feeling Scared
Hi All,
As you know my life is in turmoil right now. I've been packing up my life into boxes. Throwing away stuff I didn't need anymore. I asked two neighbors if I could move in with them. One said she thought it was a good idea, she lives alone and retired last year. She has a dog, she had approached me last year about getting together and getting to know me. I was kind of reticent about it. I didn't know her that well and we'd only seen each other when I'd meet her when she walked the dog or at our community pool events in the summer. Even then she barely said two words. So I didn't jump all over the situation when I should have. the getting to know her thing.
Well in the end she said she didn't feel comfortable so that fell through.
Another lady, I've been cat sitting for her for almost 2 years, I asked her and she said she would let me stay with her. We haven't spoken about all the particulars, finances and all. I don't have much money. I was hoping she would let me stay with her and when I get a better paying job I'd start to pay her. I plan to meet with her this week.
I thought I had a little more time. the friends I am living with plan to move out of here in July. They want to put the house on the market in May. I figured I could still keep my things here, move them out of my bedroom and into the laundry room in the basement if need be
Well they met with the real estate on Fri. an apparently they offered to take over the house May 1st and do all the work for them and sell it. And they would have to find temporary housing until they mov in July. He said he might have a friend he used to work with they could stay there. The friend travels a lot and isn't always home. I'm not sure how that would work considering they have 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs and some hamsters. Not sure if the friend would like the animals being in his home.
So I'm scared and stressed to the max. I took a break yesterday and went out with some neighbors. I'm trying to stay strong and positive but I'm scared. I wanted to stay here a while longer in VA but I won't be able to without a roof over my head.
My other option would be to move in with a friend in Nebraska. She and I have never met in person but we've known each other online for 16 years.
I want to enjoy one more day and then deal with things this week.
