This and that

Our builder still hasn't gotten all his paperwork to the banker lady. When DH was on the phone with him Friday he said "I am on my way to the bank right now". Later she emailed and asked if we we sending it or the builder. I replied the builder said he is getting it to you. Yesterday no word. Around 3pm I emailed the banker and asked if she got the stuff from builder and she said not yet. DH texted him and his reply was he tried to call her 2 times on Friday but didn't hear back from her (what happened to you were on your way there?) and now has an appointment with her Tuesday morning. Good grief. We had told him in November we wanted his paperwork done by the end of the year so we could get it to the bank in early January.  Today is Jan 30th. So annoying. I'm sure they are all like that. We did find out that he also recently built this banker a house and shop.....so she must think he does a good job.

I got a nice email from one of our company owners this morning. It said it's rare to get "thank you's" in this business. This is a first from this client after 30 years of interactions. Thanks for your help and follow up on this sample order. $100k order now pending :) and he shared the clients email.

that was nice of him to share the feedback with me (and cc'd my boss). I'm not supposed to have to follow up on the sample and misc orders I place (the sales person is) but I usually do anyway ;)

My neighbor friend across the street walked over last night and brought me a belated birthday gift....a box of nice little frozen individual cheesecakes :) Yummmm! She said she was going to make me a cheesecake (she's a good cook), but she's still been getting over being sick (for a month now, poor lady) so she bought the cheesecakes instead. Very sweet of her. They are the perfect size and I don't feel like I have to eat the whole cheesecake before it goes bad, haha. I think I had mentioned one time that cheesecake is my favorite, so she must have remembered.

FIL is not doing well again. I didn't realize he has COPD (heavy smoker) but he tried to make a dr appt yesterday and they were booked so told him to go to an urgent care place. So, I guess he now has some antibiotics or something. DH was on the phone with him last night. I'm not sure where he went to urgent care but doesn't sound like it was very close to their house. I used to work as a bookkeeper for a physician's group that included an urgent care office. It's like a mile from their house...DH was like why don't you just go there? I guess FIL wasn't even aware of it. Instead he had to drive probably a half hour through lots of traffic, icky parking, etc.  Word of advice.........don't smoke....FIL has COPD and MIL has half a lung removed.

We don't know what SIL is thinking. In trying to get them to move she is looking at houses that cost as much if not more than the house they are in! Plus still a good sized yard to take care of.  She shared a house listing on Facebook with her daughter that "this would be perfect for grandma and grandpa" Um....no it would not! It cost more than their house is worth and yard and it's also old and probably needs lots of upkeep. Like FIL said to DH on the phone........I already have a house - I don't need to move to another one. I think FIL seems to somewhat be thinking about a manuf. home in a park.  He's just wearing himself down to nothing trying to take care of MIL and won't be any good to her, if he keeps getting worse.  Sad.
