I feel like I have had a pretty easy time with my Taper toward being AF here in a few days. I am on day 3 of my taper and I am having my first real challenge.
I sold my house today. I moved 5 months ago and never expected to see the house again. The house unfortunately has lost a lot of its value due to its location. I have been trying to rent or sell it with virtually no showings. I had put a considerable amount down on the house (enough to buy a smaller home outright!) and I knew that was already lost.
Between the upkeep on the house and the mortgage payment and virtually no showings I gave up about a month ago and decided to stop paying the mortgage and let the bank take it over...
Yesterday I had a showing and today I got an offer and was able to negotiate a price where not only it would pay off the mortgage, but I will get to walk away with a nice chunk of cash! What a difference 48 hours makes. Yesterday morning i was going to lose my house to the bank and today I have a signed contract, a large earnest money deposit and they want to move in sooner so they gave me a rent check for the next two months while we wait for closing!!!
It was a whirlwind of a day with offers and counter-offers and then once it was all done my scanner didn't want to work so I had to mess with that for over an hour to get the signed docs back, but it's all done!
I feel wiped out. Between not sleeping well due to cutting back AH and the events of the day, I just want to sit back and have a few cold ones.
My taper schedule (which turns out allowed more than it should and I have been tapering much quicker) allows for 8 drinks today, but I only had 4.5 on day one and 4 on day two and I really don't want to go in the reverse direction, even if I am below my taper schedule...
I have already had two beers (it is 8:45 here) and I am fine with having the same as yesterday, meaning two more, but I am challenged... I am pacing in circles drinking water and smoking just trying to figure out how soon I can have my next one. The last two days were easier, I just kind of drank what I felt like and paced myself and didn't have any big events to affect me...
Anyhow, that's where I am at.
