Our house in Ingleside, TX is currently has a contact to sell. We were hoping it would be an easy transaction after the couple who is currently renting it decided they wanted to buy it one month after they moved in. Not so much!
After a house inspection, there lender is saying in order to fund the loan, we need to make some repairs. One of those repairs is tenting the house for termites for which the only bid requested was 3,000 dollars.
We don’t have 3K in our pocket to pay for repairs, so it will most likely come out of what little profit we were going to make. Both Jon and I are not very good at handling the stress of this new situation on top of me going to back to work and the normal everyday taking care of things, coupled with the desire to get out of debt and take care of our children’s needs without asking for help.
Let’s just say, I am taking a vacation from life today. Well, at least until 5pm when I need to go set up for a fair at our church.
When did life get so complicated? I have a ask myself when did I start feeling like I didn’t want to participate in my churches activities? Our families health has been horrible this summer. Two bought’s with pneumonia, a second Diverticulitis attack for me, Jon with his never ending sinus infection, and I stopped my anti-depressant because it was too hard to treat me for Diverticulosis while on it. We have missed a lot of church lately on Sunday’s but lately I have been in the building more than I can count. I think I am so focused on a job well done at the expense of my spiritual feeding. I do, do, do for others, but I’m not giving to my own spirit. How can I give to others when I am not filled? I don’t know the answer to that, and if it is going to church today, it’s not happening.
And also? My computer is acting strange. The keys aren’t doing what I want them to do. They beep, and close my windows as I am working or talking to someone on IM. I suspect someone messed up my keyboard and didn’t tell me or something is fried in the hard drive or mother board. It gets super hot if I leave programs running and then acts strange. That is stressful in itself because I live on my computer and its an extension of how I communicate with others. I’m ANGIE*STAR, I need to be able to tell my friends and family information that I steal from the Internet! And also? I hate when I misspell a word and my software editor puts that squiggly little line under the word even though I know I didn’t spell it wrong! Like internet. It needs to be capitalized in order to not have that line. Gimme a break. I mostly can’t stand it because I always want to be right, but the word Diverticulitis isn’t in it’s dictionary and that line is just glaring at me from the monitor screaming that I spelled it wrong! I didn’t…I swear. Anywhoo (that word isn’t in there either! Dang!) I’m going to go take my blood pressure medicine that I have forgotten to take for about a week and go un-puff myself.
