Lost, A Wet Finish
I am on the last day of my last extended weekend. It’s dark, gray, and raining. Monday morning I headed to the title agency I talked to on the phone to get the land transaction started. All I basically had to do was hand them a signed vacant lot sales agreement and fill out a two page form. I was happy to see the buyer wasted no time wiring over the $1000 deposit we agreed upon. Hopefully in two weeks or so I will be rid of one of the two worst investments I ever made.
I had another unexpected small windfall when I got a check from Chase that was a credit on my now paid off auto loan. Because the Vroom deal was moving slowly I made my July payment to make sure my credit was unaffected. Evidently the amount paid by Vroom already included the July amount so I got it back. It feels odd to have a number of financial things work out in my favor, something I am definitely not accustomed to.
My typical luck did return Monday afternoon when I lost my wireless mic transmitter during a ride. Once I realized I lost it I went back out on another wheel and backtracked 9 miles looking for it, unsuccessfully. After editing the video I could identify when I lost it however when I went back a second time and retraced those steps I again struck out. I ordered a new $200 replacement. The video documents the loss.
On Tuesday I tackled a non-list item task just because I knew it needed to be done sooner or later and I had the time to do it. I grabbed the weed whacker and knocked down both sides of the outer perimeter fence as well as the trench towards the back of the property. It’s a tedious, shitty job. After knocking it all down I followed up by spraying the fence line with RoundUp to keep the weeds down, hopefully, for at least a little while.
During the afternoon Katie, Cindy and DJ returned from an appointment to hang out. I was feeling tired and low energy after the fence whacking. Late in the afternoon some bad weather rolled in, dumping inches of rain in a short period of time, instantly flooding the property. The feeling of blah continued the rest of the evening. Today the nasty weather has persisted. I drove through hard rain during my DD and errands run. Today has no serious chores on the docket which is nice but also leads to feelings of laziness and little self worth. In some ways it will feel good to get back into the office tomorrow.
