*if all goes according to plan

I’m supposed to get the keys to my house today.*

I would like to get them today, but I don’t expect to get them today. One thing I knew from the start in this endeavor is that no dates are solid and everything takes longer than expected. So when I was told a month ago that I’d be closing on the 18th and that’s when I would get my keys, I was skeptical (doubly so considering that the 18th was a Sunday). A week ago the date was changed to the 24th… and in the same conversation I was told that we might actually close early and I’d get them earlier than expected. Right. So last Thursday when I signed all my final paperwork I was told “potentially Friday if we’re not busy, if not then Monday for sure” …and surprise surprise, still nothing yet.

I figure if I get them by Wednesday everything will be spiffy. Any longer than that and I’ll be a bit disappointed, plus rushed to get the house cleaned and all my stuff moved in since I have to surrender my Apartment keys this weekend.

Fun week ahead of me.
