Three Days
I could tell stories about this boss, but you wouldn't believe me. I'm just going to close the door on bad management and hope that I don't have a similar experience anytime soon.
Today seemed forever long. Work was a drag and full of junior high-ish nonsense. Got home late, after my dear friend was already long waiting outside my door with dinner and the painting dude was already here to spackle and repair holes (have I mentioned how many pictures I hang?) They waited patiently for me, however, and joined me when I finally arrived. The plumber came a bit later and declared my disposal unfixable. For another $200, however, we found it to be replaceable, and hopefully have put aside any reason to complain by the potential buyers. The HVAC guy comes in the morning to give me his proclamation on the complaint the buyer's inspector had. Hopefully it's a simple fix and we'll be on our way.
I didn't pack. I'm plum out of boxes and no one that I called had any to give away. They said I could pick up some tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get that squared away. I don't need many, but I do need some.
I wrote a couple checks and mailed off a couple change of address and cancel accounts letters. I need to do more of that tomorrow. I'm quickly losing track of the things I would normally be doing at this time and hate to forget a bill that's due.
For now, however, Eli is already curled up beside me and Jonah is on the table next to the bed. I think we're all ready for some much needed sleep. Eating a real dinner tonight (albeit cold take-out) was so foreign that my stomach is doing flips. Or maybe that's just nerves. I only put the house on the market 18 days ago. In three days we leave it all behind.
