This has been a lazy stay at home day for me. I have allowed myself to do nothing all day today. I did clean the living room and dining room floors but other than that I haven’t done much.
I was hoping to hear from my realtor about the counter offer I gave the seller but I haven’t heard anything yet. It will probably be Monday before I hear something. I am figuring out a back up plan in case the buyer rejects the offer. Sure wish I had a crystal ball and knew for sure what to do. The good news is I am not in a position to have to sell the house and can let it sit empty for a bit if needed.
The tree guy stopped in last night and gave me his bill. He said he was done. I see some more branches in the trees in the front yard that look liked they should have been cut out but I am tired of this project. I will have him come back another day and take care of them. His bill was not as high as I expected it might be so that was good.
The tree guy did recommend I keep the area around the back trees mowed well so the little stuff coming up is kept under control. I went out this morning and mowed for about 20 minutes. It is hard mowing as there is no grass, just the little stuff and mini trees. I also mowed inside the dog pen. I got most of it cut down before I got too hot and had to come in.
No plans for tomorrow. Trusting I will get to stay home all day again. I want to get started making some aprons if the mood hits. I pulled out the pattern and looked at it today. Patterns have really changed since the old days. Not sure I like the way they suggest to make it so may make some modifications. We shall see what happens.
Monday the realtor is coming for me to sign some papers and hopefully I will find out if we have a final deal. We are scheduled to close Friday so time is running out to figure things out. After she leaves, I am going to Olpe to pick up my 1/4 of the beef that is ready.
Tuesday I have to go to Olpe and get the rest of the beef and take it to Nicole’s house. After that I have to go to KU for the mental acuity test. That will take about 2 – 3 hours. I may stop at Costco afterwards but I may be too wiped out to stop.
I have to go to Emporia Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for exercise. My trainer is still on vacation Monday so we shifted that session to Thursday. This will be my last week of going to the gym three times a week. I’m looking forward to having one more free day a week.
Things have felt heavy for me today. I miss having someone to help me talk through situations like the sell of the rental house. It feels like I have had to make lots of financial decisions this year and it is easy for me to second guess myself. Everything always works out sooner or later. My mentor always taught me that the best thing you can do is make a decision and roll with it. Adjust if things aren’t going right but most of the time, doing nothing is not the best plan. I have learned how to pause before I make a major decision but then roll the dice and roll with it, sooner rather than later.
I still get uncomfortable sitting in the in-between space which is where I am with the rental house right now. Maybe that is why it feels heavy. Doing my best to allow what I am feeling and know that this too shall pass.
Grateful the tree guy finished the job, grateful for two stay at home days, and grateful it is to be cooler tomorrow.
