Mid-February. We got an offer a week ago, had an inspector in Friday to
look at it. If all goes well, our buyers close on the 10th of Feb.
So I'm looking for work in the Seattle area. Portland would also work,
but right now, Seattle's in the lead (more options, though according to
one friend there, they've been a bit slower coming out of the recession,
and that's now starting to happen).

Hmmm, true. Though how she would do that wearing the cuffs, well, is a
mystery.... ;)

I read it twice, both in the original English and in American. I can't
make it read the way you think it is - have you had an eye exam
recently? Change in prescription? ;)

Just need the appraisal to be done, and then we'll have a firm date.
Seller's agent is out of town for the weekend.
