Well, as you read this, I’m getting ready to submit another offer on another home. Last Friday, shortly after posting my piece on waiting, the wait was over. We accepted an offer on the condo and sold. That left us homeless, so we’ve been in a mad rush to find a new place.
We had [...]

I’m sitting here waiting for the 2nd showing of the day on the condo. Another one to go after that today. Not a bad thing, but a bit nerve-wracking. We’re up to 6 showings, which means that we’re getting close, I hope, but each one is scary and exciting and takes a bit out of [...]

Ugh, this is my 3rd snow day this week. I’ve worked exactly 1 day in a week. Sigh. I do like to work more than this. To make it worse, I am here by myself, so it gets rather dull after a while. I’ve got the house clean, even more so since the house is [...]

After all of the commotion in the past month (sister with a stroke, staging and putting the house on the market, and more), I’ve declared February to be me month. Don’t bother to look on the calendar. It’s not there. They’ll still tell you that Tuesday was Groundhog’s Day and this is black history month. [...]

Wow, what a difference a week makes! We had 2 birthdays, a snow day and a few more things going on.

On top of all that, our future realtor called to say that she had some people who wanted to see our place 4 days before we were listing it. Needless to say, all of the [...]

I took off Tuesday and spent the day with my sister. She actually slept most of the day. I read books and played on the computer. Quiet day indeed. She got up and we had lunch together. For me it was a wonderful experience, getting to spend two hours with Lisa, as Lisa. She tired [...]

For those of you who have been following on Facebook, you know that my sister (who is younger than me) had a stroke last week. It was asymptomatic, which means no neurological issues arose from it. So there is no sign of speech, sense or motor problems. However, it was a huge medical scare for [...]

Today is our 3rd snow day this week. Needless to say, I haven’t been able to get back in the swing of things from our winter break yet. It’s a bit hard when we stay home more than we go. However, after today there’s no snow in our forecast for weeks, so I expect life [...]

I’m not making any New Year’s resolutions this year. It’s the start of a new decade, and I’m glad of that. I’m not one to normally wish for the past, and this decade is no different. I’m looking forward to the future.
One reason that I’m not making any resolutions this year is because I’ve [...]

Today starts 16 glorious days off! I’m off from today until January 4th, when I’ll return to the classroom. I’m exhausted at the moment. Too much to do and too many things to think about. Most of the time over break, excluding the holidays of course, will be dedicated to working on the biography. I [...]
