Ive looked a cat or two but I keep comparing them to Mr Mouskiewitz. No time right now anyway. Maybe after I get things settled.
Oh, don't worry about me... I am glad YOU are ok and I am glad your Mom didn't suffer long. I love the name of your kitty, "Mr. Mouskiewitz"
I hope you will be able to sell the house quickly! That would certainly be one less worry for you. Hang in there!
Hugs

That's what I told her. If he keeps nagging her about it she might just get mad enough to keep it.

I'm sorry.
Glad to read she didn't suffer. When this all catches up to you, and it may take 2+ months, the fact that she didn't suffer will make you feel better.

I went nuts with flowers for my dad and it was only for a night as he was cremated the next day. I brought them all home, made smaller arrangements from some and dried them.

She paid half the mortgage payment and the utlities. I paid the rest. But I cant afford to pay it all plus my stuff. Good thing I do my own DIY.
The market is horrible. Don't drag your feet getting it listed. Our market has just picked up within the last 2 weeks and will probably last another month.

Im okay. No regrets . No unfinished business. If I talk about it too much I cry and that makes people think I not cause Im kinda a tough old bird.

Mouskiewitz is my feline family name. You guys were ere when I lost my last one . Wilifred J Mouskiewitz . Only special cats gets to be a Mouskiewitz tho. For example the wood pile cats are NOT Mouskiewitz's.

You know somebody could encourage him to keep asking her.

I think it will catch me after I sell the house. Fixing it up will take up all the time I used to spend doing stuff at her house. Then what will I do with myself.

I went nuts with flowers for my dad and it was only for a night as he was cremated the next day. I brought them all home, made smaller arrangements from some and dried them.

I didnt bring any home. After the funeral my cousins and I put some on my other relatives graves. Then I sent the rest back to the funeral home. The people in the next room only had two extremely small baskets. Hopefully the flowers made them feel a tiny bit better. Its bad enough to lose somebody but then to not have any flowers. Besides Mom didnt need them anymore.

I know the market is bad but its gonna take me a minute. While she was in the nursing home the roof went phooie and leaked over everything. The furnace got jealous cause the roof was getting all the attention and quit on a Friday. The furnace guy couldnt fix it till Monday. The plumbing was so happy to be warm again on Monday that it burst and spread water and joy all over the place. Now I have some drywall to replace and some patching on some ceilings. And other assorted painting and spiffing. Ive been putting it off but Saturday I plan on getting my lazy self over there and getting to work.

If you see an anonymouse cookie its me.

Even the toughest of us cry. Remember how I said I couldn't vent a lot because of unfinished business? Well yesterday I got paperwork that I had to read and reply to today. Of course some people want the DNA test results but the way I look at it today is that I know who my father is... do they?

Do you mind sharing what state you are in?
There's a web site called Realty Times - if you click the link, it will take you to the state, then you go to the town. It tells you what the market is like in your area.

Have you interviewed any agents yet? In the real estate pros section I have a post called agent questions for sellers, be sure to check it out. It's a big help to pick through the questions people suggested and know what to ask. I wrote them at another real estate forum, one of the agents gave me a few key questions, I then looked at posts and figured out the rest. I can also give you tips on finding an agent if you need it. If you are in a state like FL, or another where you get a lot of out of town people, their realtor.com page is very important. You want an agent that pays for enhanced listings.

Another thing to think of, is it worth putting money into and then how much and on what things. So far, our newer roof, AC, water heater, new furnace haven't made a lot of difference from what I can tell. One couple focused on it but so far they haven't put an offer in yet. We've been on the market since Memorial weekend last year as we missed the peak. Had we caught it, we'd be sold right now.

Working at her house will give you something to do, keep busy, take your mind off of what happened.

I appreciate the cookies Can never have enough, especially at times like these!

It sounds like when it rains it pours for you. What rotten luck with all the house issues!!!! It sounds like you are really handy though, good thing, otherwise it would cost you a bundle to get this fixed.
Hugs and best wishes!

I love your sense of humor! I'm sure it has seen you through many hard times.

I'm glad your mom didn't suffer for very long. Best of luck to you in repairing everything, and then selling the house. If you get stressed out and ready to scream, just log on to C-D, and we'll help you feel better.

Cecilia, I am so sorry. Truly. There are no other words.

But reading your posts has me grinning and I'm so glad you're doing well....as well as can be expected. I know right now things are crazy and you've got a lot on your plate but I admire your strength and think you're doing awesome.

Hang in there, girl.

Im not up on your business. But I hope everything turns out the way you want it to.

Thanks for all the info. Im surprized your house hasnt sold. It sounds pretty spiffy. My house is very teeny. Ill be lucky to get $50,000. Crawl space. Two bedrooms. Less than 900sf. I dont plan on doing tons of work just fixing the major stuff. Then Ill get an appraisal and see what I can get from the guys that buy houses to rent. If its crazy low Ill contact a few realtors and see what other work I need to do to list it.

Hey, I dont need to be over there workin to find things to do to take my mind off stuff. I got plenty of stuff at my own house. My flower beds are sad. But theyll just have to wait.

I can do the rest. But the roof is costing me. I have to laugh . Roofers arent used to dealing with a gal who knows which end of the hammer to hold. Keeps them on their toes.
