mail service conundrum

I am a person that makes decisions easily. I look at the options and pick one quickly and decisively.

So why has it taken me months to pick a mail service?

I literally can't make this decision. I've waffled endlessly. The decision shouldn't be that big a deal--after all, I can always change my mind later. It isn't like people don't change their address.

the options:

Escapees mail service--Texas address
Alternative resources--South Dakota address
temp use a relatives address and have them forward things until we pick a new residency state
temp California based mail service

The problem is that I don't yet know where I want to establish residency--stay Californian for awhile? Texas, South Dakota..other? The easiest thing would be to use a mail service based in my likely new residency state. But residency isn't a slam dunk--its more than just income taxes, registration and sales tax--there is heath insurance and rv insurance. Texas would be better for us for health insurance, South Dakota for RV insurance. And there are some nice things about just staying with CA for awhile.

For these reasons, I'm a week from being out of my home and needing to shut off utilities and so forth and I still have no mail service established.

Half way through escrow

People told me escrow is nerve-wracking and "don't count your money until the check is in hand"--I'll admit it, I didn't believe them. Well, from experience let me tell you--escrow is nerve-wrackign and don't count it done til the money is in hand. Our first escrow fell through on Day 17. Day 17 was the final day of the "inspection period"--prior to this happening, I hadn't paid attention to that little clause. Our buyer had buyer's remorse and decided he had offered too high a price. I wouldn't have been as upset had it just been that the constractors costs were too high or he didn't like the pest report...no, they decided to try and bargin the price after the fact...and when not in competion with two other potential buyers.

This escrow is going well. Our inspection period was only 10 days this time and no issues thus far. It is finally seeming real that we will actually be living in our RV sometime in the near future--seeing all your furniture stacked in storage helps this vision of reality.
