Went to Emporia this afternoon to get my hair cut. I took my hairdresser some eggs. It will be the last time I can do that for him. Stopped and got groceries at the grocery store on Merchant afterwards and then came home.
I got brave and listed some things on Facebook Marketplace. The first response was a scam. They wanted to send me a code of some sort to verify I was a human. I looked it up and found out it is a scam. I blocked them. Made me remember why I don’t like Facebook Marketplace.
However, I have sold three of the armless chairs. Two are to be picked up tomorrow late afternoon. We shall see if they come. The other one went to a friend so I know that one will go.
I listed some nightstands, luggage racks and the painted milk can also. No nibbles on any of those yet. I may end up donating all this stuff if it doesn’t move. Not up to having a garage sale.
Took another car load of trash to the curb. So far the trash man hasn’t complained about all my extra trash. The mice had chewed a hole in two of the bags so had to double bag them. I have a big pile of old chicken feed in the barn I need to clean up soon. Grateful I discovered the hole before I put the bag in my car. I wasn’t that lucky last week and made a mess in my car.
Still waiting on the price estimates for the flooring, kitchen cabinets, and countertops that I picked out last week. Hoping those will come in this week. I don’t think I asked her how long it takes to get an estimate back. Still haven’t heard from my builder but he may be waiting for these bids to come back before he finalizes his cost to build the house. All this takes time – I’m grateful I started before I close on the sell of this house. At this rate, the builder won’t need a deposit of any sort before May 1.
Tomorrow I have to be in town by 9:00 to do taxes and then I have exercise at noon. I go back to town at 4:00 to go to the Chiropractor and then do another tax session. I only have this Wednesday and next Wednesday and then tax season is over for this year. That will free up one whole day a week for me. It was a lot to make two trips to town every week on the same day. If I do them next year, I will do them on different days and not make two trips on the same day all season long.
The termite inspection the buyer has requested is being done Thursday afternoon. The new shed is being delivered Friday morning. I need to go to the city clerk’s office and pick up the permit so I have it in hand for the delivery. They haven’t called to tell me it is ready or to tell me it was denied. Ummmm…. Guess I will find out when I get there if they approved it or not.
Friday I go to Emporia for exercise and Saturday I am volunteering at the Friends of the Library book sale. Sunday and Monday I am going to Oklahoma to be in the totality of the eclipse. One of these days I will stay home and start packing. 29 days and counting.
I feel like I have a lot to do but it is still too early to do much of it. I will need to get all the utilities at this house disconnected and the utilities at the next house connected. I don’t think any of them except for the internet provider is the same company. I don’t like making phone calls but guess I will have to suck it up and get it done one of these days soon.
I need to go to Cottonwood and pay my property taxes on this house this week so that is taken care of before the close of the sale. I will have to pay the estimated property taxes for 2024 from January 1 – May 3 at closing. The taxes I have to pay are the second half of the 2023 taxes. It won’t be long before I will need to pay the second half of 2023 on all the rental properties too.
Just got a message about the 52” LG Smart TV I listed. They wanted to know if it was a smart TV. I almost said smarter than you. Read the caption – it says Smart TV! Geez! Not sure I have the patience for this.
We got a bit of rain today but not near enough. Most of it went east of us. Grateful we missed the nasty stuff. We had 40 plus MPH wind this morning. It is clearing off this afternoon and the sun is coming through. Sure wish we could get a couple inches of rain but guess it wasn’t my turn this time.
Grateful for a haircut today, grateful I am selling some of the stuff I have listed, and grateful more trash left the building today.
