Wednesday that feels like Thursday

Casadena · November 2021

I am draggin a** today. Little man was up around midnight to eat, big man was up from like 3-430 for no reason. He's not been sleeping well the last few weeks and i have no idea why. Since about 8 months old I can count on one hand the number of times he's been awake between 8pm and 6am. Any suggestions on how to get him to stay in bed?! He's been out of the crib for a few months so i don't think it's that transition. Crazy for the next few weeks and i'm actually looking forward to it.

Very ready for brighter morning with DST this weekend!

I am crossing my fingers that the stomach bug going around the elementary school doesn't hit our house. I HATE HATE HATE them.

I am tired but gave blood yesterday and I can't have coffee yet so that's likely the issue.

DH is off today and is sleeping still....JERK! ;-)

BK was so tired last night and fell asleep at the table lol
We ended up letting her sleep a bit - to take the edge off at least - and put her to bed early.
I also crashed early. M had been up late the night before fking around with his computer and getting pissy, so he kept waking me up. Fk that dude sometimes, he knows I was pissed.

Anyways M and I actually woke up with our alarm, and managed to just snuggle for a bit. It rarely happens but it was really nice.

I have never had such a huge response to a rental ad! Over 200 responses and it hasn't even been 24 hours. Whoa. Plus this is my one house that is in a less popular area of town, so I usually have less interest/showings. It's not a bad area, it's just way out in the boondocks.

We basically set up an open house from 3-5:30PM today, but my H is the only one who is going to be there. I feel like I fed him to the lions, lol.

It's always hard to say, though. It can be really random. On average, there is a 50% show rate. But I've also had experiences where I had 4-5 people scheduled for a time slot and no one came. I have a few dozen people that said they are coming. I guess we'll see.

Though some interesting things I've heard from a few people is that I was one of the only rental owners who even replied back to them. NOLA isn't usually a tight rental market, but I'm getting the impression it is right now similar to the rest of the country.

Omg, I read big man a your DH, Casadena, and it took me a minute to figure out what was happening. Clearly I need more coffee.

I stayed up to watch Atlanta win the world series last night. Super exciting, but I don't understand why they start baseball games that last 4+ hours after 8.

Otherwise, SSDD. Today is my late brother's birthday, so kind of a funky day. Trying to immerse myself in work.

Side note Angel's ashes came home yesterday. It's sitting at my mum's place until we get things cleaned up and figured out where to put it.
Also if we do our kitchen, it's one less thing to risk breaking or anything.

Btw what are some lunch kits that adults and kids can use? Right now I have 2 sistema style kits and I'm debating just buying a mix set but not sure. I would rather get something that not only can M & I use, but when BK is in school she can use too

This is large set I mean {amazon version}
Sistema Klip It Accents 18-Piece Food Storage Container Set : Amazon.ca: Home

I hate when I'm sleeping really hard when my alarm goes off. Especially now when it's super dark out. I never want to get up. Even DefConn was out until I woke him up.

DefConn has definitely taken charge of his mornings this school year and doesn't need me/us for anything. It has made the mornings where I'm moving slow easier since I literally just have to get myself logged in for work.

I'm excited that we can start scheduling covid vaccines for kids that are 5-11. I am going to wait until after DefConn's Dr appt next week. DH wants me to ask the doctor some questions/get his opinion (he's such a nervous nellie even though we both got vaxxed w/no issues). Since it's so soon, I'm fine with delaying scheduling him until we see the doctor.

DefConn is ready for his vax. He asked me the other day when he was getting it.

SSDD otherwise. Dinner w/my dad tonight.

I need to start getting my crap together regarding holidays. I'm sure my online ordering blitz will start soon. Oohhh yeah, I bought us a bourbon advent calendar. My sisters and I went in on a scotch one for my dad. I'm hoping we can give it to him at Thanksgiving.

@MyNameIsNot sending vibes on this difficult day
@mrsconn23 I started holiday prep/shopping. All of the talk about shipping delays made me nervous so I began ordering the kids' gifts earlier. Because the last few weeks aren't hectic the way December seems to be, I've actually been wrapping gifts the day they arrive. I'm already anticipating enjoying this come December, this might be my new way
@short+sassy hope you guys find a great new tenant!

It was in the 30s when I woke up...in the 40s now but it's definitely fall weather and I'm here for it.

STARMOON44 · November 2021

My friend won his city council race and my other friend is now Mayor of her town. So proud of them!

I think @mrsconn23 is living the dream because of her bourbon advent calendar, lol. Sweet! I've seen them for wine or beer at Costco, but not for liquors.

short+sassy · November 2021

@MyNameIsNot, I'm sorry today is a tough day for you.

@STARMOON44, awesome! That's great both of your friends won their elections.

Those FB ads, man. LOL

short+sassy · November 2021

The day almost just started and I might already have a tenant without even doing the first showing, lol. There is an Illinois roofing company that's coming down in a couple weeks to help with all the roofing damage from Hurricane Ida. This is a good sized house (4 bed/2bath) and they want it to house the owner and some workers.

With any luck, I'll have their background check done today. They'll Paypal or Venmo me the security/holding deposit and we'll have the lease signed electronically.

They're also willing to pay $200/month more because they only plan to stay for about 6 months instead of a year. It does mean I'll have to go through all of this again next year. But, for a total of $1800 more dollars, totally worth it to say the least!

MissKittyDanger · November 2021

@MyNameIsNot extra hugs and extra coffee

@short+sassy, I hope you find a good tenant(s).
@mrsconn23 - Score on the adult Advent calendars

The cleaners just left and my house smell Fabuloso!

I have to trade in my current work laptop tomorrow so making sure I have everything saved to the server and screenshots of my current settings. Hoping it doesn't take too long to get back up and running tomorrow with the new equipment. It'll be a different style computer and docking station. Fingers crossed.

Someone hacked my Etsy account and H is being a jerk about it. I’m exhausted and ready for sleep.

Going out of town without Baby M for the first time this weekend and I have a lot of feelings about it. I’m excited to run again (racing the Indianapolis half-Marathon) but nervous to leave him.

mrsconn23 · November 2021

UM HI @charlotte989875! You're coming...here? LOL We're actually going to be downtown on Saturday night since we're going out for our anniversary. Are you staying downtown or on the outskirts?

OH and GOOD LUCK!!

OK. I'll message you toward the end of the week when we have an idea of what our timing is going to be. We're going to a comedy show around 7 and then out to a late dinner at St. Elmo's. But we can check-in at, like, 3. It depends what time DH wakes up because he has to work Friday night.

Yes! Definitely let me know! I’m getting in sometime Friday afternoon and sticking around until after the race.

@short+sassy the market in your area is hot hot hot. Is it safe to assume Ida has a play in this?
@mrsconn23, you really are living the life. Liquor advent calendar? Sign me up!
@Casadena, I read “big man” as your hubby too. Lol. I was talking to someone about my lack of sleep, can’t remember who, and they said a lavender spray on the sheets/pillow or even a lavender essential oil burner? But don’t ask me, I drug myself to get some shut eye.

Annoying coworker was asking someone we work with (visiting from another branch) if he was going to propose to his g/f this year. He said no. She kept on telling him he was getting old and running out of time and if they wanted children (and how do we know they do?!?) he’s REALLY running out of time because they need a year after marriage for themselves before a baby comes. He’s 33. Dating for 2 years now. Wth!!! He shrugged and laughed it off, but I could tell he wss getting irritated with her poking into his life like that: if he wasn’t - i was FOR him. He said they weren’t ready yet and she couldn’t leave it alone.

People need to STFU about other people’s relationships! Where is annoying coworker hurt that someone she works with is *gasp* dating someone and not married?!? What if they ended up just having a baby without getting married? I mean that NEVER happens… what would she say then?

anyway, I’m waiting on my friend who wants to go shopping and dinner tonight (she’s a constant canceler) but I got asked to a work dinner so I’d like to hear from her (she gets off work in a hour and a half).

That's another good example of why annoying coworker is ANNOYING coworker!

I don't think Hurricane Ida has much to do with the rental market being hot. For NOLA proper, there were a lot of houses that had damage, but most of them were not totally destroyed. I had 3-4 people mention they had lost their home in Ida and two of them were from areas about one hour west.

I felt especially bad for one of them. She is on Section 8, but in a different parish (county). A tree fell on the house she is renting. Now there is mold/mildew in the home and other issues. S8 told her she needs to find another home ASAP. Though she didn't seem to be aware that she can't necessarily just look for houses outside of her parish. Her voucher needs to be transferred. I'm not sure if that happens before or after she has found a home, but that's definitely another obstacle she'll face.

My funny of the day and proof I need way more coffee.

I finally opened an online banking account for one of my business checking accounts, because their automated phone line has been on the fritz for the last two days and their live customer service don't answer their phones (eyeroll).

I just logged in and my eyes were like saucers when I saw a balance of $41K. I was like, "OMG! What happened? How do I have so much money in that account? Did something awesome happen, like the SBA went nuts?" Ooooohhhh. No. That's the my real estate loan balance, lmao. Yep. That makes a lot more sense.

Aaannnddd, my checking account info isn't there at all. Sounds about right for this dysfunctional bank.

@short+sassy In case you need to feel better about yourself, I put my pants on backwards today ...
