My real estate agent left a message. I called her back. That manufactured home I made an offer on, the seller wants to take my offer. I have to talk to my agent more about it and go see it again.

So what am I doing? Sitting here anxious and worried whatever decision I make will be wrong. But I do want to get out of this apartment. The apartment is OK, but the rising rents and the owners have me worried.

you have to make a decision and stick to it Remy..I know it's hard but in the end you could still be where you are when you're 90...:(

That is what you want though isn't it? Just a big decision but maybe it would be the right one. I know the thing about living in apartments is that they are not your property. Sometimes I wish I had my own little house or trailer somewhere but I couldn't do that.

Thank you. I know I sometimes wish I had got a condo. I must have looked at a dozen of them. Never bought one. Could have afforded them. I was worried about noise and bad neighbors though. I did look at some that were a townhouse or single level. Just never bought anything and I wonder why now. Condos in my area are way out of my price range now.
 
@Remy My dad used to say that it's necessary and important to take action. No sense waffling. Just take action.

Yanno what I did? Of course you don't! I'm gonna tell you: I did my federal and state tax returns. Yup. I did it. And much to my surprise, the state is going to give me back $300+. I dunno how that happened and don't care. I'm just tickled that I hit the send button. Federal tax doesn't have to be paid until April 15...well, this year it's the 17th because the 15th falls on a Saturday, but I just didn't want it hanging over my head. It's done. Gone. Have the acknowledgement of receipt already. Yay.

I've been swapping journals.. I keep a hard copy of finances , and the one big one is now full so I've been sitting here filling out new ones...

While I was doing it I was listening to the prison calls which were recorded of Alex Murdough between him and his family.. My gawd.. I'm some kind of masochist..must be..lol

Nope, she called in.........she said she has a fever. If it is gone by Wednesday, she will come then. What are the odds of every single aide I got would call in on their first day? Lost count now.

This is almost unbelievable! What a bunch of deadbeats.
So sorry for you, Kat. :(

I just finished cleaning my bunny's cage and was planning on taking a walk to the dumpster because I probably won't be going outside tomorrow. We have a forecast of 10-26 inches of wet, heavy snow starting this evening. It has been raining and is cold but if it doesn't rain too hard, I can still do this. I hate having the garbage sitting for two days in my kitchen.

Yes, the 'Nor-easter. CT has been forecasting snow for 3 days, nothing. Today tho' its been raining all day and will over night. Chance of snow early Tues.

Have it inspected, Remy.

It’s time for you to play hardball. Put in all kinds of stipulations, ‘just-in-case’. The number one thing is a home inspection. Obviously she found out she was overcharging. Have a very, very frank talk with your realtor. It’s time for her to look out for your interests. Can you bump up the thread where you told us about this place.

Thank you Jules, I think it may have been this thread or another ongoing thread. I don't think I started a separate one.
 
I went back to sleep shortly after waking up late this morning. Late for me is 7 a.m. I fed Deja, ate breakfast, watched T.V. and next thing I knew I was waking up about 10:45. It was raining but I decided I'd better go downstairs and do a load of dark clothes; the first time I've gone down during daylight hours in months. The shower head sprayed up yesterday afternoon and got the ceiling, the floor and the part of Deja's litter wet, also the clothes slated for the laundry that I left on top of the commode. I put them in a plastic bag yesterday so I had to wash them today for sure.

Shortly after I came back up, Deja and I had our lunches (well really for me it was dessert). Not long after, my son picked me up and we went to Dollar Tree. They didn't have half of what I was looking for but I got the main thing I went for....my BFF's birthday card, which I'll have to mail tomorrow come h*ll or high water. I cleaned Deja's litter box again...seems like the 3rd time in 24 hours, so that stuff could be put in the garbage, which my son was taking out before one of maintenance men put the dumpsters on the street. Once they do that, they lock the gate.

This evening I ate one of the lobster egg rolls I got from Dollar Tree and put half of the clothes in the dryer. Then I went on FB for a few minutes before getting on SF. I have to do stuff to keep myself awake so I can finish drying the clothes before I go to sleep. I will do some "accounting" for my son and me and play Words With Friends. I will have the second part of my dinner (broccoli salad) and take my evening meds while watching T.V.

@Remy It seems like it was a long time ago when you talked about this place, and I don't remember the whole thing. Had you made an offer but lost out to another potential buyer? If that was the case, I wonder why the deal didn't happen.

Rain here mostly all afternoon. Haven't seen any snow yet, but it will probably fall when I am asleep. I will wake up to a winter wonderland!

But if it's not what you want, now that you've had more time since that offer, then that is okay!

I remember there were things you did not like or want.

And that wasn't your original offer, so be sure that you really can afford however much they'd gotten you to up your original offer. There will be plenty of unseen costs, to get it into the condition that you want and need it.

It's a big decision so of course, feels stressful and worrisome, but you can make the decision that's right for you. Take your best guess, and go with it.

I planned to have a normal day, but after being up for about an hour (long enough to have lunch), I decided to go back to bed. Read and then slept.

I got up long enough to make supper. Now I'm reading again. Sleeping soon.

I wish every day could be like this. But no....

I wondered why I had not seen you today. I also have those days when I just want to sleep, not think about anything. I call it ghosting myself. I have the 3 dogs, they are not buying it. I will say they did sleep with me, not a peep, until 3 pm. Big dog came in the room, he needed a potty, he does not make a sound but the two littles then went crazy barking, so up we were. You sound a lot like me, living alone, trying to fill the day. You do better, reading club, language partner. Have you thought about a pet of some kind.

I don't like to get out much but the senior center, library, mall are all close by. There is also a junior college that offers adult continuing education classes. You are smart, have so much to offer but if I have read it right you have been forced to move to a location that does not have many things available for seniors. Are you looking at that, if a move is possible to put you in more of a community that offers services, opportunities for seniors. Does your health allow you to volunteer in the school district or at a local hospital?
 
@Remy
I didn't mean my above post to sound like you shouldn't do it.
Even though it's stressful, this might be the right thing for you to do, if you think it's probably your best option. So might mean to go forward to check it out further, hoping to do it, and then decide.

I don't want my above post to discourage you. Just meant it's okay not to do it, if you don't think it's right for you.
 
Morning, notice nothing good preceding that....it is 2am and
i am sitting here with outbreak of the "itchy's"....don't have
any idea why, but both legs and stomach area are itching like
crazy, no way I can relax with this going on...got up and used
a cream all over areas but don't know if that will help or not....
grrrrrrrrrrrrr:confused:
