there's a Bill Murray quote/joke in there, somewhere...)

Y'all realize I'm being a skoosh humorous, right?

The SpaceX launch with astronauts on board has just been scrubbed because of weather. They'll try again on Saturday.

Several cases of cats and dogs with COVID-19, in at least three or four countries.

Now watch out for minks:

Frankly, I'm enjoying my temporary return to my college hippie days!

And if anyone asks, I remind them the barber shops are closed. It's not my fault.

I was so excited and anxious and then... scrubbed 17 minutes out. So now I get to ride the roller coaster of emotions again on Saturday. And maybe also Sunday.

I did hang on, and it was AMAZING! (Wait, can I be giddy in this thread? ) We did it! Okay, they did it, I only watched. But still.
