Hmm, taking a few days off doesn’t make the work go away. Today I got up early and went into the office and learned interesting things (including WOW I need to get an iPad, it’s like they were INVENTED for realtors…), then met with the boss briefly, then rushed off to do a quick favor […]

Found this note on the windshield of the Subaru today (the pen is covering the name and phone number): Seriously? How hard is it to find a Subaru wagon for sale in Portland? (Hint: Not so very hard, no.) You’d rather canvass the neighborhood in the rain? In other news: it’s raining.

Drove back to Portland today. It’s nice to be home, yes it is, I keep telling myself that. 🙂 But, well, it’s a bit lonely here. What can I say? I bought a rug in Seattle. I really shouldn’t have–shouldn’t be spending money like that when I’m not making any in real estate yet; I

Well, it’s not full-on sun, but I do see blue sky out there. Thus–technically!–continuing my unbroken streak of bringing sun to Seattle. In fact we’re going out for a walk, in a moment here…so let the sun continue! (Yeah, we’re bringing rain gear too just in case.) Tonight: a fancy dinner out. Last night: a

I sat a different open house today, from the one I’ve been doing before. This one is inhabited, so I didn’t have to bring my folding chair. 🙂 And it went well, though I didn’t get any new contact info from folks. I know this will be slow building. Still, it’s a little hard, to

I spent far too much time today trying to corral two cichlids to take them back to the store. I managed to get one of them…the female, the less-obnoxious one…I never caught the male. Bastard. So I took the female into the store, planning to throw myself on their mercy and ask for help. I’ll

Sort of frustrating day today–I built my schedule around a meeting in the afternoon, but the other person never showed for it…and I couldn’t reach them on phone or email. I still have no idea what happened. At least it was in a nice cafe and I’d brought my computer; but, still. I would have

Feeling fine now, even getting over the tireds. Which is good, because it was a busy day today! Went into the office in the morning, and got some more training, which was interesting; then I hied my way uptown and had a lovely lunch with Ken Scholes. It’s been FAR too long since we’ve gotten

I spent the day doing pretty much nothing, and I’m feeling pretty much better, although completely exhausted. My headache finally faded after a while (I think caffeine really did help), so at least I was able to read. But, man. I’m wiped. Bleh. Busy day tomorrow. I hope I’m up for it. I’m turning in

That wasn’t just exhaustion last night: I was coming down with a Sick. Specifically, a horrid headache and vague tummy upset. I’ve just “slept” 13+ hours (very fitful sleep, conscious of the headache throughout); now I’m up and seeing what caffeine will do. I wasn’t hungry at all, but I tried a small bowl of
