Elmo is dead, long live the Unicorn [house]

Well, we still haven't signed an official paper, but we have gotten an email from our new landlord* going over details of the next bit: move in date, procedure preferences for house changes- stuff discussed one would expect when it's pretty much settled( The reason it's a unicorn )

Less excellent, but we'll deal( the less good )

We're signing May 15. Likely to get movers to do the majority of the transition on May 19. I had originally hoped to sign May 1 so we didn't have to rush before q_e and I go to Ohio for our big family bru-ha-ha for Memorial Day. However, we have 3 very dedicated people bent on making this work. Even if I do get weepy from time to time. It's expected. So, I may have been pre-occupied before for, oh, the past 2 months or so with all this, but now It's On. I'm glad I started packing slowly and weeks ago. Mind you, when my compatriots put their mind to it, shit gets done. Nothing like a clear target and set timing to motivate.
