Can you pull out of this agreement and find another place to live? When are you supposed to be moving?

I don't know. We might be able to, we might not. I'm terrified. We are supposed to move in t looks at watch 25 days.

does she not understand that she gave you wrong information???

I think she does. She's just trying to avoid saying "I made a mistake". I suspect she wants Aimee to say first "well, then, we aren't moving".

This is my suspicion as well. I think that she thinks that because we are kind of desperate and don't have great credit etc that we'll take the condo no matter what. I have news.

What really really really strikes me as (not so) funny? Three years ago the same thing happened to us. We were moving in 25 days and were told the place we were supposed to move into was no longer available to us and we had to scramble. That was when we were supposed to move into the house we currently live in after moving across the country.

So, it could be worse, I guess.

Twenty-five days is plenty of time to at least threaten to break the whole thing off. If this had come out three days off it might be hard to have much credibility. But that's enough time you can make a real threat, even if you still do intend to take the deal.

Hope you can get all the condo stuff worked out, Aims.

I just realized -- if I do need surgery, and it's within the next few months, then trying to schedule surgery, a dissertation defense, and moving to wherever I get a job all withing the summer will not be fun. At all.

The people in the alleyway are chanting. I can't understand the words, but the rhythm sounds like one of those chants in horror movies that are supposed to do some fun seance stuff and end up raising evil spirits.

Also, the next person who informs me that the best way to advocate for veganism is to be a model of good health is going to get smacked with a crutch.

{{{ Aims }}} If it makes you feel any better, I am moving at the same time, halfway across the country, and I have yet to find a place. Yikes! Seems there are a ton of upper apartments, and few lowers. Alas, stairs for home is the last thing I want. Groceries and laundry are not easy on crutches and steps.

Hil, I might have missed something but was there even a timeline for this surgery that you might eventually need? Don't go borrowing more stress until you know specifics, maybe.

There wasn't a timeline. You're right -- next step is new ankle brace, and any surgery will be only if that doesn't work.

Hey Cass - I sent you email last night. You get?

Does your window open enough for a bucket of water?
