The strange thing about being on a regular schedule is I’m not really used to all of the daily noises around me. The chirping birds are screwing with my concentration, the TV is blaring in the background with what I consider to be the stupidest show on television and Bella is even more insistent about being right under my legs than normal.
Princess doesn’t seem to be acting right, she’s limping a bit more than usual and is kind of hanging out under the dining room table instead of sleeping in her own bed. I’m sure she’s upset over the fact that she’s no longer allowed on the couch but I don’t think that has anything to do with her limping either.
It’s been a pretty fruitful day, I’m working on the $150 mark with paid-posting so that’s covered. A few clients paid me as well so it’s nice to see a few hundred sitting in Paypal at the moment. Thankfully it’s mine to spend because all other bills have already been budgeted out. I’m just going to shoot it into savings though, we really do need to buy a new bed sometime in the next month (at the absolute latest) my back has come close to going out on me completely and I’m sure sleeping on three inches of foam that’s directly on the floor isn’t helping me very much either.
Sean and I are currently looking around Remax and Centry21 for a house. I don’t know how it happened but we’ve kind of settled on Ohio. I’m not too keen on being that far away from New York but he assured me that I’d probably like it there. His brother lives in the North Lima area, so I think we’re looking around there. I found a huge 4 bedroom 4050sqft for like $55,000 which is also on 3 acres of land, something seems fishy about it but figure if I’m looking to get a loan in the $175,000 range – I’m sure we could knock down the old house and just build another one on the property.
We’ve been looking into manufactured homes and I found one that looks fairly traditional but I also know that there’s a solid company backing it. We’re looking into Palm Harbor, and I found a model named Katherine. It’s 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and about 2,368sqft. I know that’s a lot smaller than the house that’s on the property but you’re factoring in that only two people and a 15 pound dog are going to live there and I’d prefer to live in something where all of the pipes are new and in the future when adding an addition to the house, there’s the ability to cut into a wall without worrying about the entire foundation coming down on that side – you know? The house that’s on the property now is about 120 years old, you can’t really upgrade that style of a home without running into some problems. I figure knocking it down and starting fresh would be more than fair.
It’s nice when some or your clients pay you. Most times, you have to phone or send an email to remind them that they have a debt with you. With money in your pocket, you can dream of buying a house, or whatever any other thing you have in mind.
