Blah. Thanks for listening.
Completely understandable! I would be frustrated and anxious as well. January will be here before you know it. Maybe think of something new to do for Thanksgiving/Christmas this year. IDK what but if I come up with something, I will tell you. LOL1 -
feeling so down, things better get changed, not that I can do anything about it, even if it doesn't though!2

It's difficult to stay peppy, despite the likely move-in January date. Wanting to be in your new home by Thanksgiving isn't a selfish ask, nor was it an imperceptive expectation ... It was the glue that allowed you to tolerate the temp space all this time.
I for one loathe living in other peoples idea of their perfect space. Security is voided in temporary spaces. Your rant holds a lot of merit.3 -
People certainly let what is popular or easily accessible dictate their decisions over what is right and takes work to attain.

I want my Explorer back. I hope they finish it today. At first it was fun driving the 6 speed manual turbo that I am stuck with but I have discovered that I am a lazy driver and I am really tired of shifting in stop and go traffic.1

Awww TJ ... Was it something you were willing to share, as it was your thing with Hayleigh?
At least a dozen people got it after the funeral. I even let my 16 year old. Of course I'm going to say yes. That's something permanent and visable that will remind them of Hayleigh. When people ask what it's for, they'll talk about her. That's how she can live on. Still making people smile, even complete strangers.
It is such a beautiful way for her to live on TJ. 0 -

what's on my mind:
a best friend of a good friend needs a place to stay for a few weeks. i've room. but part of me is nervous. what if the timeline is over and they don't leave-though i'll make them sign something say they will. they have a place to live but is waiting for the current tenant to leave.
what if they are dirty? or loud? or a turd
i've been on my own for 2 years but i know my friend will do anything for me and has. so now i feel selfish
i know he wouldn't put me in a bad situation as he has had to white knight for me in the past.
i've never lived with anyone other than in the dorms and even then my roomies weren't often their room and neither was i.0
