Friday

My local RE meeting went really well last night.  I had three people come up to me and asked me to e-mail/text them pics and more information about my properties on the Westbank.  I have three on the Westbank (across the MS river from the main part of the city) and two in an area called East New Orleans.  No one asked me about East NOLA, meh.  It is a less desirable part of town compared to the Westbank.  But also where my properties have the best cash flow.

But the other thing I am excited about is the speaker who was there is a leading expert on buying REOs (foreclosures), before they hit the MLS.  Between the overbuying that's been happening over the last few years, the RE market already softening and a recession looming, I think the RE market will have unprecedented opportunities in the medium-term future.  Nobody knows exactly when, but sometime in the next few years and I want my ducks in a row and be ready. 

At any rate, he is having all-day class on Saturday all about it and I signed up last night.  So that is now half my weekend, lol.  After work today, I'm meeting my H at Costco to finish our weekly scan.  Sunday definitely needs to be my day of rest!

Sounds like a busy weekend!  I am going to a horror themed escape room with friends tomorrow, and then probably housework.  I might go for a hike if it is nice - got to enjoy the fall colours while I can.  It has been so cold and gloomy this week though.

Sounds like a successful meeting @short+sassy and glad you have some nice things planned @kerbohl

Kids and I have a trunk or treat tonight and they're with stbxh this weekend.  Stating every day that they don't want to go, which I feel bad about.
The usual grading/chores planned but tomorrow is also the biggest fundraiser of the year at my kids' school.  I'm very probably too involved on the PTA so I'll be spending most of the day helping to set up and the party itself (it's a Parents Night Out) and I'm excited about the moms I'm sitting with.  It's a Halloween theme this year and costumes are encouraged.  I'm admittedly not a halloween adult and haven't worn a costume in decades.  In the group text last night one of my friends asked if anyone is wearing a costume.  I volunteered that I have black cat ears and leopard print ears, def wearing black leggins and boots but between a black sweater and leopard sweater.  Turns out we're all planning versions of that (mouse ears, wolf ears, another black cat so I'll go with the leopard...it's nice when you find your people  ) 

I have a long weekend (Monday is Diwali), and I'm getting my Covid booster as well. I haven't had a booster since Nov 2021 so I'm definitely due.  Trying Pfizer for the first time, hope it doesn't knock me sideways like my second dose and first booster (though not complaining if it does, better than not having it).

We're doing a trunk or treat today with IL's at their church - I know N is super excited to wear his chicken costume, lol.  He keep pointing at it and saying "bawk bawk bawk". It's hilarious.  G is excited for candy but i'm skeptical that he'll actually put on his costume.  We'll see.  

Tomorrow is family pictures and i'm still really stressed about what I'm wearing. My brain has so moved on to fall/winter clothes and i'm having a really hard time figuring out what i'm comfortable in that will look cute with the boys.  They're going to wear jeans and nice tees/polos depending on whatever color shirt H picks.  Then we're stopping by IL's to see H's grandma and aunt/uncle who haven't seen the boys in forever.  

Probably yard work and park/library time on Sunday!  Should be a nice weekend.

So, so glad it's Friday. N came home yesterday afternoon so we just hung out together last night. 

No real plans for the weekend. We may go apple picking tomorrow. Seems like the weather will be nice.

I finally got my vacuum working.
It wasn't the filter, there was a clog. I guess it's good I cleaned the filter anyways, but I wish I knew it was a clog first so I could finish then clean filter.

Couches come tomorrow. We are not prepared so there's a fair amount to be done tonight.
I told M I genuinely hope it's after gymnastics because I want to really clear and clean the living room first. I know he can but not the way I'd like to.
Ideally I'd be cleaning the living room and have time to wipe the walls down.

M & I both need tires this year, and I was saying how I wanna get a garage door opener soon.
M's tires aren't cheap, so we've gotta wait on that.

Must be trunk or treat day, my boss’ daughter also had it.  Fun! I love the simple and classic “animal ears” idea @ei34

I am slammed at work.  Don’t get me wrong looooove it.  Love being busy.  I tried to step out real quick on my lunch to trade out some yucky scent warmers from bath & body (autumn night smells like cologne! Ick!) and pick up some make-up for my costume tomorrow but party city had snails for employees.  I was third in line for 5 minutes while one associate helped out someone with balloons.  Another customer went up for a balloon, and I realized anyone buying a balloon would take 15 minutes of an associates time.  So I put my stuff back and said I’d go after work.  But really, maybe Walmart has all the costume paint and fake wounds I need? 

Ummmm N sounds like a ham @Casadena
@kerbohl, horror themed escape room? You’re living my dream

@CharmedPam I hear rumour there will be scare actors in the actual escape room!  I'm pumped for it.
