It has been a crazy busy week this week! That's what happens when I take a couple days off, I guess. But it's been a couple big 2 hour meetings in which I had to sit in and take minutes - and that's not counting scheduling meetings. I had 165 emails when I came back to work on Tuesday. I've finally gotten through all those emails and more.
Hubby is getting ready to take Sheeba to get her yearly checkup and shots I think this morning. Regardless what it is for, I am looking forward to quiet and peace for at least an hour. I treasure those moments when there is silence. Maybe I will be motivated to get started on a set of minutes. I have 5 on my list to get done. Yeah, I've had to start writing them down - I'm afraid I'll forget one of them. Three are from 2-hour meetings; two from 1.5 hour meetings. So, yeah, gonna be busy for awhile. I don't have a lot on my calendar today so hopefully I can get them - at least one or two - done.
Been busy working on things for the house. The house we are currently in. Well, I haven't but hubby has been trying to get some people lined up to fix things. We got the inspection report and what the buyers want us to fix. They listed 9 things so we are working on them. One we just cannot do. They want us to replaster the pool (which it needs but isn't critical) and paint it white. Sorry- they added painting it white which changes it to cosmetic and we don't have to do that. We have no place to drain the pool and it will take $1200 to replaster it. We've already checked that out. It's not critical - it isn't leaking. Other items included fixing the waterfall pump - which has been fixed and it works perfectly. There were a few other issues with the pool which most have been done. One is the pool light - and since we haven't used the pool, we had no idea it was out. We will have to get someone to come fix it. And a couple other pool things. We had our home warranty out yesterday and they fixed a couple things too so we are trying to do their list.
Our please repair list for our new place contained ten items, but these are items that are all electric issues - hall light wasn't working, (not the bulb), open elctric box needs a cover, a couple other electrical things- I don't remember what they were. The owner said no - lol - her son-in-law told the realtor working for us to get it fixed and send him the bill. He would willingly pay it just to get rid of the house as it has been sitting empty for about six months.
So, depending on when things progress on this house - and if it will (the buyers have invested a lot in to checking things out so I would be surprised if they back out now) meet their approval, we can get a date scheduled to sign papers. Initially it was July 2nd, and it still could be. Most of our things are packed already and in storage. In fact, I can't even remember what we have in storage. Guess that is a sign we need to let it go.
I'm gradually weeding out some other things here. Some things I really don't want to get rid of, but I have no place for them. I keep telling myself that they are just "things". If they got caught up in a fire I would not bother to replace them. But still....
The mini marathon that I recently completed sent y t-shirt, hat and medal and I received it yesterday. The past two marathons the shirts were too big. So I dropped from a large to a medium. There is no way I can even pull over my head, I don't think. Gonna see if my youngest granddaughter wants it for I don't know of anyone else it would fit. They also sent me an email yesterday that I can walk 100 miles or 500 miles from June 22nd to December 31 - and for $60 I can get another medal and tshirt. I'm going to do it. I think my youngest son is as well. Even for 500 miles, it is only 2.6 miles a day - and I do 2.4 right now with walking the dog every morning. I can just add a block or two to the route and I have my 2.6 miles a day. They are doing it to help us keep healthy. I need it cause I sit on my butt all day.
I need to get busy so will hush. Stopped by the dentist yesterday and he looked at the infection and said it was good. I go in August for a cleaning and he said we'll talk about a crown then if I want one to fill the gap. I'm leaning towards it - I'm tired of these infectoins. I really like this dentist. He wasn't pushing me to set up an appointment to get it done.
Have a great weekend - don't know if I'll be online or not.
Happy Friday!
