Say hello to the Donna villa:

If you squint, you might be able to see my black-cloaked figure standing by the door.

Settlement wasn’t nearly as daunting as I imagined. Charles was right when he said it would take about an hour. The very first document I signed said: Buyer is Donna S, an unmarried woman. I laughed when I read it and fought the urge to jump up and down and dance around. After about 1000 pages all requiring a signature, I shook hands with my realtor, the listing agent, Diane the seller, my mortgage broker, and the lady from the title company. Lisa and I got into her car and drove right over to our new home. MY HOME! MINE! We went inside and spent the afternoon walking around, standing, and sitting in every little room. It felt so right. I am happy. Very very happy.

Tomorrow, I clean and paint.
