Well it's been gloomy most of the day until a few minutes ago when the sun showed itself.. 🌞🌺

I've had another lazy day.. did a few small things in the garden and a little bit of weeding.

Ordered some things online to come tomorrow.

Had some Tempura Prawns for lunch

It's a pity this week has been so dull weather-wise because it's usually the time I would take to drive out somewhere nice, before next week's school holidays and all prices rise, and places are booked up with families.. I'll have to hope the week after they return to work and school will have sunnier weather

@HoneyNut, please remember that YOU are in the driver's seat here. If you don't get an offer for the price you think YOUR house can fetch, you have the right to keep the listing open until you do.

Thank you for the encouragement, I need it, the realtor is telling me what a great deal my neighbor is offering, that he could buy the house for 10k over the asking price and then let me rent it for 6 months at $2400 a month! How does anyone think that would be a good deal, the house is paid off so I could just not sell and live here for 6 more months if I wanted to without having to pay any rent. I feel like the realtor likes my neighbor. But some other agent is bringing someone to look at the house in an hour so I better log off and throw the dirty dishes in the dish washer. I'm feeling unprepared because showings were supposed to start tomorrow so not sure how the started today.

That indicates the demand. People are pushing the realtors.

It isn’t. It’s a pretty weird suggestion. You could also sell with a possession date in 6 months. The realtor is only finagling for himself and your neighbour.

Always remember that the extra dollars the sale may bring only mean a bit more for him. He‘ll be looking out for number one - himself.
 

I've done some household chores and will be going out shortly to run some errands. The sun is finally out even though it's chilly. The past three or four days have been cloudy and just plain cold.

I had to make an appt. for early next week to have my beloved cat, Marianne, put down. =( It's tearing me up but it's gotta be done... she's pushing 20 and has got to the point where she's not eating (except maybe a bite or two a day), not grooming herself, sleeping most of each 24 hours .... I don't want to wait til her kidney start shutting down. So I will drive to my home next Monday evening, have time with her until the appt at 2:30 on Tuesday. Please say a prayer for me...

My heart goes out to you. 😢. When Opie was sick, we should have put him down. Once in a while he would show signs of getting better, and this gave us hope. Unfortunately, he did not get better....and he suffered horribly.

You need to do what is best for Marianne....even though it hurts so bad! 💔 Enjoy the time left...and have happy memories.

When it comes to business, the only person on your side is you! Anyone & everyone else just wants to get as much moneyas they can, while doing the least amount of work! You know what is right for you....follow your instincts!

I had some time to kill before I went to deliver meals. I thought I'd get the boxes of Christmas items out of the garage where I had hurredly shoved them last fall when moving. I carried them to the cellar to make room for the upcoming community-wide garage sale (nobody's going to but Christmas stuff this time of year, I can't even sell it in November!). I had the boxes covered, but when I pulled the cover off of one box, the was a HUGE mouse (about 4" long not including tail) right there on top. Didn't seem to be the least afraid. I started at it and it stared at me. I put the box out on the lawn hoping it would scurry away. A few minutes later I checked and didn't see it, so I dumped the box out to make sure. Apparently it has been living in there a while and had chewed up some things to make a nest. I had a big bag of damaged things to put in the trash. :cry:

Our old cat was 21 when we had to have her put down. A year earlier I discovered she was totally deaf, but she still enjoyed her life. She became very frail weighed almost nothing, then when she stopped eating entirely we knew it was time, Heart breaking as it is! I would suggest though if your vet has a bereavement refuse it. Act like it is just a normal vets visit. She was a cat who was always content to sit on my lap, even in a vets waiting room. We drove across country back to BC with that cat on my lap, we never had to use a cat carrier with her. So they put us in the bereavement room, and she could smell fear and death in that room and she became afraid and paced around the room. Never again!

As far as I know, mice are not 4 inches long...but rats are!!!! Be careful!
 
Oh, my. After catching up I'm so bummed for all of you having bad days, sad news, trials and tribulations🥀. Here's a heartfelt hug for each of you 🤗

Supervisor won't be back until next Wednesday. Needless to say, co-worker and I are bushed.

It's been sunny and nice here. I've done some weeding (to make way for new weeds, of course) and even mowed the lawn again today. Dang! That grass grows like, well, like weeds!

@Trila, love the video of Andy Cat❤️ Maggie would be no match for him. She's very sedentary because of her disability and can't run and jump. Poor kitty.

Thanks for the tip, @mrstime
 
I went down to the laundry room and washed clothes. When I'm down there, I disinfect everything I and my laundry bags will touch. Came back up, disinfected said laundry bags. After I brought the clothes back upstairs, I showered, did my ritual washing and made two prayers, the nighttime and before sunrise prayers. Then I cleaned the bathroom. I did all of that before 5:15 a.m. Later on I dried my clothes and put away some of what I washed the other day as well as most of what I washed today...bath linen and light colored clothes. I cleaned up the kitchen and made mini naan bread-broccoli pizzas for my son and me, at his request, after he got home.
