Thursday Thirteen Discombobulated Worries This Week (#11)

My brain is way too scattered and full of anxiety to focus on one particular nifty topic this week. So, now you get to see the really true discombobulated, highly anxious me.

Thirteen Things about N. Mallory

1. What if the sale on the little red house falls through and I don’t get it?
2. What if the sale on the little red house doesn’t fall through and I do get it and it turns into a money pit?
3. What if those nice flippers are taking advantage of me because I’m a naive first time buyer and I don’t know what I’m doing?
4. What if my dog is depressed? He’s been lethargic and hasn’t been eating at home, but the doggie daycare folks say he’s hyper and playful there. Maybe he just hates me.
5. If my newly diagnosed autoimmune kidney disease isn’t the cause of my fatigue/muscular pain symptoms, what is? How much more blood are they going to need to take to figure it out?
6. Where am I going to find boxes to pack my CDs and DVDs? Those can get heavy.
7. How do I order heating oil delivery for my house that I don’t have yet?
8. I also need to set up the switch of utilities but you have no idea how hard it was just to find out who the services were for the town. And of course, there’s no set closing/moving date yet.
9. What to do about the big window in the big room of the little red house? The flippers said the windows were all new when I was looking at the house and the disclosure statement doesn’t have any notation about any problems with the windows, but when during the General Inspection, it came out that the seal on the double pane is busted and the flippers knew about it and didn’t say anything. It’ll probably cost $600 to fix. Do I demand they fix it or the sale is off? Do I demand they cut $600 from my offer?
10. My acid reflux is getting worse and the Previcid doesn’t appear to be helping much anymore. This worries me and appears to make the acid reflux worse.
11. Why have I had a sharp little pain in the middle of my lower back for the last 3 days?
12. Will I be able to get the Thursday Thirteen Trackback link to work this week? It seems to work 50% of the time.
13. I wonder how many Thursday Thirteeners try to visit the whole list every week, how many only visit those who leave comments or links on their Thursday Thirteen each week, and how many only visit certain Thursday Thirteens each week? (I try to visit the whole list though admittedly I don’t always leave a comment or a link depending on how I feel about the list.)

Get the Thursday Thirteen code here!The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

   All very valid concerns, really. And #9 seems like a reasonable request to me.

   You’ll be so happy when this is done. Good luck this week!

   I hope everything works out with your house. Buying a house can give you acid reflux!!!!
   I try to visit all those who visit my T13 and I also try to get around to as many others as time allows.
   Thanks for coming by MY T13 today.

   Oh my gosh! I’m so glad I found you again! Last time I visited, you were going in for the kidney biopsy. This was like my 3rd TT and I forgot to write down the name of your blog and never could find you again. I’ve been saying prayers for you whenever you come to mind, and I’m happy to find you know what’s up with your body. You must destress, girl, that will help with the pain. I know, it’s hard to destress when you hurt all the time! Just carve out some time for you each day, and think some calm thoughts!
   And yes, I do try to get to everybody’s list each week, but never do make it!
   Thanks for stopping by my blog.

   Buying a house seems so scary that I can barely get myself to look at one. Hope your worries go away soon.

    I have a select handful of thirteeners I visit each week, then whoever comments on mine…if I have extra time, I try to visit some new ones, but thatrarely happens.

    Maybe Pugly senses your stress and it makes him sad too?

    I think you should try to get the window money off the selling price…they should ave to pay for the repair if it wasn’t disclosed…at least that’s how I see it.

    The acid reflux may be worse because of the stress too…

    Easier said then done, but try o relax and stop worrying so much

    Happy Thursday!

    you try and visit everyone on the list, gah!!!
    there are now hundreds, i can remember back when it was just a dozen or so and i got to know each and every one.
    as for your dog, our dog wasn’t eating well, so we switched her brand of food, she seems to really like her new one. maybe drop by the pet store and see what they suggest.

    I do try to visit them all, yes. I don’t always leave a comment because some require registration or don’t actually have a TT or have something offense (racial, etc.) or over-the-top religious or I can’t find where to comment or at the moment I reached there I just don’t know what to say and “Great list” doesn’t seem to fit, but it usually takes me a couple of days. I don’t do it all at once.
