The long days and nights of living in the Extended Stay now beginning to wear on me, as we enter week 2. A couple nights ago a construction crew, not going home for the weekend, hung out in the parking lot all night and got tore up. They were loud, and overbearing but mostly harmless, even though they made cat calls at my wife when she returned from the office all dressed up one evening LOL, I didn't say anything. I accused her of liking it.
My new house is nearing completion, and the agent advised we're looking at a walk through early next week. The wood floor is in downstairs, but the carpeting and crown molding is lacking upstairs. The interior still needs another coat of paint, and the stove sits in the dining room, yet to be installed. If they wanna walk through by next week gonna hafta to get in gear.
The "processor" emailed me last week concerning the paperwork on one of the 3 conditons UW asked for concering a inquiry that led to a Chase AARP card. UW wanted to know the details. I sent a copy of the latest statement from the Chase AARP showing a 20.45 balance. The "processor" said I needed to "re execute" that letter reflecting a balance because that was on the credit report.
I called him- "you want me to re execute?" I like that moniker. RE EXECUTE.
"yeah, the balances are not matching"
"well the UW has April's balance, I sent May's."
"Yeah, but fill out the form saying it has 0 balance"
"if you say so." I've reached the point I just go with the flow. Some of this defies explanation. I can advise others in the process, don't try to match wits with them, but go along to get along.
We mostly eat out every night. The Extended Stay has a kitchen thing but it ain't hitting on much, and keeping food in the tiny fridge and cleaning up afterwards just too much trouble. I can tell that Lil Bit misses Primrose even more than me. He use to roam freely over the grounds he was born, chasing chimpmunks, squirrels, and birds. He spent his days patrolling the yard on the lookout for bad guys, and his nights curled on his chair while we watched tv. Unable to go outside and homesick, he mostly stays under the bed, only coming out when I call him.
We visit the new house almost everyday. It is going to be a beautiful home in one of the most coveted communities in the city. We bought here mostly for the location. The meadows, hillsides, and fields behind our home, bring witness to stunning sunsets every evening. Lil bit will like it.
Been shopping alot also. Bought new master bedroom stuff. On primrose I let her do all that kind of stuff, but now I am much more involved and it seems our tastes are not matching in many areas. She came home with the new linen for the master bedroom. She bought all new stuff including the mattress things that costs as much as the furniture, so naturally we had to have new linens. I saw the stuff stacked in the mountain of boxes in the ES.
"So why ya wanna buy camouflaged bed spreads for the master? I'm gonna feel like I'm on safari when I get in bed everynight."
"Hush its not camo"
"yes it is"
"I like it and it was on sale"
That ended that. I hope I can get my say on the rugs for the dining, and den.
The agent tells me closing on 22nd, I hope he's right. Gonna be a long 2 weeks. I reminded him I wanted good snacks at the closing and not those pens they gave out to frugal.
Unless they are running in from work to sign.
