I got home for the final time around 9:30 last night. The inspection went okay. There was a time period there for a bit yesterday where I was going to walk away from the whole thing. I think I have a game plan in place now.
My realtor in new home city is worthless. I wish I had gotten rid of her a long time ago. She showed up yesterday at the inspection long enough to open the door and then leave. She neglected to tell me that I would be expected to pay the inspector $300 that day at the end of the inspection and that he doesn't take credit cards. Fortunately he did take a paper check.
Also this weekend my uncle passed away from Covid. He was fully vaccinated but had been a heavy smoker for decades. That means that my cousins have lost both of their parents within a 6 month time frame.
Ugh. Sorry your realtor isn't more helpful. Sometimes I wonder why/how they get paid for unlocking doors. Although the good ones do earn it. It's too bad there are so many crappy ones out there. So sorry about your uncle.

Good Afternoon! I have not visited my relative in awhile, due to DH continuing to get exposed to Covid at work, so we finally went long enough without any coworkers getting sick that I could make the drive today. No bad news to report with the relatives, so life is chugging along. Enjoy the weekend!

Peeps! I missed you all last weekend! I was at an out of town swim meet, which was nice, because I got to see folks I have not seen in two years. Went to an outdoor music festival while I was there (a coworker's band was playing and we had never met before, but we did after his set) and took my niece out for her birthday -- vegan Indian food, which actually rocked! Did well at the meet (one silver, four bronze) and the Senior Games swim qualifier is this Tuesday, and the cycling is on Halloween, so not much time to rest. Planning on baking an apple streusel cake this weekend, and cleaning out some storage bins from the spare room. No clue what's in them.

Getting ready to head out with another load of stuff. I can definitely see that the house is getting emptier.

Well peeps---turns out most of what is in the bins is DH's stuff or our old tax returns, which are shreddable. The donation truck is coming on the 1st of November, so he better get a move on to go through those bins.

Good Afternoon Kids! It was time for Speedy to get those claws of his trimmed, but because I've got a lifting restriction, DD came along to help. He is hyper today! I wonder if a full moon affects dogs like it does people.

We headed to the garden center for plants and of course, I had to weed the yard first before I could put them out . At least it is overcast.

Hello peeps! Here on a Monday is odd for me. I am off tomorrow for the Senior Games round 1. Tomorrow we swim and then DH and I are going out for our anniversary dinner. Nothing fancy -- just over to the seafood places near the docks.

Belated Happy Annivesary NancysSummerSip! And ners, the incision is healing, but I'm still trying to get the area that has swollen up to settle down. At least it's not an infection (I've been to Urgent Care, and back to see the surgeon), but it's SO annoying. My energy isn't back to what it should be yet, either... I've got a lot to get caught up on, but don't know at this point when I'll be back to "normal", whatever that is...

Thanks peeps! I made a reservation so we could do the happy hour and hit the snack menu, which looks amazing. Burnt ends and cornbread, crab fritters, smoked fish dip, kimchi pickles, fried chicken and for DH, there is a churro with marshmallow and dulce de leche. I probably should look at the entrees, but with starters like those, who needs an entree, right? I did decently enough to qualify for states, so next up is Sunday's 5K/10K bike event.

I do not like my new normal. Oh well off to do some home PT then dinner then have work to get completed.

Good Morning Kids! It's very gloomy here today, and we've got rain that's supposed to arrive this afternoon. Wasn't feeling great yesterday, and was praying I hadn't picked up anything while visiting my relative at the nursing home last Friday, but I'm feeling better today.

Got a Shringrix vaccine this morning. Hoping the side effects aren't too bad. So far just a sore arm.
Very gloomy and a cold wind here. It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow.

I need to get my Shingrix vaccine but had my Covid booster a couple of weeks ago so not sure if I need to wait longer before doing that.

Doctor didn't ask how long since I got the booster.

Hello to peeps and Friday! Spent a lot of my spare time dismantling years of my mother's paperwork, getting it ready for shredding. She kept everything. A very meticulous record keeper and very neat and detailed. But dang, the woman killed a lot of trees with all those documents. Anyway, that's done and ready for the commercial shredder.

Happy Saturday! Finished the great photo project -- labeled and stored all the photos (mostly DH's) in a bin with what little of my mother's stuff I kept. So three bins empty. Two more will also be empty when I ship all those old A/V tapes to the recycling facility. I can handle one bin. But the other five with stuff we don't need, is, well, stuff we don't need.
