I hope it excitement rather than worry.
Worry, and stress, mainly. It feels like everything’s going on at the same time and I haven’t got a handle on any of it
Yeah you have. Course work is done, one more sleep until isolation is over and that LP is done so that’s another thing sorted in the next 24hrs. Si’s family birthday dinner on Wednesday will be great. It’ll all be fine.
Course work isn’t done, I’m still way behind. Given my last experience with the LP I’m freaking out about that, particularly as it’s a hospital I don’t really know. Katie’s second offer has been rejected and she can only go up by another £5k and Si’s birthday will be crap and 100% not what I wanted for him - particularly as Katie won’t actually be here on his birthday
But you said yourself this time will be easier with the X-ray and no things won’t be the same for Si’s birthday under lockdown but I’m sure he’ll be happy just spending the day with you. Don’t panic, everything will work out.
Ok you feel like you haven't got a handle on any of it. That's because there are things you cant have a handle on.
If this house is for Katie, it will work out. If not, another one will come along. She will be sad but she is a strong young woman like her mum and will pick up and move on. You are not in control of the housing market.
As I said, Si's birthday is not what you wanted for him but that also is out of your control, you did not cause the global pandemic, we make the best of what we can. He will enjoy it more if you relax about it and can smile at how crap a lockdown birthday is. Chances are, we are all gonna have a lockdown birthday this year.
The LP was awful last time. It's under guidance this time, no poking blindly with needles. I wont tell you not to worry because it's natural, but it's not exactly the same as last time.
You are overwhelmed with it all happening at once and having to isolate in the midst of it, but my lovely warrior , you are almost through day2. Xxxx
I can't agree with SM enough... You will get the coursework done. It might need an extension, but you'll do it. So, if Katie and Dom don't get this house it wasn't meant to be. It means that something better is going to come along for them. Si's birthday isn't going to be crap, it's going to be different and that's OK - in this time it's more than OK to be different, you can have a big party or holiday or whatever when things calm down enough to do so - maybe in the summer?
The LP I can understand. I'm sure you are terrified and that's OK. You've had a really crappy time with them, so tell them. Tell them you're scared and seeing what they are able to do. It's also Southampton hospital which you don't know very well, and that's OK too.... I know that my bil was in there for stem cell transplants and they were blinking lovely and really good. Have faith. You've got this, and if you haven't then we're here for you too and will help support you until things start getting easier...
What time is the LP?
I’ve got to be at the hospital at midday. I am scared, really, really scared
Katie had to up their offer by £10k but they’ve got the house :)
Congratulations to them!!!
Is there anything I can do to help with the fear?
It’s ok to be scared so long at you don’t give in to that fear. You’ve got this!
