It’s frustrating, isn’t it?
Dealing with disappointment.
Things that are not in your control.
How others handle things.
(which is not in your control)
Even when you do everything you can possibly do.
Michael and I encountered our first house hunting upset.
We found a beautiful home in the location we wanted. It checked all the boxes. It went live Thursday and we were one of the first people to see it. Put our offer in that night. It was clean and tight. And a damn good offer!
I will spare you the details, but we jumped through just about every hoop that was laid out.
And ultimately had a very disappointing and unprofessional experience.
There was game playing involved.
And some unethical practices (including continuing with an Open House even with a ratified contract?!?).
UGH.
So we start again.
It’s interesting though. It is a great practice of non-attachment. And trying to be unemotional about what may be one of the biggest decisions of your life. At least for now.
But we have been enjoying some snow day fun!
And yummy breakfasts…
And experiments in how quickly 4 people can drink a bottle of wine (fun story!) …
And this app we use for house hunting (homesnap)? It will tell you what houses are going for (well, estimated) which is really fun when you’re driving down the streets of DC. Or at your piano students’ homes…
Maybe I should charge more! LOL!
Oh, and nearly 9 hours of waiting in a virtual line was sooooo worth it for THESE tickets!
EEEEEEEK!!!
Life is good.
Even if we didn’t get the house we wanted.
The past few days’ workouts:
Do what makes you happy.
