After all of the business of the last two days, today seemed rather quiet. Debbie and I exchanged only one (non-business) email today. The house is sitting quietly and waiting. Debbie says that waiting is the key ingredient to short sales...
I did drive to Asbury Park today...I'm starting to learn my way there without the aid of the Tom Tom, and I even found a quick back way out of Asbury Park, as the normal way out involves a left turn onto a rather busy street.
Why did I go there? Because a lady that I used to work with once told me that her mother had told her to never buy a house facing east or west; always buy a house that faces north or south. Which direction does Asbury Park face? I didn't know...But I found out...South...Thank you Jesus! (If you haven't figured out all of the gibberish, it is because east and west facing house receive more hot sun. Of course being a corner lot, Asbury Park still has a side (west) exposed to the sun. Fortunately, this side has very little window coverage and shade trees to help block the sun.
With nothing else left to do...I went shopping. Only for odds and ends for my temporary quarters at Todd's house; although I did find a stunning black lacquered corner table, with oriental style painting on it...I bought it! I also found a very nice sofa...Maybe for Asbury Park?...We will wait a bit longer to see if we get the house...maybe.
And just for those of you who think that I should be concentrating on more important things...like looking for a job...I did go on line to Idaho Department of Labor and register and look for a job...So there!
To complete my day, I took a long walk all the way around the park. Don't know the distance, but it seemed quite long!..I used to walk quite a bit (on my lunch hour) and haven't been able to do much walking for the past year plus...I noticed this morning that my tummy is beginning to hang (just a teeny tiny bit) over my belt...Not a pretty sight!
Todd and Victor should be home soon, so I am going to post this and go see What's for Dinner!
