Is what I have turned into. Now that the moving truck is scheduled to pick up our stuff in a little over two weeks, I have been stressing out. Not about boxing up the house (because I have been slowly packing since June) but about finding people to rent our apartment, buy my car, and buy everything we are selling. None of these have been very easy.
We have been wanting to find friends to rent the apartment, because we want someone in here that we trust. But no one has been able to. So knowing that we might have some strangers in here, who could possibly ruin the house is a bit scary. I really hope we find someone soon…and hopefully that someone is clean and normal. Is that too much to ask??
As for the car, we have priced it at $4,000 even though the KBB price is around $5,000. No one has wanted to buy it though, and I guess we should have known that since the economy is really crappy right now. So we have been willing to negotiate, but people are asking for too low of a price. This car has been my favorite I have ever had. I got her at 35,000 miles and now, 5 years later, she is at 118,000. I drove her everywhere, including back and forth to my parents house in California. She has NEVER broken down on me, never had any internal damage from an accident and has never had a “check engine” light come on. In a nutshell, she is an amazing car. And everyone is telling me that Corollas will last at least 200,000 miles. So when someone asked to sell her for 2600, I had to pass. She is worth so much more than that. I hope we will find her a good owner soon that will pay the right amount for her. If not, I have no idea what we will do.
And this brings us to the last point: selling a bunch of crap that wont fit into our new apartment. We have 2 T.Vs, 2 T.V. stands, a black bookshelf, and a few other things. We have put them up on craigslist and told friends, but they are still in our house. Ugh.
So because of all of this I am stressing out. Oh, and did I mention that I don’t have a job yet? Yeah, we are going out there unemployed…kinda scary. I have certainly applied to different jobs but have been unsuccessful thus far. So life isn’t so easy right now, but I hope that when we get to Virginia, things will start working out. If not, I guess its top ramen and macaroni for us!
