DS2's MRI is scheduled for tomorrow. We still don't know what time, this hospital is busy enough that they don't schedule until the day before. Since patients aren't supposed to eat before the procedure, they schedule diabetics first, and children second. We've been told to follow up by phone with the neurologist one week after the MRI.

Our renter talked with our Realtor yesterday. She gave her assurance that she would be out by next Thursday. We've begun the eviction process. She's behind on rent - no payment in March, and no payment yet for April, and she was (very) late several times over the past year.

We've opted to do the house closing by mail, rather than make the trip. Part of me wanted to make the trip, just to see the old house again, and to meet the new buyers. But, for practical reasons, we're staying home. No reason to make the three hour (one way) trip.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this close being the real thing. It really sounds as if it's going to happen. The bank hasn't asked us to bring any money to the table (yet), and the buyer's inspector didn't come up with any repairs. And, the buyer/inspector has presumably been in the house recently enough to confirm that the house hasn't been trashed by renters. All that's left is move out on the renter's part. It's possible that a wall could get dinged up during move out, or that a piece of furniture has been masking some damage, or something like that. It's also very possible that the renter could leave without adequately cleaning the house. So, we would either have to make a trip, or hire a professional cleaning service. I guess that if these are now our worst case scenarios, we're probably OK.
