I’ve only had my place for a month, and going through a really hard time right now. And I have a disability, and have gone through lots of problems while renting, and bought a place partly so I wouldn’t have to go through those challenges anymore. It is a nice place, it’s a two bedroom penthouse with a very big roof terrace and wraparound balcony. It is however… In Greece, which has its good points and challenges as well, including lots of bureaucracy. I’m still trying to set up a bank account, and do everything else that needs to be done, I have also uncovered the little hidden problems with the home that went undetected until I took a bath and… Water went all over the floor because there’s something wrong with the pipes and then there was the mold in the other bathroom… The insurance won’t pay for the mold.
i’m also trying to decorate, and learn DIY, and learn my new neighborhood, and learn everything else, in Greek, with a very severe visual impairment. It’s exciting, but it’s a big challenge and sometimes, I just want to curl up in bed and eat chocolate. I am in the UK right now, since I need a break from everything and I just needed to have fun for a few days.
if anyone can tell me their strategies for how they coped with buying a home and getting through those first few months, I would appreciate it. I’m trying to hang in there.
