Sleep at last! I slept really good last night. Woke up feeling rested. Love when that happens.
Nicole and I had a quiet night at her new house last night. I ordered and picked up Japanese Chicken Teriyaki for dinner and some Dove ice cream bars. Yesterday had not been an easy day for Nicole. She had to stay up late and work on a work project but I went to bed early.
She was already at work this morning before I got up. I went out for breakfast and then went to the old house. I mowed half her front yard and part of the back yard. I hope to finish mowing tomorrow morning when it is cool. I got too hot to finish this morning. Her new house yard almost needs mowed again too.
I worked on hand mopping some floors inside and then came back to her new house for a shower and clean clothes. After I hydrate and rest I will go back and do some more floors this afternoon. She has poison ivy or poison oak in her backyard and I wanted to get out of my mowing clothes and get them washed before I spread it to Nicole. I have never reacted to it but she does badly. Not what I want to happen before our trip to Japan.
I confirmed with the VA that they will be picking up her garage full of items she wants to donate tomorrow. They are to call me when they are headed to her house. I trust they are bringing a big truck so they can take everything.
I contacted two realtors this morning. I have heard back from one of them but they have to refer me to some one else as she is not registered to work in KS. Hoping to hear back from the lady who she referred us to and the other realtor I called sometime this afternoon or tomorrow so I can get them over to see the house tomorrow or Thursday. I’m not going to do too much more cleaning until I know which way Nicole is going on selling the house. If the investor buys it I won’t have to do any more work to it. If she lists it with a realtor I may need to do more cleaning and possibly arrange for some new carpet to be installed.
Two weeks from today we leave for Japan. So nice to have that to look forward to after these last two hard weeks. Hoping she knows what is going to happen to the old house before we leave. May not happen but that is the intention we have set. Craig has agreed to act on her behalf if needed while we are in Japan.
May go out and do a bit of shopping until I am ready to go back to the old house and work for another couple of hours. Have a few little things I want to get to take to Japan and I might as well get them here since I have time. May do a Costco run too.
Clean clothes and a shower make me feel like a new woman. Energy has returned and I can now proceed with my day. Getting things done today. We are ever so close to the finish line of this huge project.
Japan here we come in two weeks!
