Got a call from our real estate agent today. She calmly said the closing is scheduled for Friday at noon. Friday? What happened to today? Well... Buyers' mortgage agent (eTrade, make a note) has been MIA since Thursday. Finally surfaced today. Wondered why everyone's in a huff. She ignored the fact that the closing deadline was last Friday or that the buyers' rate lock-in expired on Sunday. Anyway, today's out. Who the hell knows why tomorrow isn't possible. Friday is October 1, the point at which our mortgage payment will be 30 days late. We didn't make a September payment because our mortgage company (Chase, make a note) can take weeks to post payments. We were afraid that thousand dollars would get lost when the Title Company called for a payoff.

It will get done. It will. <----- my mantra
