Since I'm here... I'll do a quick update before I get back to sales. I need to sell more stuff.
So the move has come and gone, and there have been numerous trips back and forth to haul the crap that wasn't packed when the movers came. I've made a lot of progress, yet there is still so much left to do. I'm kind of overwhelmed, but I'm not sure why, since the heavy lifting is mostly done?
The kitchen cabinets in my former home are being painted today, and next week is a tightly scheduled cadence of services: tile cleaning on Monday, carpet installation in the bedrooms on Tuesday, house cleaning on Wednesday, staging on Thursday, and professional photographer on Friday. The sign is out (coming soon) and it will hit the MLS next Friday. And as mother nature does, we are expecting a foot of snow on Sunday/Monday. My carpet guy seems the most concerned, but I figure it is what it is. I'll deal with it later.
I'm ready for this show to be over. The only stuff left to move is some stuff in the basement and the garage. I can do that intermittently.
In the meantime, life goes on. I don't hear much from my D21, though she did text me last night that she nailed Love Shack at a bar karaoke night and everyone told her she was awesome. She turned down a permanent job with the company that hired her as a summer intern last summer. I know she'll turn this into a story with a happy ending, but all I can say is WTF.
D18 is doing basketball and plodding along. She's been a little confused by our house thing. Probably because we keep going back to the old house to haul loads. But she only got mad once, so I figure it's all good. We've been really enjoying the gas fireplace, which puts out a lot of heat. I had a wood burning one in my old house, and I just didn't ever have the energy to do it. My D21 was the fire junkie. So that's been nice.
Now all I need to concentrate on is selling. I need more projects in the pipeline, so that's my focus right now.
So that's it for now. I might be crazy when this is all over.
Hope you guys all dug out from the snow last weekend. My folks are totally over it, and are fortunate that their furnace went south on Tuesday and not then. God was looking out for them, for sure.
Have a great weekend- Betsey
