So there was a couple from Indy who were interested in buying my car. She came down to drive it, really liked it. Her husband called me last week to say he wanted to come down to drive it, and that they were more than likely to take it home. We discussed price. We bargained just a hair, and made a deal.

I got an email from them today saying they're no longer interested. They wished me good luck.

Thanks, guys. Really, thanks.

Bastards.

It's just like the people who yanked a house away from me after they accepted my offer. I came to the office in the morning to meet with them and sign the papers, only to be met at the door by my agent, who told me that they'd gone with another buyer. Turns out they renegged on our agreement for a measly $1500 on the house. Also turns out that the other buyer was an agent in the same real estate office.

There's a way of doing business, and there's a way of just trampling over people's emotions in a fit of dishonorable behavior. These are two prime examples of the latter.

God, I feel sick. Angry too, at myself for getting my hopes up, and at them for behaving this way.

There's so much going on right now, so much that I'm feeling sad or frightened or hopelessly desperate about. I'm struggling to focus on the good things.

Really struggling.
