So I have a mortgage but no house...

Apparently the house I just bought is owned jointly by a middle aged woman in the Houston area and an eighty-something in rural New Mexico (not sure which part of that is supposedly relevant).

Apparently, being an eighty-something woman in rural New Mexico means that it is difficult to FedEx important things, like closing papers.

Thus, Jen is on her second day of having a mortgage, but no key.

I was patient on Monday (sure. I was also the queen of sheba for the day). I was impatient today. Tonight I'm annoyed.

I want my effing house.

Now.

So I can start moving and get out of the effing house I'm living in.

To make matters worse, everyone wants to help me move tomorrow. I can't move tomorrow. I don't have the damn key, and even after I have the key, I want to rip up carpet and paint first. So everyone wants to help me paint.

*whine*

I don't want anyone in my house until I'm done with it. I don't want anyone in my messy, not-moved-out-of-yet house because it's... well... a mess. I want everyone to leave me alone for the next ten days, and then one person to magically reappear to help me move my couch and futon.

That isn't going to happen though. Part of borrowing Dad's pickup for the move is letting him help me move, which means doing it at his pace instead of mine. Once, just once in my life, I would like to have a nice, orderly move where I don't feel obligated to create a mountain of junk in the dining room to be sorted through at a later time.

I really hate this.

having been through this process, the best advice I can give you is - eventually the chest pains *will* stop.

I think I hate moving more than anything in the world.

That said, I also know all about your wanting to do it yourself. I also know that friends are happy for you and want to contribute to that happiness. So, does giving friends the opportunity to contribute to your life mean giving up control? Partly. But only you can say which is more important to you and your sanity. Chances are, you friends will support you either way.

Once you get the key.

How bloody maddening! But I can relate; my sister lives in rural Arizona.

*bounces 'cause I'm still excited*

I'm so sorry to hear about your house troubles (oh, the joys of home ownership begin even before you occupy the house, apparently!). But I am glad to "see" you! Hope this trouble leaves you soon so you can start to enjoy your new place.
