Thanks for sharing. It's hard to believe there are good people in this world when you've dealt with so much crap.

I know in my heart there are so many good, great, and exceptional people in this world.  I just stink at picking the right one to have in my life every day.  Every time I think I did it right "this time" I'm proven so incredibly wrong.  I'd go to therapy but it would take millions of hours to sort this out I'm sure.   

Have a good chat with your grandma.

I know you can hardly wait to be back om your own, in that beautiful house. That time WILL come!

I'm sorry this house thing has been such a hassle. So impressed with your resilience. No matter how many obstacles stand in your way, you always find a way to keep going. Hang in there, TG.  

Not counting college, where I lived in 8 different apartments/dorms (!), I've lived in 7 different homes in 13 years. I am a master packer with almost zero clutter. Our garage is probably the only one in the neighborhood NOT filled with junk (no basements here in CA). I hear ya. 

Sorry that you are dealing with this crap. Buying and selling homes always ends up stressful for stupid nonsensical reasons.

Maybe run in bright orange to stay safe? 

Hang in there.  Not military, but I have a feeling you, your g-ma and I would have a lot to talk about.  

Have a good run tomorrow.  

College, running, enough endured to make you feel like wonderwoman... If you feel like Wonderwoman, you probably are.  

I believe that when times get sucky for good hard working people, a ray of sunshine will show thru the clouds and deliver them a much needed break.

when you get back from that long run, remember to remove your shoes before going into the house, sticks to shoes too.

There's always something. We've moved more than I like too.

Yes, everyone deals with a lot. Some are better at pretending they're OK. Some deal with things differently.

i was at a super low point in my life and sure things would never get better when a woman named Mo showed up and things were never the same. hang in there. happy endings are worth the wait.

That sure gives me hope.  ❤️

Proving the negative is the hardest thing. Hope the house stuff gets worked out soon. The tough stuff in life is not distributed evenly or in greater amounts to people who seem like they deserve it. Just yesterday I said to someone that it seems like the jerky people always do well. Sometimes work out and nice people do well too - hopefully things start looking up for you soon.

Your comment about joining the military made me laugh....I understand the feeling.  My littlest one (Natalee) is 5 years old and has lived in 5 different houses in three different States in her life.  We should only be hear for about another 18 months and it will be time to move again.  I think this is it for us and I am going to retire so I can give my kids some type of normal household living.

Sounds like a great plan.  Imagine all the quality training miles you could do in retirement! 😁

consider it all research for the great book you are going to write someday...

Good things come to those who wait. Isn't that the old saying? The saying never warned of the forced prolonged waiting period in which the shit storm starts and you're left with no umbrella. Sorry the home buying process is being so difficult. 

Oof, how annoying. Sorry about the delays... but hopefully it'll all be worth it. SOON!

I need a much bigger umbrella after yesterday.  I even called my realtor and asked if the sellers can sue me if I back out now.  They can which I expected.  If the bank can't close by the 27th, the sellers have already said the deal is off.  Good enough.  I'll live out of my effing car.

Ugh!  Hope everything works out, TG!

Sorry to hear you're copping the pineapple TG. Hope to hear you're in that beautiful house soon.

What in hell are you s'posed to do - re-lease the car and then bring along a mortgage rep so you can you re-return it in front of them?!? Good lord - why do things always have to be made so much more difficult than is necessary?!?

I have a similar train of thought like your grandma - my 'streak' only goes back to February of 2013 though. Never thought I'd make it this far, but I was absolutely FED UP with the games and the lies - it just wasn't worth my sanity and already shaky self-esteem. Not that there have been any suitors knocking my door down since, but it's still going to take one helluva hunka, hunka man to get me to change my ways anytime soon.
