Quick house/leg updates

Well, we've signed the contract on the house, so there's no chance of losing it. Of course, we've been this far before. Our home inspection is Friday, but we're feeling pretty good. My guess is he'll have a problem with the electrical system and the roof. The age of the roof is unknown, and the house is from the '50s, so it'll probably need some grounding work on the wiring.

Still, without a crawlspace/basement/Viet Cong tunnel underneath, our chances for mold or foundation problems are pretty minimal. Fingers crossed. It was also owned by the Realtor's son, so I can't imagine she let him buy a deathtrap three years ago.

It's looking like we'll move in around mid-July. Karen also continues to have good leads on the job front, so things are looking pretty good for us.

As for the knee, I'm about 95% recovered from surgery. I graduated physical therapy last night, meaning I can return to moderate physical activity. It's still painful to kneel down and pivot on the bad leg, so my interpretive dance career might have to stay on hold for a while. Yoga, rollerblading and competitive Muay Thai kickboxing should be OK, though.
