I hadn't been volunteering it. They would ask if the owners would be there and I would have to tell them they live out of town and state.

I did finally find a roofer and a window guy who will come out. The window guy said I don't need to be there; he'll take a look and send me the estimate. The roofer am meeting Monday. Thank goodness. It was such a relief.

So I talked to the realtor, I do need written estimates to take back to the owners for proof of cost.

I'm just going to take a deep breath now and hope nothing major turns up on inspection.

I am just so depressed though, working on the current house for so long, in leaving my home, fear of change; there's actually a real sadness. The stress is not helping and I'm having trouble sleeping. I'm worried I may be falling; somehow I have to try stay level.

What I am excited about is that good friends of the family, they were like second parents now that I haven't seen in awhile are coming next weekend. They are going to time it to be there for inspection. He is a builder, he'll have good questions for the inspector and notice things too plus I can't wait for them to see it. There was actually a glimmer of excitement for the first time in a long time. I just wish I could be more thrilled about this whole thing. Perhaps I just need an attitude adjustment, think of it as a new adventure.

So that's over, back to sorting and packing.
