Some truth and concern about this. Until I bought this home (that I am leaving), I have lived my entire adult like in apartments or condo with common walls to the neighbors. Never had any real problems. Some places you could hear a little more than others....some places a little more than you wanted to.

My new place seems to be constructed well. We'll see how it goes.


So it is moving week (later in the week). Everything mostly packed. Boxes everywhere.

And my emotions are high. I liked this house, this neighborhood. The neighbors. The swimming pool. Gathering of friends and family most Sundays during football season out by the pool. I have great memories here. BUT it is also the house that my late partner picked out, and well I don't know how to say it but I just didn't want to stay here. Time to move on.

And while I am looking forward to moving on and new chapters, last night one of those really negative thoughts came into my mind. Later this week, we will make settlement on the new condo, paying in full. That will leave me very little money on hand, until settlement on the house the following week. So of course the negative thought: We make settlement and then in that 5 day window, something happens and settlement and sale of the house falls through. Everything I have to my name will be tied up in real estate.

I guess you can label me a worry wort, but I will be glad when everything is settled in 2 weeks.
