Friday, April 17, 2020 – Second Worst Day Ever

Hi Honey,
Well, this was supposed to be a day of celebration, a day when I finally sell the house and get to move on. Unfortunately, it’s turned out to be a day of aggravation, irritation, stress and mourning, not that I didn’t finally close on the house, but that I learned that everything our Realtor told us was a lie from Day One. He never told the buyers anything that I asked him to find out. He STILL was saying he didn’t know what time the closing was until 10:00 this morning, though I learned later he had been informed back on April 7. Worse, he told me it was at 2:00 when in fact it was at 11:00. He told me everything was on track, when in fact, there were problems with the inspection, which I didn’t even know happened. I told my Realtor from Day One that this would be an “as is” sale, and he told me that was the way it was set up, that everyone knew that, yet I finally found out that the inspection required almost $10,000 in repairs, and that I was on the hook for it. The realtor told me he didn’t know anything about it, but that was a lie, too, he knew weeks ago, but didn’t tell me. It was a horrible, horrible day. I figured the whole closing was off, so I started working on putting a new base on my recliner, then suddenly I get a text saying they were going ahead with the closing. I did manage to get the realtors to cut their commissions by a tiny bit, but that was nothing compared to the hit I had to take. I almost didn’t go through with it, I was so close. Then to top it off, that idiot realtor first gave me the wrong office to go to for the closing, so I had to drive to two different places, then he didn’t even show up! What kind of realtor doesn’t show up at a closing? I’ll tell you what kind, the kind that lie and lie and lie and lie and don’t want to be faced with being exposed! I’ll be filing multiple complaints, believe me! I didn’t want to go through with it, but I just want this whole mess to be over with, which is exactly what this guy depends on, which makes it all that much more maddening!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I hate this, I really do. I’m so mad, I’m so beside myself! And now I can’t even depend on the realtor’s promise that he has a place for me to consign whatever furniture is left over after the weekend. So I may literally not have any place to put this stuff. Then what do I do? I’m not about to donate $1900 recliners to Goodwill! But I’m not going to hang around here for weeks trying to sell them either, nor am I going to put them in storage, you know how THAT road goes! I’m so upset, I don’t know what to do. I did finally meet the buyer at the house, showed him a few things, tried not to be too upset, but that was really hard, didn’t get back to the camp until after 8:00, then I had to finish up the chair base, which took me another hour. And to top it off, Lola didn’t get any exercise today, and there’s a storm moving in, so I’m likely not to get any sleep tonight either, she’ll be scratching at the door (though she was good last night, I had a good night sleep, only to be faced with this horrible day), and I have to get up early and move all the furniture into the garage, which is the only place the new buyer will let me keep it for a few days. Work, work, work, I can’t wait to get a day off!! I’m so tired. I’m sorry for ranting, but I’m really in a state right now. I’ll quit now and go to be before I explode, and hope I can get some sleep. Not likely, but I’ll try. Still love you! Good night!
