Today I finally, after WEEKS of ****ty and confusing back and forth negotiations, settled on terms with a dude to buy my house. Closing is in 2 weeks, possession until May 1, and now I have one month to find an apartment, pack, and move.

So irritated because this guy's original offer was made on Feb 18 but he kept taking weeks in between counter offers, then 2 weeks after going under contract to get all the details hammered out. Turns out his lease ends April 30 so now I'm the one pressed for time to find a place.

But, worth it. The house was my last tie to my ex (he's still on the mortgage) and is in a neighborhood that is way too far from my work and friends. Better times ahead if I can just get through this last month of stress.
