Today is D-day – the final property payment. Will it go off with a whimper or a bang? I’ll know at 4 pm est. I’m betting on whimper as I am dealing with the lawyer, not the new owners, so it should be a simple transaction (she says ever so hopeful 🙏🏻). If something does go wrong, they technically have until tomorrow to fix any problems. However, it seems the only concern is if the wire transfer will clear the lawyers account today or tomorrow. Anticlimactic in the end after all 😆.
Update 4:30 pm: Of course the wire transfer didn’t occur. That’s what I get for thinking one thing would go as planned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
As for the 🐜 situation (I dare not write or speak the word in fear of invoking an outbreak 😬) – so far only a few sightings of live ones, upstairs of all places. I’m not even seeing that many carcasses, so I am hopeful they have been contained. Although over the weekend all I thought was “Hmm, I haven’t seen one lately…” when I find one crawling on the wall near my bed. It’s like they are reading my mind 😳. I am keeping the vacuum at the ready, just in case.
On to some better news – the backyard has entered its next phase, as noted in pics above. I like the guy I’m working with because, unlike the last landscaper I worked with, he actually listens to me, and we’ve been modifying the plan as we go. Unfortunately, I’m probably going to seed some of the space because of how the neighbors on either side of me look 🤣🤣. My land guy keeps trying to convince me to sod, but since I refuse to waste money watering that area, seeding it is. Yes, I know I should water the seed as well, but I’m taking a “let’s see how it grows approach” 😁. Plus, I figure if I seed either in the fall or spring, more chance for rain. But as I said before, things may be modified 🤷🏼♀️.
Ending on a happy note, I am going to see a very good friend of mine from high school this weekend and I haven’t seen him since 2012 I think 🤔? A casualty from my last relationship and my depression 😡. I am determined to repair this relationship because I wasn’t just friends with him, I was close to his whole family. The whole lot of them are some of my favorite people in the world. So, I am hopeful we are on the road to recovery 😊.
That’s my day today – I hope yours has as many good things going for it as mine does!
Side Note: How the hell is the end of August already? 🤬 Am I the only one who feels like they are losing days this year?
