Rearranging
So at the advice of the new real estate agent we met with, we’ve done some reconfiguring. We’d already moved a number of things down to the basement, but now we’ve done some more. With help from Uncle R. last night, the chairs from Agent Murphy’s room and from our room have gone to the basement. And our loveseat, torn up pretty well by The Dog’s predecessor, was hauled out to the curb. (We’d already decided it wasn’t worth moving the raggedy thing when we go, so when he suggested finding a way to make our living room look more spacious, we decided just to pitch it now.) I made a point of calling the county this morning, as their procedures instruct, to let them know there’s a bulky item at the curb. The woman made a point of telling me it’s a special vehicle that comes for it, as opposed to the regular collection, and that it could take up to 5 days. Well, I just looked out the window and noticed that today’s regular trash collection has come through – and picked up the loveseat. Whatever, it’s gone.
Anyway, after Agent Murphy went to bed last night, Mr. Tldz and I spent some time figuring the best way to arrange our remaining living room furniture. It definitely looks more spacious now, but it feels weird when I walk in there. I guess maybe this is good practice for going to a whole new place. Would really like to sell and get the house we want…
Still have to take the step of “firing” our existing agent so we can list with the other guy. I called her this morning, but had to leave a generic voice mail. I hope she’ll get back to me soon. Maybe she’ll get lucky and this lowball offer will turn into something real based on our counteroffer, but otherwise we’re moving on.
Speaking of moving on… This morning I sent in a wrap up/thank you announcement on the Mend a Heart campaign. And then I let our pastor know that, given our (hopefully) impending move, I’m resigning my position as head of the pro-life committee. Uncle R. has agreed to keep things going at least in the interim until Father decides who he’ll appoint as the next leader. Five and a half years was a pretty good run, and we ended on a successful fundraising campaign for PATH.
