I am so, so close to actually listing this thing in MLS.

But things keep getting put in the way, I think the house is throwing me curve balls!

My realtor offered to have a cleaning crew he knows well to come in and do a deep cleaning, really the last thing that needs done, he will pay and settle at closing.

So the owner of the service gets into a very bad car wreck Sunday, was in the ER all night, shows up Monday, anyway with a huge, stitched gash in her forhead, dizzy from pain meds...mom/nurse kicks in, sent her home (besides dont want that liability anyway.) So next day, yesterday she tries again. I left to run some errands, I come home and they are gone! She texted me she just cant do it and will try next week.

It is little things like that that just keep getting in the way, beginning to think my house just doesnt want to let me go.

I talk to her, tell her she needs to be in the hands of somebody who can take care of her better, and I need to get out of Texas.

Cant do a whole lot more myself, but I have done most of all of it by myself, like getting rid of clothes, furniture, pulled up an entire carpet in the upstairs finished attic, with the help of my youngest...painting. Painting this entire huge house mostly by myelf years ago is what got me arthritis in my right thumb and has now extended to my right elbow so I am real slow at getting painting finished.

That is why I need a bit of help and it seems this house just keeps interfering.

There has been alot of negative emotions in this place, the ex stalker dude, kids and their issues, etc.

I think filling it with love and light somehow will help.

Thanks for reading and any suggestions are always appreciated!!!

I want to sell, but doing this all by myself is scary, perhaps my fear is holding things back?

I dont need to really, can afford it still, but dont need such a big house, etc.

Fortunately I have a new realtor who is a go getter and pushing me to get things done..
