Working on Wednesday
in Wedding Woes
I'm in the office for a bit this morning to work on a project that was best served with a real desk/computer/monitor. There's like 10 people here - I really need to stop wearing workout clothes if I go to the office bc everyone else is dressed normally
Re: Working on Wednesday
We put in an offer on a townhome last night. They have until 5 PM today to respond. It's a really strong offer and if it's not accepted or countered, we'll probably give up the search for now. ::Fingers crossed:: Purple shirt vibes are for jobs, not sure what the vibe is for house offers!
Otherwise it's business as usual here. I am putting together a 2-hour class for work and need to get the draft for that finalized today. Mani/pedi appointment tonight and eye appointment tomorrow afternoon. Would like to watch part of the VP debate tonight so we'll see how late I can stay awake. Have not been able to fall asleep the last couple of nights so I'll probably want to go to bed early tonight. Need to do some cleaning and de-junking. Especially the de-junking if we'll be moving in a couple of months.
With more notice this time, I'm going to use this time to finally get organized. Go through all my papers and purge. Finally get all my filing done.
The track for Hurricane Delta has moved west, away from me. We're still in the cone, but now we are on the eastern edge of it, instead of right in the middle. But it's still almost two days out from hitting the Gulf coast of the US, so we shall see.
We are on our final push to finish the two duplexes we've been renovating. I think we'll be done early next week. Then we need an inspection to get the last bit of my rehab money. Then I can start speaking to lenders about getting it refinanced. Come to think of it, I should start getting the usual loan paperwork in order.
My poor H has been pretty sick the last couple days. I told him to rest for a day or two if he needs to, but he's been pushing on. It's not COVID, or at least we don't think so. He hasn't been exposed (that we know of) and the only symptoms he has is he feels extra tried, crappy, and has a little bit of an upset stomach. But no high temps, coughing, or breathing issues.
I have my upper body seated workout with my trainer today. I'm still seated today. Maybe next week I can stand. It will depend on what the PT tells me on Friday. I spent a good chunk of yesterday afternoon on the screened porch. It was a beautiful afternoon. The dog curled up with me under a blanket, and he stayed there for hours even after I came inside.
I'm getting annoyed at Chicago (sorry knotties that live there). DD told me that Indiana will probably be put on their banned travel list. I don't get it. We aren't that bad, not the best but certainly not the worst. It really doesn't effect me, because when we go there we stay at DD's for the entire time. Their ban just says if you come into the area you have to self quarantine for 14 days before going out in the community. DD doesn't actually live in Chicago city limits, but her town often follows the same guidelines. What it does effect is that if DD comes here she has to quarantine for 14 days after returning home which means no working. They are suppose to be here for Thanksgiving so hopefully we won't be on the list at that time. Covid sucks. I am planning on going up there as soon as I'm able to drive or H can drive me - hopefully in a little over a week.
There was an open house for a home around the corner from mine on Sat. They had a lot of pictures in the ad, so we didn't go. But I'll be keeping a close eye on it! Not that I want to buy it but, if it sells at or near the list price, that would skyrocket the value of my own house by over 30%. I've been thinking about getting a new Home Equity Line of Credit next year anyway (long story) and if I could bump up the limit even higher because the comps for my house increased, that would be another good reason to do it.
@charlotte989875 amen!
@CharmedPam ooh
@short+sassy we're suppose to get hit with some heavy rain early next week because of Delta. Hopefully it doesn't hit you guys much
@ILoveBeachMusic a few provinces are like that here. M's aunt lives in British Columbia now and M's cousin lives in our city. They haven't been able to visit in over a year {they try to visit at least 2x a year} and at this rate are thinking of doing RV so they don't have to quarantine because of plane
@MNNEBride Fingers crossed
H's pool table got delivered this morning. He took the morning off to be available for the delivery/set up people, but he really just reminded me of that insurance commercial with the guy checking on the plumber. Like, dude, this guy told you he's been doing this for 23 years. I don't think he needs your help. But we'll probably get to play with it for a little bit after work. Then we have a game at 7 and I'm going to watch the VP debate late. And that means I'm not cooking and ordering wings.
I hope @Jen4948 is ok with the storm shifting west.
ETA: I'm team normalizing active wear in the office. Down with business casual!
That reminds me I need to deal with my loans ....
Next time I'll go in store since we'll need some halloween candy and diapers {likely no one trick or treating but I'm picking some up in case and putting in bags for safety}
Our original plan was for BabyKitten to just dress up and visit IL's and my mum for funsies.
This weekend is Thanksgiving, so I'm making our dinner Saturday and then making waffles on Monday morning - we got a waffle iron 2 weeks ago and I wanna try it
@short+sassy, an office with a window! Moving on up. You can now literally stare out at the window and day dream.
and thanks @charlotte989875, I’m rooting for us too. I mean, by definition, he’s technically a rebound relationship, so I need stories about rebounds that were successful. Lay them on me! Lol
I am going to reschedule my riding lesson tomorrow. I didn't ride very well yesterday and my body needs a break so I scheduled a Mani/ pedi and a massage instead, lol.
DH is going out for dinner with his friends tomorrow so it will just be me and DS for bedtime. I think I will treat myself to a rosé or maybe a G&T.
@CharmedPam DH was my rebound guy! We had known each other for years but had never dated.
MNNE - Congrats on the house!
I will be popping out to BJs on my lunch soon. Hoping they have everything we need! They have been out of the allergy pills the last few times and I had to pay an arm and a leg for them elsewhere.
I also have yoga tonight. H has a dentist appointment after work and then he will get DD. I told him to pick up a pizza on their way home, so fingers crossed he does! I love pizza!
I had an oddly productive morning before work. I've started waking up a bit earlier, and it's crazy how much more I can get accomplished. It might have been that I could call companies earlier instead of on my lunch break and I wasn't put on hold ....
@charlotte989875 We're re-watching Schitt's Creek after DD goes to bed. Still just as funny the second time around
@CharmedPam DH was my rebound!
Cold and rainy day here. Finally getting to WFH from home today after going into the office every day last week. Normally Fridays are also WFH days but I have a customer training I need to do at their location. Luckily I can wear jeans when I go there because it's a bunch of dudes my age (mid-30s) that own a CBD manufacturing company.
Now I'm fondly thinking of the opposite, lol. The one time I did a lot of dating between LTRs was between my last b/f and my H. That was about an 8-month gap. Internet dating was becoming more commonplace and I tried it for the first time. So many choices. So many men to meet over drinks or dinner. I felt like Scarlett O'Hara at the BBQ. It was a great time and I met a lot of cool people, even if we didn't end up together.
What about people who live in IN and work in Chicago @ILoveBeachMusic wonder if that means someone who is an essential worker can't work if they live in IN?
Yuck @cupcait927 are you doing them in person or virtual? I have a Medicare presentation to give via Zoom this afternoon. The ship has sailed on me looking nice, I'm going to keep a pony tail, throw on some makeup and a nice shirt and keep my yoga pants on
