The bank required some additional information.  Everyone who made an offer on this house was told to give the bank their "best and final" offer.  (They are going to squeeze every dollar out of this deal that they can.  It's like a silent auction.  We have no idea what the other bazillion buyers are offering, so out of paranoia we raised our offer.)

We should find out in a day or two whether we get it or not.

Regarding my website:

If you've visited lately, you may have gotten a message that said my website was dangerous.  That is because someone hacked it and put some kind of malware on it.  I have since re-uploaded every single page, so it should be okay now.  I've requested Google re-evaluate it.

However, my website hasn't been updated in forever.

I've finished with my online class--that's the last one of those for a while.  Now finally I can focus on my writing.  It's nice to have time again.  I have nothing to do in this apartment except write--no home improvement projects looming, no packing.  (I suppose I could update my website!)
