White flag

It's Christmas time and everyone is happy, filled with hope for the new year and merry. 

I'm none of those things. 

I'm devastated, in shock, numb, hurt and confused. 

When I called the bank today they referred me to the lawyer's office who was handling the case. The lawyer's office said that I had to be out by December 22nd... that's 3 days away.... then the tears started and haven't stopped since. 

The lawyer informed me that my landlord was informed of everything being taken over by the bank on November 25th and that the bank and lawyer's office had NO idea there were tenants. 

Brittany came to my rescue with tape, bubble warp, packing paper, and boxes. Then Kevin joined us for an evening of packing. 

My life is in shambles. I have two wonderful friends welcome me with open arms to their homes but I don't know what to do and I don't know which friend I should move in with. I'm BEYOND grateful for their kindness but I'm just so confused. 

My body hurts from the stress and from the all of my tears. My white flag is waving.
