I hate "wishing my life away" but sometimes that's what happens lol. I'm counting the days:
- Till DD find out if she passed her classes and gets her Bachelors degree in International Hotel Management. We'll find out on July 22 "at the latest". July 14 (a Monday) is a holiday here so I'm HOPING we hear on July 11, the Friday before the long weekend. But probably more likely July 18, before the following weekend.
- Till we sell that rental. ALL the papers are in order except for ONE, the one from the town hall stating if they want to claim eminent domain or not (I THINK that's the term). Per our RE lawyer, they never bother to answer if they DON'T want the property. If they don't reply within 2 months of filing the request, it's considered a tacit agreement that they DO NOT want the property. Those 2 months end this Thursday.
Then (per our RE lawyer's assistant) our RE lawyer will tell their RE lawyer to draw up the paperwork, which will take about 10 days (?!). So hopefully we will close around July 20-25.

I hate that feeling, when it seems life is putting you "on hold". And, you really don't want to make any fixed plans until you're sure what's going on...
Best wishes that everything goes smoothly for you & your family!

What are you doing to occupy your thoughts for the next several days?
You could--in random order-- 1)Take care of monkeys at the zoo 2)Read War & Peace 3)Iron underwear 4)Go to a place you haven't been--store, museum, crackhouse--one per day until you get an at least one of your dilemmas resolved.
5) ______________

Selling property in France sure sounds complicated. There seem to be a lot of waiting periods.
Patience is not one of my virtues (not that I have many virtues anyway lol), so I understand wanting things settled. Good luck on the property sale and good luck to DD on her grades.

LOL Chloe! That's a good one! I've worked a lot this week and I'm working tomorrow too, and then I have a ton of appts and we are going away for the weekend. But it's a great challenge! I don't think I could manage one per day but I'll try to do some LOL.
Pink, you are absolutely right, SO many stupid waiting periods! Part of me still thinks the buyers are going to reneg and opt to pay us 16K to do so. But about the patience, no, No and NO! You DEFINITELY need to rephrase that (like I do): "I have many virtues, but patience is not one of them." LOL!
DD, as usual, is SURE that she failed. We have been going through this EVERY SINGLE FREAKING year since she was in MS. Every year, she is SURE that she failed, but then she passes, generally by the skin of her teeth. Hopefully this year will be the same. DH says, why are you even worried about it?! I say, because she is always SO convincing LOL.

So did your DD find out about her grades and degree? I've seen the good rental sale posts on the other thread...

Nope, not yet. I guessing they are going to push it till Tuesday, or at best, Monday. So frustrating! I was sure they'd post the grades on Friday.
Thanks for asking!

July 22 finally arrived. The final countdown ...
It's 8.20 am here. DD is on her way to school ... (I couldn't take her because I have to take DS3 to an appt for his French nationality, but DD was fine with it because she's meeting her friends there.)
