I am SO tired lately and I have no idea why... Work has been hard and long and there are lots of things to do. I have started some spring cleaning in my house and that has actually gone quite well. I have SO much stuff from moving to go through this summer. I am going to make four piles: have to keep, donate, sell, throw away! My goal is to have everything sorted out by June
I have gone crazy with trying to sell my house and I have dropped the price 5%! I haven't gotten any calls about it yet with the new price but it went into effect on Monday. If I can't sell it at this new and reduced price I will probably just cry myself to sleep every night. It is really frustrating that nothing seems to be working.
Last weekend was really nice. The weather was great in Chicago and I am really looking forward to more warm days. So theoretically my landscaping was supposed to be installed this week. I still have not heard from the landscaper and they have already cashed my check. I realize that the weather has just recently turned and it is still quiet wet out side but when they have my many thousands of dollars at least call me! I left a couple of voicemails but I still haven't heard anything. I am really close to going down there and raising a big stink!
Well that is all for now, just a small update.

My almost-move prompted me to do some early "spring" cleaning, too, and that is very tiring. But currently I've got 19 boxes of crap I still couldn't get rid of all stacked up behind me in a small room where my computer is. That's not making me too happy. I feel like this place will never be cleaned/organized.
It sounds like you're going through something very similar to what my parents have. They're in the process of getting their house ready to sell and working with their landscapers was like pulling teeth. They spent FAR more money than they should have for a mediocre job, at best. I spent one summer laying bricks with my father when I was about 10. A 10 year old girl could do a better job than these so-called professionals did.
And the worst part is thinking that the market has dipped enough that it will really screw them over when they go to sell their house. They need to get out of here because they're living on my dad's retirement money and it's not enough to last them in CA.
I guess the moral is, you're not alone. (hug) I don't know if that makes you feel better, I hope it does.
