This Is Sucking The Life Out Of Me

Buyers are sucking the life out of me !!!

I am selling a house in Maine (hahahaha).

That in itself is a joke.

We have rebuilt a classic cottage in Rockland Maine.....

We have rebuilt it from the bottom up.

New windows - new HUGE windows,

new kitchen, new floors,all new walls (insulation)

(Not to mention 90K invested)

It was so cold when we first moved here.

That was because the sub-zero winter winds were blowing right through the walls.

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, it goes on and on.

NO MORE.

IT IS A NEW HOUSE. 

It is F#cking Gorgeous !!!

The buyers 

don't need to be unbelievably demanding !

OH.....

BUT THEY ARE !!!

I could tell you stories.....

I actually had someone ( a woman)

write me a sad sack letter who wanted to buy the house because 

she ONLY had 80k in cash.

Newly divorced.....

a dog.......

No Kids.

Are you F@cking kidding me ????

I don't know the last time I had 80K after a divorce.

Actually, I don't know many people with 80K cash on hand.

When I got divorced WITH A CHILD (4 ys old)

I had ZIP. 

NOTHING !!!!

I had to pay my EX 30K just to stay in my house.

Call me crazy but 80K can buy you a lot of mortgage.

Am I Right ????

I am just thinking of heading SOUTH.

Timing is the issue, 

and that has me by the 'Cha Cha's'

I feel beat up and exhausted.

Believe me I am....

And I am one of those fragile souls.

It took me a life time to find that out.

I always thought I was tougher than I really am. 

One thing I have learned is this.....

Panic attack ?????

Jump in the shower and wash your hair.

You Will Be Alright !!!

It Is Magic !!!

Trust Me !!!

Linear Kitchens

I love this look.

I want a table that is extended and attached to the kitchen.

It is so sharp !! 

Do you not love the cement floor ??

Or at least appreciate it ?

There is so much more here.

This Is What I Miss And What I Will Not Regret Leaving

                                         

I miss Palm Beach Design.

I miss Palm Beach.

I mean just look at the ocean...everything.

It is paradise.

 

This is not what I will regret leaving.

I am so done..........! 

Right now I am in the middle of a windy crazy snow storm.

A BLIZZARD. 

Yikes.

 

Skidding around is not my idea of a good time.

I am curious....

Is it yours ?

 

I mean seriously....

this is no way to live.

The poor baby dogs !!!!

 

But then there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

And it looks like this !

YES !!!

 

I am heading home and can barely stand the excitement. 

Everything is done.

The condo.

The Mortgage.

The movers....

Everything !

Free At Last !!!

Nor' Easter In Maine - I Can't Take This Anymore !

 

This is like living in a mini hurricane during winter.

 

It's crazy.

But it is dramatic and beautiful in it's own way.

 

Again...CRAZY. 

I am from NYC & Miami Beach.

This is amazing.

FUN - NO, IT'S NOT.

 

The streets are treacherous.

 

I must say to someone from my background....

this is beautiful.

BUT

It causes electric outages all over the place.

Which is no fun !!!!!!!!!!!

                                         

 

See what I mean.....

it is pretty.

 

Let's just talk about the cars...

They get frozen over.

Just try and open the car door to get in.

NO LUCK.

I hope you are not late for work.

I was !

 

SOON

I will be back where I do belong.

Home in Palm Beach County.

Is this gorgeous or what ?

 

I can hardly wait !!!! 

Pray for me that everything goes smoothly with my new condo in West Palm Beach Florida.

I need to be home again.

Vitamin D...PLEASE.

It doesn't seem to me

that this would be a place for me.

Call me crazy (many do ) 

but this is not a place where vitamin D is everywhere.

It's actually no-where.

 

And what I never realized was this....

There is no Vitamin D here for about 9 months.

 

Vitamin D is important, yes.

But

just the view of  desolation in your everyday experience is overwhelming.

Yes

I am consumed by the depressing aspect of a cold desolate winter.

Frankly

I wouldn't send my worst enemy here.

Oh...come to think of it...

yes I would.

                                                 Please let this be my very last winter in Maine.
