Pretty clean, Extremely clean, Glamour Shots, Hide and Seek, 30 years

Yesterday morning I met my realtor and building inspector at the new house to go over anything noteworthy from his report.  Luckily anything he came up with was minor and things that I could likely address myself if needed.  It was nice to get a second visit to the place to further reassure that I feel good about my decision to move forward with this purchase.  I think I will be happy there. It took 7 minutes to get there from my office, amazing.

The cleaning crew finished up my house mid-morning.  They had a total of four women busting the work out.  When I got home is it was sort of amazing.  My home has never been so clean.  It makes me much more open to the idea of maybe having them come into my new place once a month to get things sparkling.

During the afternoon the photographer for the realtor was at the house taking a ton of photos in preparation for officially listing the house for sale in a few days.  I occasionally checked in on the Ring camera to see how things were going.  I knew that part of this process would include them rearranging or totally removing things for the pictures to optimize the visual appeal.  What I did not expect was that nothing that was moved or put away would be put back.  I spent a good portion of the evening playing hide and seek, trying to find certain things that were moved or hidden.  I am still hunting for a few things. I am looking forward to seeing how the pictures turn out.

Last night on the way home from work I stopped at Sport Clips to get a fresh skin fade haircut applied.  I had my fourth different stylist, this time a Filipino woman named Sue.  She was very high energy and talkative.  With her accent I had to really try to focus when listening to her.  At one point she asked me if I was married and had kids, I told her I was/did not.  I asked her if she was married, she said she was, for 20 years.  Well that seemed to open the flood gates.  She started telling me all sorts of things.  Not only was she married for 20 years but she is married to man that is 30 years older than her.  When she told me this my only reply was, wow.

She indicated that she was less than thrilled with being married and was looking forward to not being that way.  I asked how old her husband was now, she said he was in his 70’s, meaning she was in her 40’s.  She kept going, telling me how they separated for a few months and she went on three dates via Tinder but did not have a good experience.  It required next to no input from me to keep the flow going.  She told me several times how lucky I was to not be married and how she won’t ever get married again.  It sounded like a blissful relationship, not.  It made for an entertaining hair cut at least.  I’ll be back in another 5-6 weeks.
