t weeping quietly in the corner
This day. I cannot bear this day. I've been stressed out on work for months, and I had the brilliant plan to add home buying into the plan. I have heard nothing, nothing about our offer all day long now. I am in tears and can't work. I am a moron and obviously not emotionally stable enough to buy a house.
I'm so disappointed in myself right now I want to hurt something. Punch a wall or window or bite my tongue in two.
so new Forresters are currently being built on truck frames, making them real SUVs, instead of big boxy station wagons.
From my reading, I thought the Forrester is still being built on the car frame. It's the other one that's being built on the truck frame.
Nora, None of those for you young miss. {{{{}}}}
ND, housebuying IS inherently emotional.
On the way to closing on our first house, my husband had to stop the car so he could throw up. Seriously. This is deep painful stuff.
Hey, Nora...want me to come get you and we can go for a disappointing cup of tea? Sounds like we're having similar emotional days...
vw, that's great to hear. I'm very impressed that you were able to get yourself from sounding so upset this morning to so "I've handled the situation" now. Sounds like you deserve an iPod just for that.
(and I hope that didn't sound condescending. I was just trying to say that sometimes we are our own worst enemies and it sounds like you triumphed over that today)
Oh Nora. House buying or building is incredibly stressful. Try not to beat yourself up too badly. When we were building this house, I nearly had a nervous breakdown.
Don't beat yourself up, Nora. Buying a house is stressful.
Also, Nora, hang in there... Buying a house is so stressful for everyone involved.
I think Nora and vw should take each other out for manicures or something.* You're both dealing with hugely stressful days and managing in the best way you can, and the fact that it's not easy is no reason to beat up on yourselves. Maybe it's easier to see from outside, but you're both hanging in there and doing things and that's exactly what you need to do. Hugs to you both.
* hee, x-post with vw.
