Today I signed all the paperwork on my condo! I will take possession tomorrow. Whee! (now to find a mover and get as much stuff packed as I can and omgomgomgomg)

The title company gave me a bottle of Champagne Savoie-region sparkling Chardonnay to celebrate. I'll just have to save it for the housewarming party, along with that bottle of nice Prosecco I've been holding onto since I forgot to break it out at my LAST housewarming party.

Oddly enough, even though the paperwork was way thicker than when I bought the place in Seattle, the signing went a lot quicker. In Seattle they insisted that they read to me the entirety of the paperwork (this title agent just summarized and I'd already read most of the stuff in advance anyway), and also in Seattle they insisted that I add my middle initial to my signature even though it's not as if the first or last names are recognizeable in it, while in California my usual 400-millisecond degenerate Bézier curve pair was sufficient.
