Out of house and home study

It was a good day. The settlement on our house went through with flying colors, so we are now officially houseless, if not homeless. The only remaining detail to go through is with the Deadbeats, who persist in the foolish notion that the money in escrow is somehow theirs by right. We'll deal with that next week.

The Ohio birth certificates arrived this week, so another tick can go into another box. We also sent out possibly the largest cheque I've ever written to Bethany to pay for our home study.

Also today we had our physicals with our Primary Care Physician, who, as it turns out, is from Guatemala. Not bad for using the dart method of choosing a doctor from the insurance web site. I think we were the only white people in the waiting room. No problems to report. I have to report back on Monday for the results of my TB test.

Pam came out for the home inspection part of our home study. The only snag was that we discovered that there were no batteries in our smoke detector. Easily fixed, and that was that. The physical report and one reference are the only remaining details for the home study's completion. After that, we mail it off and get an appointment with the FBI.
