It's only Tuesday? I feel like I have done a week's worth of work in the last two days. John took the day off yesterday and we both worked all day in the yard (I also mowed at the old house) and planted the majority of our garden then made a mother's day dinner for John's step mom, Kathy. Lemon baked chicken with potatoes, carrots and garlic. Yum!
Today was also busy and exhausting. I ran some errands and then I mowed the lawn at out new house. I also found out that the buyers of our old home have been approved for their loan but the lender is requiring that we scrape any loose paint from our wooden garage and re-paint in addition to ripping down the moldy dry wall in the garage. So frustrating! It's a detatched garage. A glorified shed! After talking to my realtor he thought I could knock it out in a couple of hours. Yeah...I worked on one side for over 4 hours and threw in the towel before that side was even done. I feel defeated. It can be so expensive to have a professional scrape and paint wooden siding and yes, I can do it myself but I am afraid that the appraiser will come back and say that it's not good enough and I will have wasted all that time. Yuck. I will figure it out but I'm not happy about it.
Tomorrow I have lunch with a prospective employer and Thursday I meet with my career counselor again to discuss the possibility of working with her and her partners. I'm pooped but I still feel very blessed.
