Still in Shock

 

 

I am still in shock from yesterday’s events.  I have told Debra, Mama Roberta, and of course here and Facebook.  Well at least the journaling group.  I told Big Brother just this morning I actually just told my Manager. Even though I have been excited to tell people a part of me is wondering if I should stop and not say anything right now. I did mention here in the blog.  However I have to remember that the bank still has to either accept it or reject it based on the inspection.

Work is busy.  There is mail that needs to be readdressed and no longer goes to where we have been sending.  I will have to send it directly to the hospital.  So I know what it is I am doing later this afternoon.

There was no committee meeting today but we got an email update that we will be receiving more updates from the E-board later in the week.  I guess the meetings there were about how the contract will cover those working from home.

I went through the readdress mail and there were a number of things that should have been dealt with at least weeks ago.  I blame myself.  There were also some documents that belonged to us so I left them on Shadow’s desk for tomorrow.  We worked well today and we talked about a few things both work related and non-related.

 I got a call from Liz today regarding the mobile homes we may look at.  There is definitely one that we will look at but one we won’t because it needs work.  Cheryl sent me 4 more possibilities.  One was the first one Liz and I saw.  There is one near Liz’s house, and another one by route one.  There is also another one on Melba Street.  Not sure when we will get to see it.  Liz says she is pretty busy the rest of the week.  She has a wedding on Friday.

The cats were waiting on me when I came home today.  I was relieved to find the cat food arrived this afternoon.  Actually I knew it did because I was alerted by email.  It was a couple of days late.  They are both sleeping downstairs.  I am hoping they will come up soon.  Then again they may avoid me as I found a hair ball on my bed.  I am going to have to wash the comforter again.

I think I better hit the sack. I am tired and I have fallen asleep on the couch twice already tonight. 

 

 

 

Monday Musings

 

You are not going to believe this.  I don’t believe it myself.  The house went on the market on Saturday morning.  That same afternoon we had three showings.  We were supposed to have only 2 but one was added and so Liz and I were here from 12:15 until 2 pm.  Now I understand why home owners are not supposed to be in the house with potential buyers.  It’s stressful.  One f the potential buyers was Young Shea and her husband with their Realtor. 

After the last showing Dave arrived (I had invited him to come see the house) and Liz’s Friend Andrea came and we did the Smudging and the burial of St Joseph’s and we did the prayer.

Sunday was the first Open house and there were 17 reservations to see the house.  It started at 10.  Cheryl came at 9:30.  The titans were safely put in their crates and in the bedroom.  The Open house started at 10 and I left t meet Liz for shoe shopping.  Cheryl texted Liz and said it’s been crazy nonstop.  She did manage to check on the titans and they were fine. 

I did get to come back to meet up with my other niece and her husband so that we could get her stuff out of the back porch.  I also brought Cheryl iced coffee.   Diane and Rogier did take a quick walk around the house and they got to meet the titans.  The lull was over and we had to quickly get out.  SIL Ethel came in as well.  We had done the work already and now were making plans to have lunch.  While at lunch Cheryl sent a message saying that everything was done and locked up.

Late this afternoon Liz contacted me saying that several offers were made and that Bob accepted an offer.  Cheryl went into further detail later and said that the lawyer accepted an offer of $310,000.  It wasn’t Young Shea and her husband.  Their bid was the lowest. 

Now all that’s left to do is find a place and begin the process of buying and moving to said place.  Someone suggested today a mobile home.  This one I have seen before.  I was interested in seeing and I still might but by the time I got home I decided that I would prefer condos.

I hope my search will be as quick and easy as this part was.  I am not sure if there is a deadline or not.  I am still thinking it will be by the holidays or the end of the year.  I will find out from Liz and Cheryl.
