We finally have the date for the closing for the apartment we are buying! November 10. Finally.

I got so tired and frustrated with the paperwork. We had a mortgage commitment but it felt like we were applying all over again. It was one thing after another. At one point, after the bank did a lien search, our mortgage broker tells us that Bear has judgment liens and he must pay it by closing. Which sent me in the confusion because, no he doesn't. I know his financial history and I've seen both our credit reports. I get the broker to send us the liens and, of course, they just searched for Bear's fairly common name in Brooklyn and found three guys at the addresses he never lived in and two bankruptcies of the guys with the same general name but with a different middle name and social security numbers. So obviously not Bear. But we had to prove it was not Bear. After back and forth with the broker and the lawyer the solution was for Bear to write a letter to this effect and notarize it. Just so much useless paperwork. I'm very glad it is almost done.

I haven't been feeling well lately, especially in the evenings, (I know why and it's a problem that will solve itself hopefully by the end of the semester) but that means I try to go to sleep when Tanya does and I'm usually in bed by 9. I don't have too much time or inclination to write or post, although I read all the entries, usually around 5am. Forgive me for the lack of entries for the next month. I will try. Early morning is great to catch up on TV.

I finished Season 2 of Flash, which I enjoyed and managed to catch up to current episodes of Season 3. I don't know if I will like watching the season in real time, I tend to prefer a whole complete season, but I will give it a shot. I don't know if I like the new timeline idea yet but we'll see. It might grow on me.

I finished "All the Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr today. It was really hard not to cry for the last 60 pages. He weaves all the narratives together so well and his prose is just so beautiful. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the two protagonists and I felt all the characters were fairly complex, even the villain. I'm glad I picked it to give to my Dad last year for his birthday.
