I hope I am not getting sick

 

I have had a sore throat since Wednesday afternoon.  I had a cough that started just before my Dermatology app0intment on Wednesday.  I told a few people that this has happened but I blame allergies.  I have taken stuff for it but not sure it’s helping.  I really think it’s from the dust and cleaning and the stress.  I don’t want to go to the Doctors for this.

So Saturday was the day the photographer was to come and takes the marketing pictures of the house.  Instead it was Cheryl.  It saves money on closing costs.  She toured the house and she filled out the papers and description and when Jim came in the afternoon gave it to him to give to the lawyer to sign.   I couldn’t sign them.  Liz had hoped to be here by 8 but didn’t get here until sometime after 8:30.  Since Tuesday I have cleaned each upstairs room.  I will have to vacuum my bedroom soon.  I managed to get the winter wear accessories put away. 

Thinking the photographer was coming I put the titans in the crates early yesterday.  When Liz came she told me that Cheryl would do it. So I let them out.   They were in a good four hours.  This will be a fact of life from now and until I find a condo.  I will have to take them with me during the open houses and visits.  The one good thing is there is a request to have 24 hour notice.

He who will not be named was supposed to come to the house yesterday to meet with Jim.  I told Jim via text that if the lawyer arrived first he would wait outside until Jim arrived.  Jim reminded me that it’s confrontational.  That Lawyer has the deed to the house and he could come in (I do have rights too).  Jim said he would call him when he arrived. 

None of that happened.  When Jim arrived and after he asked Cheryl about the process he called the SOB to let him know he was in town.   The asshole asked him if he could come Sunday.  WTF?  I thought that was so rude and inappropriate.  It turns out that his wife needed the car.  Too Fucking bad!  You knew the meeting was today and that my brother had plans for Sunday.   Are we are supposed to drop our plans to be summoned by you?  They did make arrangements to meet at his place in town.  

Jim and I had lunch while Liz and Andrea worked on part of the kitchen.   I gave Jim a tour of the place from top to bottom.  He then got his stuff that we gathered for him and put it in the car.  He then took off for the meeting.

Jim called me and Liz around 4 and gave us some highlights.  He didn’t sign the papers yet he has to read them over first and will get them to Cheryl or Liz.  They discussed certain subjects like the moving costs.   He isn’t being unreasonable on the moving expenses and stuff like that.   There was so much more that was discussed and I am not sure I understand it all yet.   Jim said he would send a text later with more detail.    He did say how surprised he was at how frail Bob looked.  He asked me when the last time I saw him.  I knew he was walking with ski poles.  It doesn’t faze me.  Personally I have seen him not walk with those too. 

Liz and Andrea managed to get the cabinets around the stove emptied out and put a few things in them.  The rest are boxed up.  There are a few things on the book shelves near the stove.   The rest of the cabinets that have dishes and silverware and things above the refrigerator still need to be done.  That will be done later today.  Liz wants to do some stuff at her house and then will come here and hopefully finish the kitchen today.  My hope was if we finished yesterday then the rest of the weekend would be relaxing and getting back to a normal routine.

Liz hired her cleaning lady to do my house.  It will cost about $250.  She is coming tomorrow and Liz will be here for that.  I have to make a trip to the bank for that this afternoon.
