Dun, Dun, Dun!
Okay, maybe I exaggerated just a little in the title. I still have possession of my soul and gathered up enough cash to pay the rent… by selling my furniture and various smaller things. I actually didn’t sell all that much, since the majority of the cash came from a friend that I hadn’t thought about asking but I did sell a few things. I realized there was no way I would have had enough time, or space, to move everything (into my friends garage) and posted up a bunch of classified ads before heading to bed last night.
Most of the people who came by to look at things were just what you would expect; They came, they saw, they left. One young man, who had actually only come for one of the items I was giving away for free, ended up buying several things and overall made my day. Not because he bought things, but because he hung around talking to me for a while and seemed genuinely concerned. He asked why I was selling/giving things away and I’m fairly certain he only bought the stuff because he knew I needed the money.
Not everyone was friendly. A few people sent nasty emails in response to my ads, but I shrugged them off. The entire issue isn’t resolved, since I still need to deal with the bank and possibly the police (more on that later), but not having to be evicted lifted a huge weight off my shoulders!
Well, I’m glad to hear you were able to stay!
Dang. I read your last post, and I’m so sorry you’re having to go through all this! Nobody needs this kind of stress. I really hope everything gets resolved soon.
Sorry to hear about all your troubles. I feel a bit better knowing I am not the only one struggling.
