Hi Melinda,
Well, the plumbers are gone for the day now but will be back tomorrow. I was really hoping to have a break for at least one day but I guess it's not happening. I'm not used to so many people coming at me. It's exhausting. As I said to a friend of mine 'I've haven't had so many men come through my door in years'. Lol! As for the old electricians, they never did give me an invoice for the last time they were here. They're lucky they didn't or the doo doo would hit the fan. I can't believe how badly they messed up. That could be why the owner of the company suddenly stopped answering my calls, his boys messed up so badly. Like the old contractor, he was a friend of Len's. Great guys.
Stan's new friend sounds like he's more bearable than the other guy. At least so far he isn't stressing you out so much.
It's funny, when you mention relationships I must admit that I am torn. I have thought about meeting someone new, even if it's just to go out for coffee, but I'm really not sure. It gets so very lonely being on my own and I do in many ways miss the male companionship. Then like yesterday when I was playing tug a war with the contractor about my shower stall and he was trying to force me into something I didn't want, I got annoyed and mentally told myself that I didn't need someone around to take charge of things. I guess time will tell. I think if I had a group of girlfriends to go out and do things with, I might never want to get into another relationship. Who knows. I'm in no hurry and will wait until we get out of this house and I'm able to relax a bit. My realtor called today and I told her that our time frame had been blown and how disasterous this who ensuite idea was. She felt bad. I also told her that I wasn't satisfied with the number she came up with for my property and that we'd have to sit back down and talk some more about it. She said it had to be an amount that I am comfortable with so I will keep on looking at the housing prices in my area or get a free estimate from another realtor that works this area. So many things to think about. That's when I do miss having someone as a sounding board to help me figure out if I'm making the best decisions.I just sit back, close my eyes, and ask Len what he thinks.Sometimes I feel like I get answers.
Time to take a little break then get back out into the sunshine and work on my yard. Hope you're having a great day!
Hugs,
Tracie
