We are buying another investment property. The people that were looking at it didn’t have the funds to get it so we are going to go forward with buying it. We will close as soon as the title company can get the paperwork together. It should be before March 1 and maybe as soon as February 14. We will have lots of clean up work to do on the house and in the yard and lots of painting and some repairs to do. That will give me a project for a bit.
Not sure if we are going to rent it or turn it into an Airbnb. Renting would be easier and less cleaning but we could make more money if we did the Airbnb thing. We will see if we can find a renter and go from there. People are always looking for properties to rent in Cottonwood Falls so am thinking it will be fairly easy to find renters. It is a two-bedroom, one-bath house with a nice sized living room and dining room. It has a huge yard and a nice outbuilding.
Katy is still alive so far today. We have an eye dropper that we use to give her water occasionally. She hasn’t eaten anything or moved much for over 24 hours now. She is a tough old cat.
The chickens gave us 21 eggs this morning and we haven’t checked yet this afternoon. It may be a record setting egg day on the chicken ranch today. I have lots of extra eggs if anyone needs any. I deliver on Mondays so let me know if you want me to bring you some tomorrow.
It has been very windy today on the prairie. The temperatures are in the mid 30’s and the wind has been gusting up to 30 MPH. Good day to stay inside and stay warm. I have some soup in the crockpot for dinner tonight. I used the leftover pot roast and veggies and added some stuff to it. I hope it will taste OK. I accidentally added Soy Sauce instead of Worcestershire sauce. Oops. May have left over frozen pizza instead.
I didn’t get on the hot line last night. I was too emotionally tired to get on. I put in over 12 hours last week which is their limit and decided not to wear myself completely out. If I burn out I won’t want to continue volunteering.
I still haven’t heard about the newsletter stuffing project for the Symphony. I guess I will hear something sooner or later. I don’t have any plans so it doesn’t make much difference when it gets here to work on.
I ordered some new jeans and they came in yesterday. I was happy to find I could get into them as they are a size smaller than what I am wearing now. They are a bit long but better too long than too short. I like the way they fit so will keep them. I may order another couple of pair – I’ll see how they wash up and make sure I really like them before I order more.
We need to go take the contract to our seller and when we come home I will probably take a short nap. I am becoming a creature of habit and taking a nap every afternoon has become routine for me. Guess I don’t have anything better to do so why not. Jim is laying down now and I will have to wake him up soon so we can go to Cottonwood Falls and deliver the contract.
I have a tire that needs to be repaired so will take my car into Cottonwood Falls tomorrow morning to get that fixed. It was low last week and we aired it up. It is back down again so obviously their is a leak in it. I may need to use Jim’s car to deliver eggs in. Good thing I know how to drive a stick shift.
Jim’s article was in the KS Reflector this morning. I put a copy of it on my Facebook page. It takes a few minutes of reading it to realize it is a satire piece.
I took a long nap when we came back from signing the contract with our seller in Cottonwood Falls. I slept for almost three hours. Feeling rested now – trust I will be able to sleep sometime tonight.
Since I took such a long nap I will get on the Hot Line later tonight if they are busy. It will give me something to do until I get tired enough to get more sleep.
February will be here tomorrow. I always think winter is over when February gets here – or at least if it isn’t over I know it won’t last much longer. What a mild winter we have had. Spring is coming soon and I am so ready for it. A fresh start and green grass sounds like just what the doctor ordered to make us all feel better.
Grateful for the opportunity to purchase another investment property, grateful I fit in the smaller sized jeans, and grateful January is coming to a close.
