Megan and I look at houses. No luck. We went to the White Horse Inn and had a fantastic meal. It is our 6-year anniversary.

PM: 3.25-mile walk with Megan. HR 83.

I think this is the day I went out to meet the realtor as Megan was working. Struck out.

Off.

Should have got something in as the drop in exercise seems to have made my anxiety worse. I called the doctor to get in next Monday.

PM: 67.6-mile ride. HR 157.

Anxiety has been brutal these last few days. The ride definitely helped, but it took me almost 3 hours to start feeling good. Need to not take days off unless absolutely necessary and to at least walk if I am not going to ride or run.

I tried to ride to the Fall 50 route and do that, but my GPS wasn't playing nice with the preprogrammed route, so I just changed plans a bit. I think the total mileage would have been closer to 90, which would have been fine but perhaps too much time to get back at an appropriate dinner time.

We are going to look at a few houses tomorrow.

AM/Lunch: 10.3 miles, averaged 10:38. HR 140.

We looked at two houses. We loved the first one. It was the first house that felt like "We could live here." The second one we looked at was doable, but not as nice as the first.

PM: 3.3 miles, averaged 11:27. HR 134.

A beautiful tie-dye looking sunset. First double since last fall I would have to guess.

Megan changed the preapproval and we signed documents to make an offer on the house.

I had to get out as I was waiting for numbers to be crunched. The seller's accepted our offer. So everything is not set in stone, but it's certainly advancing.
