I got home about 7:00 last night. I was in bed and asleep a little after 9:00. Slept almost all night and feel much better today.

I met with a realtor yesterday afternoon. He gave me some information to pass on to Nicole. His estimated sale price was a bit higher than we had expected. Nicole hit overwhelm and needs some time to decide what to do. The realtor did say not to replace carpet or do anything else to the house. He didn’t think the return on that investment would make it worth while so I cancelled the carpet estimate appointment.

We considered getting a second realtor to give us a second opinion but didn’t hear back from her before I was ready to leave town. She called on my way home. Not sure Nicole is up to showing her the house and I’m not sure I am up to going back to KC to show it to her either. We may just go with what the first realtor said and be done with it. He anticipated Nicole would get several offers within the first three days on the market and felt he priced it at a price that an investor would match or even bid a bit higher. It will be good if she can have a final offer before we leave for Japan August 1.

Kathy helped me get my car unloaded when I got home last night and I finally got everything put away this morning. Still need to do some house work but it seems to wait for me.

Craig called this morning to see if I would watch the grandkids today. Emporia has no water and their summer school got cancelled as a result. He brought them out around 9:00. I hadn’t seen them for a bit so it has been fun to have them here today.

I picked up the Kumano Kodo guide book that was waiting for me at the post office. The tour company we are using in Japan had sent it to me. It is a great book and is helping me finally make sense of the walking options we have. Nicole and I will read it on our long flight to Japan.

Not fully functioning on all my brain cylinders today. I keep putting things down and can’t remember where I put them. Good thing I have nothing important that needs done today.

Tomorrow morning I am taking Legend and Roxy in for their annual vet check. Tagen said he would help me if he stays all night. If he goes home tonight Kathy said she would go in with me. It is hard for one person to handle both of them as neither one are used to being on a leash.

Recovery day for me today. Another hot Kansas summer day. All is well.
