Morning, peeps. We’ve finally got some sunlight happening over here. I’ve got a cat in my lap, a cup of tea beside me. Happy Thursday, everyone.
My mini-shopping went ok yesterday. I picked up some Impossible burgers. They were actually $3 cheaper than the actual meat this week. I also grabbed some more cereal, and milk.
I had planned to finish up Bridgerton yesterday when I finished chores and lunch. The news broke into the regular TV programming to certify the vote, and I wanted to see what happened with the objections. I texted Shawshank updates as the shit hit the fan. We made jokes about how a bunch of crazies were storming the Capitol; “next you’ll tell me the Capitol has been breached”, he said. And then it was, and I sent him pictures of the TV broadcast. I didn’t move off my little seat all day.
I talked with our agent about the work estimates to make things ok with the FHA lending people. The major things turned out to be much less than expected, if I’m remembering correctly. It will probably end up being done right before the closing and the repair bill will be paid out of the sale.
The minor things, like the peeling paint and missing handrails, will be handled this weekend. The money for that’s coming out of the buyer’s pocket to make sure she can get the mortgage in the first place. The buyer’s agent tried to say we’d reimburse them if they did the repairs and the sale fell through. Our agent told her to pound sand, we told y’all didn’t want to deal with FHA restrictions and requirements in the first place.
Once Shawshank goes to work, I’ll head upstairs to do my workout. I don’t have any plans to leave the house today, just do the workout. I might not go as hard as I planned. With people coming in on Saturday morning, I might not have the opportunity to keep with my planned every other day schedule.
