Last 2 Days a Blur
The last few days have been a whirlwind. The real estate person I talked to initially, gave me another call and I had told her before, I needed her to come over and look at things and give me some ideas on how much she thought to list it for. She knows our situation, so didn't really bother to give me ideas on things to do to make it more valuable, which would require more time and energy from me. Well she came and looked and I thought it was going to be just that, but somehow I got a 'what the heck' attitude, this has to be done, and signed all the papers and it's on the market! Realizing it is the 'last minute' now, I worked there yesterday, for about 3 hours, while Bob napped. Then went back when he went to bed at night, leaving here at 12:30am and home at 4:30am. Mostly painting and finishing a wall repair. hmmmmmm..... that paint I had color matched, isn't so much matched.... grrrrr....
Today, Friday, I went back for 7 hours and mopped the very large kitchen, craft room & sm. bathroom; and painted and put up clean curtains and drug home feeling like my body had been hit by a car - sore pinching pain everywhere. BUT! Friday was Bob's 1st stroke anniversary, and for the occasion, he got a For Sale sign in the other houses yard! I had wanted to go back tonight, while he slept and shampoo some carpet, but decided it would be too hard on my body - shame though, because I have the adrenaline from the house going for sale, and so lots of energy going to waste.
Usually, when people go look at a house, it is PERFECT, nothing out of place. Unfortunately, it is not so here. There are weird things sitting around that still have to be removed from the house. I have done some more of that in the last few days, and will continue, trying to look less weird as people may be coming to view it.
