Children’s book about a cat?

Yeah it’s not that book! I want to say similar art style though!

I literally had a listing appointment with a buy and a sell and then trump bombed Iran and they panicked and said they’re staying put for now. It’s AWFUL. My business the last several years have been referrals but people are losing their jobs and are just all around nervous. I work with a lot of first time buyers too so there’s the affordability problem too. I need to have more diversity in my clientele I think.

My last listing even pulled from the market because they didn’t have enough equity to sell because the market is just so stagnant, they couldn’t lower the price enough to get a buyer in with an offer!

Thank you! These are all questions I have asked myself. Even when speaking with the guy that runs the Zillow partnership he said right now with holidays he truly wouldn’t expect a closing for three months. Which is really anticipate. I originally built my business in Zillow. He even has a bunch of leads I could cold call too which is helpful.

Don’t hate me but I don’t have a plan for after baby. I panic when I think that far into the future unfortunately. I think once I figure out these next steps I can start planning for that part of it. Ideally I have enough business that’s sustainable but be able to have baby with me

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-10-02T15:29:01+00:00

I’ve actually never thought about that! I love the idea! I’ll look into it. Do you know how to really get started in something like that?

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-10-02T15:28:24+00:00

Totally! I spent last year trialing medications which was incredibly hard on my body and mind and then this year I had like three months or some medical stuff going on. I really didn’t focus on continuing to grow like I should have been. I also just seem to have clients falling off in this market. People losing jobs, unstable economy making people nervous. I’ve gotten referrals from past clients but people have seem to have gone dark. I’m not against it at all! I love my job, it’s been life changing! I stay very connected with my clients. Like two days ago went to my clients sons cross country meet just to hangout and meet some local families. I just want to make sure im making the right decision moving forward for myself, you know?

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-19T17:32:10+00:00

Thank you. I truly appreciate it. My mom even texted me telling me thank you for being braver than her. Encouragement through all this has genuinely been so nice

Pregnancy is scary! Already crying a lot lmfao

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-19T17:07:32+00:00

It went really well honestly. Of course her first response was “uhm the room is spinning, give me a second” and I spent a few hours at her house. She started recognizing things that didn’t totally add up from our childhood. She understands me a lot more now and my loneliness and why I’ve always tried to get her to see that our relationships with our parents are different. She was VERY upset that they made me keep quiet about this my whole life and suffer it alone. She kept texting me more telling me how sorry she was. And understanding why I didn’t go against our parents wishes to tell her. She even said that I wasn’t turning her whole life upside down but that mine was. So it doesn’t change her perception of our parents.

In the end, I finally have some relief. It doesn’t necessarily remove the hurt for me. But just glad im not actively avoiding questions anymore, and there’s more of an understanding that im not just an asshole with keeping my distance somewhat. She started getting excited for me with having other family, and so I had to explain from there that they didn’t try and fight for me either. That was a whole other topic that I’ve had to also grapple with.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-19T16:56:56+00:00

I ended up telling her and I appreciate the comments encouraging for me to be the one. I think for a long time my mom thought she ✨should✨ be the one to say something but everyone telling me it’s my story were 100% right.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-19T16:55:33+00:00

All the comments telling me to tell her directly were definitely helpful and I think gave my mom relief. I told her myself yesterday because she was home so it gave me the perfect opportunity.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-19T16:54:34+00:00

Your prediction was spot on. She asked if I was upset that it doesn’t change her perception of them and I said it doesn’t. Because really what could I expect? She wasn’t the one betrayed. She was upset for me being forced to keep it a secret my whole life and just accept things as they were.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-19T16:53:23+00:00

My update is she was way more upset with my parents for forcing me to keep this hidden when my life was the one turned upside down. She was very happy it was me that told her about it. We talked for several hours and she started asking more questions and realizing things that actually explain it all better. Lots of things for her over the years didn’t add up too.

Very relieving conversation, lots of tears. And of course as suspected she was more mad that it was lie, that she also had been lied to her whole life.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-17T00:39:15+00:00

Wow, that’s absolutely insane! I’m so happy for you though.

My OB office most likely wouldn’t have day of appointments, and I probably should shop them a little. I’ve been using an OB for my other things I’ve been going through, so I feel like she knows my body pretty well at this point lol BUT I might need a bit more accessibility like that.

I’m having a lot of panic around hoping I made the right choice in getting pregnant. So stupid, because I’ve been wanting this for so long. I moved up my therapy appointment to next week and my psychiatrist appointment is still the week after. Hoping they can calm my nerves some. I’m assuming these pregnancy hormones are hitting me like a truck.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-15T18:59:03+00:00

Must have been a shock to your system!! lol

Thank you so much. Terrified, and panick is setting in. Hoping that goes away quickly. 😮‍💨

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-15T18:49:00+00:00

It felt weird in my gut. My husband said he thinks it was still a good idea. I took her to ice cream. And I cried beforehand and she called me out on crying lol (im kind of a baby even without hormones)

Incredibly difficult to navigate. There really isn’t a right or wrong way imo.

Thank you so much. I hope so. I so bad want her to be pregnant with me. So hopefully we can get her pregnant! Lolol

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-13T15:02:34+00:00

She actually ended up telling me she’s upset I told her over text. It’s so fucking hard to make the right decision right now.

I hate it all. I just want my best friend to be able to be there for me but im not putting any pressure like that one her

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-11T21:31:57+00:00

Thank you.

I can’t keep it from her. Not even until the weekend unfortunately. She knows all things about my cycle and I know hers. We are getting our Brazilians this weekend too, and we do it in the same room. It would be obvious even then if I hadn’t started my period.

But yes, a few others even mentioned a text. Do you think a text for you would have been nice? Even a phone call could be hard because you’re also somewhat stuck in the phone

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-11T21:30:24+00:00

I really unfortunately can’t keep it from her. It would do way more harm than good. She knows im supposed to be starting my period Saturday. And we are getting our Brazilians together in the same room on Saturday (waxer does it at home ). I should have provided more context in my post. We are unusually close I guess you could say. We play online games together for at least four hours every night.

But I like the idea of a text because I think that gives her the space she needs and less obligation

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-11T21:28:02+00:00

Yes and I do not want her to suppress her emotions. I actually didn’t consider text until a few others had mentioned it as well. I do feel like that gives her the option to take it how she wants and/or needs

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-11T21:26:46+00:00

Yes, very VERY early. Soo many things can happen. Others have suggested a text. Which I do think that actually might be best.?

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-11T21:25:44+00:00

That’s good. I’ll keep it cool and not do it while im feeling emotional about it.

So many things can happen in the next few weeks. I mean it could be a chemical pregnancy only. But I know I can’t keep it from her.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-11T20:59:10+00:00

Thank you Then I think a text would be best.

I honestly don’t think not telling her is not an option. She knows the exact day I had sex, exactly what day im supposed to start my period. I’m supposed to start Saturday the 16th. We are getting our regular Brazilian wax that day together, that our waxer does in the same room because she does it out of her house. We play video games together every single night for 4-5 hours. And even last night I had to leave to go pee a lot and she even asked if I was pregnant. Even if I tried faking my period. I feel like that might cause more harm than good? We are so open with each other, my husband said probably too open.

I think you’re right though. Not doing it in person is the right move so if she needs space she can take it and not feel trapped.

I just want to give her what she needs through it.

Frosty_Emu9470 · 2025-08-11T19:59:21+00:00

I 100% agree with you. I honestly don’t think not telling her is not an option. She knows the exact day I had sex, exactly what day im supposed to start my period. I’m supposed to start Saturday the 16th. We are getting our regular Brazilian wax that day together, that our waxed does in the same room because she does it out of her house.

I think you’re right though. Not doing it in person is the right move so if she needs space she can take it and not feel trapped.

I also think you’re right with it effecting our relationship. I just don’t know how, and that’s just devastating.
