recovering

It was a rough week. Hands down.

But I am feeling a bit better today.

Dave finally got someone at the real estate office to email him a copy of the lease, but it's STILL the wrong one (the one from prior to the date being corrected, which the realtor said he did, and and was supposed to have had the tenant initial, etc), and, reading through the lease, seeing it complete for the first time, I saw some information I had never seen before, and which no one ever bothered to mention.

The ex tenant also apparently tore the patio door screen, and the kitchen window screen, and there are "cuts in the kitchen," which I don't even know what that means.

Sigh....if I had known any of that, I would have argued the amount of her refund a bit more.

Whatever.

Dave will call the tenant today and tell him that we were completely unaware until yesterday about the screens,and see if he can get the tenant to describe what is meant by "cuts in the kitchen."

When I moved out of there, the screens were in perfect condition, and the only damage I knew about was a chip in the kitchen counter, over which I left a cutting board for the original tenant, which was to be left in the unit; and some discoloration in the bathroom floor tiles.

Both of those items were like that when I moved in.

Anyway---I am not supposed to be worrying about any of this.

The furnace here at the house was repaired on Thursday, after the first frost of the season Wednesday night. We went out after work Wednesday and bought an inexpensive oil-filled radiant space heater. It worked really well to keep us warm.

Then, right when we got up Thursday, the heat decided to start working. This was okay with us, though, because the rest of the house was FREEZING when we got up! Having the heat decide to work made the morning shower a LOT more comfortable to take!!

We have been getting our errands done on Friday nights lately, and that's been making our weekends a lot more enjoyable. We still have one or two stops to make today, but having done 5 of the stops last night sure makes that sound manageable!

Dave got his haircut this morning, while I started on laundry, and when he gets back, we'll go out and get a couple of other things done.

Happy weekend to everyone!
