Sunday and Monday were pretty much sick days for me. A sore throat and coughing, especially on Sunday. Yesterday was mostly just the throat. I ended using a sick day and just resting up again, as I did on Sunday. I am feeling better this morning, but still just so tired. I'm sure it's just from all the stress. I'm thinking maybe I should try taking some vitamins. Probably couldn't hurt anyway.
Yesterday's work at the property was the septic tank got set and hooked up. DH has been trying to get our old electrician's widow to get him all the parts that our still in the van, for our job, but that doesn't seem like it might happen. He had a good phone conversation with her last week where he offered, if she could get him all the parts, then we'll just pay the rest of her husbands bid in full (he had billed us for 80% so far). We also emailed her a list of the parts. But he told her he needed the parts by Sunday. Then Sunday she's texting him, maybe Monday evening? DH told her that's too late. The electrician is coming Tuesday morning and we need to know what we have and don't have. So, it sounds like our new electrician will show up today, get the list from DH, do all the work he can and bring the parts Wednesday, himself.
The guy doing the garage doors didn't show up yesterday to finish installing the door openers.
Yesterday afternoon, I started packing some of our house stuff. Packed away any and all clothes that I do not wear on a regular basis (or at all). Since we'll only have our big dresser, and no closet to hang our clothes, I also cleaned our my drawers to down to the minimum, so I'd have room to put all my t-shirt and shirts that I wear regularly in one of the drawers. I think I got it all in there now. I also packed a box of all the dvds and some books underneath our tv cabinet, as well as a box of all my fake greenery stuff. My hangers in my closet are basically empty and this will give me a couple of weeks to see how it works, with all my clothes in the dresser. (not that I really have a choice in the matter, LOL). This afternoon I will work on packing linens. We will be using our queen guest bed to sleep on, so I'll just pack our king sized stuff. I'm still going to use our king sized blankets and duvet - I know we're going to need our king sized electric blanket! I'll just make it fit.
I know you have so much to do, but could you squeeze in a little more down time?
ReplyDeleteTake care, Monica
I try as much as I can. I'm glad I took Monday as a sick day so I could just rest more. It helped some.
DeleteI am quite sure the woman has a major crisis on her hands. Hopefully, everything with smooth our for you and her soon.
ReplyDeleteyes, I'm sure she does. DH and the new electrician were able to go get the parts from her yesterday during the day, so it all worked out.
DeletePacking and unpacking... Sigh.. It is a lot of work on top of frustration over delayed work. Wishing you lots and lots of patience and strength. Vitamins sound good. I get very sick every year around this time according to my doctor's records so, this year I am prepared by taking vitamins and immune system helpers.
ReplyDeleteSo much work. I rarely get sick, so I'm sure it's just the stress shooting down my immune system.
