A Long Week

This last week has been a tough one. It has been a roller coaster of emotions to say the least.

When I put the 2nd offer on one of the houses I thought my realtor's email said my offer was the best they had received...well I miss understood the email. Needless to say my offer came n 2nd..this just added the emotional roller coaster.. For the last week I pretty much was thinking the house was mine just to find out I was wrong. The other people have until today (Tuesday) to accept the banks offer or reject it. Of course I hoping they reject it. Even if they accept it things could still happen, like the loan could fall through. I am keeping my fingers something will happen. I still haven't heard on the other house. My realtor hasn't been able to get much of an answer from other realtor but some of that can be just that the bank that has to approve the short sale is just dragging their feet. In the mean time I continue to look. I found another house last week, it just happens to be blocks from my sister. The only problem currently there are tenants in the house and they are being difficult about getting into to look at the inside. Maybe it is a sign that I will get an answer on one of the houses soon! I can only hope...

This past Thursday was one year since my dad passed away. It was a difficult day. All week I was working on no more than 5 hours of sleep. Thursday after I got off work I went by the cemetery and spent some time out there. Wednesday night I had gotten a hold of one of the Deputy's my dad worked with to find out where in Mtn House was the tree that was dedicated to him. So after the cemetery I took a drive out there. He warned me that the tree was dead but they had another tree waiting next to it to replace it. I still need to call and find out when they are going to do that. My mom wants to go out there and I want to try to postpone that until they get the tree planted so she doesn't have to see it. Plus I need to find out if they are still putting a plaque out there. There isn't one now and the Deputy thought there was going to be one but he hadn't heard any updates.

Saturday I went a retirement dinner for several people at work. There were quite a few people there that I hadn't seen in awhile so that was nice.

Sunday was a day of nothing. Well, I did go see a friend’s softball game but other than that I did nothing. I felt kind of guilty but it was nice not to have anything to do..

My ankle seems to be doing better. I haven't worn the brace in about a week. I haven't tried running or walking on tredmill yet but it sure feels better. Guess no more excuses..time to get back to the gym...

I hope this week brings some good news on one of the houses!!
