Well, W actually vacuumed the house Sunday morning. I couldn’t believe it. I emailed her Saturday (to her maiden name email) and said what Gucci suggested word for word. Sunday morning I went to church and then to the gym. I pulled in the gym parking lot and my W pulled in as I was getting out of my car. She sat in her car and I walked in to the gym. I’m pretty she left and went to the house at that time and that’s when she vacuumed. I was at the gym for about 1 ½ hours. When I left the gym her car was back in the parking lot in a different space. I then went to the house to do a few last minute cleaning things to house before the open house. I walk in and see that she vacuumed. I just about passed out. She also took her mail I left along with the two joints bills I left for her. On a side note, she only vacuumed the first floor and not the second. She didn’t do a very good job vacuuming but then again she never did like doing housework…I mostly did it. I guess the point though is that she did step up and finally helped me out.
Then I start analyzing it to death. Why did she do it? Did she just do it because she didn’t want to be at the gym with me and left knowing I was at the gym and it would be safe for her to be at the house and decided to vacuum and then returned to the gym? Did she do it to step up and try to be nice? Why did she only vacuum the first floor? Was it just to say she vacuumed and then she quickly left? I don’t know. I don’t know that it much matters anyway.
W emailed me Sunday night (responding from her maiden name email I sent to her) and said she didn’t see my email until just then. She told me that she went to the house in the morning and vacuumed. She said she was surprised the agent hadn’t put up advertising signs for the open house and the name sign and brochure box still were not up. She said she was going to email the agent about this. She finished by thanking me for calling her last week with the update on the house.
I don’t believe her that she didn’t check her email until Sunday night. She used to always check her email many times during the day. I think she was just trying to look good that she decided to vacuum not knowing that I had sent her the email. I don’t buy it.
I met the agent at the house before the open house. Agent told me she was putting up the signs yesterday. When W said she would email agent I was unhappy because she made no mention of copying me on email which I had asked her to do…breaking another boundary. Agent emailed W and I today with update from yesterday’s open house. Only two people came through but no interest. Agent said she would install brochure box tonight but it is difficult to install. I was thinking of responding to agent (and copying W) to thank her for the update and offering to install the brochure box myself.
Anyway, I was very surprised that W actually vacuumed the house. Upsets me that she couldn’t have responded to me last week to say that she would do it. I guess it’s good that at least she did it? Gucci was right. She did do it. Not sure if it was out of guilt or what? I was waiting for her to email me as to what I meant that I took care of the cleaning and then she goes and actually cleaned. Shocked…
Gucci, your email seemed to work, now what?
