A Contract Is ... What, Exactly?

There’s no news regarding the house. My lawyer has exchanged a few calls and letters with their lawyer, now that they finally hired one. I still say that we had a contract and they still say that we didn’t have a contract. (Then what the hell was that thing I signed?) We’re now asking for mediation as per the contract before we file suit, but they’re still trying to sell the house… to people other than myself or myself for more than the agreed-upon price.

But in other news, my loan was fully approved (at the contracted price), so I could essentially close at any time once they finally uphold their end of the contract.

Misery Loves Mashup

Right now I’m stuck between the lyrics of two songs, “Not a Day Goes By” and “Losing My Mind.” I wonder if I could take the sheet music and combine the two. It’s not debilitating, just a faded melancholy. Because truly not a day goes by that I don’t think of her, or see her face, or hear her voice. In my mind.

P.S. The expected 3rd word of the title is also by the same guy.

Demanding Performance

I have come across another fork in the road and I have taken it.

I was deciding whether to go for a house in poor condition in a great neighborhood or a house in very good condition in a good neighborhood. I’ve decided to go with the latter. It’s the continuing saga of that house that they won’t sell me even though we have a valid contract.

The next step is to send them a letter demanding performance by a certain date or else we’ll file a suit and put a lis pendens on the property. That’s Law-Latin for  “suit pending.” It will have the effect of keeping Big Bank from selling the property until the suit is resolved.
