Well, all I can say about being absent again for two weeks, is those two weeks I was not here, I thought I was having a meltdown. I mean really, a freaking meltdown. Last week there was a day I just cried, and I had NO IDEA why. I mean NONE. I was just so freaking sad. I guess there has been so much stuff happen to me this year and maybe I just needed to get it all out of my system. I made a list of all the bad things that happened and I wondered why I hadn't had a nervous break down already! But now I'm fine. Bad things happen. Things change for better and for worse, for worse and for better. This is the worst year I have had in many, many years, so maybe things will start getting better for me now. We can only hope!
I got some very bad news about someone I care about very much. I can't say who it is, although most of you wouldn't know that person anyway, but I have no clue who reads my blog and doesn't comment so in case it's a family member I won't mention names. But, this person, who is extremely healthy, was diagnosed with brain lesions. Not just a few, but a LOT. The doctor actually said, "This is bad. This is very, very bad". They will start testing this person by first doing a spinal tap to rule out Encephalitis, Lyme Disease and some other things, and exhaust all efforts to determine why the brain lesions are there. This person can no longer drive because of two seizures that occurred (which is why they went to the doctor to begin with, because they had never had a seizure before in their life) and the medicine they are now on to help prevent future seizures. Another seizure could result in a stroke, loss of sight, loss of use in a limb, etc. I'm just in shock, and have so many questions that currently have no answers.
Then I got a call that my brother had emergency surgery. He was having extreme stomach pain and finally went to the ER. He, like me, does NOT go to the hospital. I have been to the ER once (for me anyway) and I had Kidney stones. Anyway, it didn't take them long to get him under and take care of it. He is in El Paso and said the hospital, doctors, nurses, and everyone was just awesome. They were friendly and attentive and treated him very well. He is a single dad and convinced them to let him go home yesterday to be with his kids. He has full custody of them and has them 24/7/365.
There is a house I want really bad. Three bedrooms, two full baths, hardwood floors, fireplace, fenced in back yard, covered deck, dinning room and kitchen. It's only $132,000. Well, I don't have 3 1/2% for a down payment. There are programs out there for 100% financing, but neither I, nor the house, qualify for those. The house has been for sale for quite a while (It's only about 1300 square foot) and I had asked my real estate agent to see if they would do a rent/lease to own. They are moving to Washington DC, are buying a house and don't want two house payments. I haven't heard back from him yet, but if ANYONE knows of a way to make quick money, or get 100% financing, please let me know! There has got to be some way I can get that house!!!! Plus, the payments would be so much lower than my rent is now so not only would I have a house, but I'd be saving $400 a month! Please help!
Later!

Good to hear from you Bina. Hope the house thing works out. Our house payment has taxes and insurance included and is a lot! We were paying $575 at our last place and now it is double that and then some.
Good luck with the house...
Like I tell all my kids--if it's meant to be, then no matter what you do, it will work out. If not...well then, just let it be.
You sound good, in spite of the year you have had. Yes, I agree that next year HAS to be a good one for you. Hang in. You are a very strong woman, and in the end, you will win at this game called life.
Big, big hugs. :)
You have had a rough year! You have had so many stressors than the average person. I hope you have had the chance to just let it all out and fall back on the people who LOVE you and would do anything for you.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and brother. I'm glad your brother is going to be okay. I will say lots of prayers for your friend. (((((HUGS))))).
If there was anyway I could help you or any idea to get that money quick, I would do it gladly. I'd even loan it to you, until you were on your feet, but all our money is going straight to David's lawyer. It is killing us, all our savings, all our everything!!
I do hope you get that house on a rent to own. That sounds like it would be perfect for both of you. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Love ya!
Bina,
Sorry you are going through such a tough year. If it makes you feel any better, you really are not alone in this.
If there is any way the owners of the house would be willing to hold paper, what you can do is suggest a rent to own situation. This is where you could rent the house for what you are renting now and have the overage be put into an escrow account for you for a year lets say, and you could use that as your down payment to close a year from now. See if the owners of the house are willing to do this....
Crossing fingers and toes that you get that house! And if your followers do figure out a way to make money quick - let me in on that secret!
Life has so many ups and downs - you're about due for some ups!
So sorry to hear about your friend/family member with the brain lesions. Keep us posted. xo
I hope the people with the house are interested in a rent-to-own situation.
hang in there. you're doing great!
the house sounds fantastic! here';s hoping that you work out a way to get it. I know You miss working in a yard and doing all the physical stuff.
things can only get better when they get this bad, Bean. No where to go but UP!!
XOXOXOXOX
Bina,
Sorry you're going through so much, and I know those feelings. I just buried my cousin last week, who I was close to. It was very sudden, and the whole family was pretty devastated by it.
Have you looked into an FHA loan to see if you qualify?
P.S. - I suggested to Beth about a road trip up here to Rochester to see me in my show. It is a flat out, laugh out loud comedy, and it might be something you need...
i hope the house works out for you.
and i hope all turns out well with your friend on the medical front.
im thinking about you, sexy...
i know this post is going back a bit but just thought i'd come for a visit and say hi over here. hope your friend is okay and you are feeling a lot better. tough year for sure. i also can't wait till this year is over. IT'S BEEN HELL!
