I sold my house. I took bottom dollar, even though they wanted me out in 3 weeks. I had termites, a crappy home inspector, and a positive test for Radon. I had a kick ass realtor though (Pam Socha, House of Brokers), and she made it happen. She gave up a little skin, I gave up a lot... and the other side didn't give anything. Cash buyers though, so I guess not much incentive for the other realtor to give up much.
In the last two weeks I've averaged less than four hours sleep a night. Thursday morning when Ray didn't eat his cereal and I didn't know it, and Mackenzie was yelling at him as we were walking out the door... I had had it. I sat down and cried. The kids were amazingly good after that.
Yesterday I didn't cry... I drank. I was cleaning out the garage refrigerator, and found an old bottle of champagne. On a whim, I popped the cork, said here's to you... and I drank some of it. One full glass, on little sleep and an empty stomache. I was cured of all my woes.
My closing is on Friday of this week. I'm moving into a temporary home, and building new. The builder happened to have a house available that's currently for sale, and he's renting it to me for a song. Nice. I just hope Friday gets here...

That sounds like one massive dose of stress! Good luck with the move.
ReplyDeleteHow's the training going?
Bryan! Hi, how are you? My training is... well, non-existent at the moment. I plan on picking back up when I get moved (at a minimum, running). My body went on strike, I think. Not sure, but I didn't get rid of the tri-bike!
ReplyDeleteI’m good thanks; well I’m still managing to run and enjoying it. My body doesn’t appear to be working quite as well as it should do so I’m seeing my doctor tomorrow. But hopefully things should get sorted and I’m starting to plan next season already.
ReplyDeleteI managed to run the Paras’10 race in September and it was great fun getting covered in all that mud.
Looking forward to reading about your running exploits again once you’ve moved.
