High - Making great progress on the room preparations and curriculum for our home school, which we are starting this fall for our DS who is 5.
Low - More of an annoyance. Our AMEX had fraud on it - today actually. The cards are cancelled and we're waiting for new ones. AMEX contacted us for an out of pattern transaction.
Low: I've been in and out of the office all week facilitating job family meetings. I really enjoy them, but being gone is hard. I feel like I never truly catch up when I'm that far behind.
High of the week: scoring a case of free beer.
Low: sluggish Friday because of said beer.
He thinks our house is great and we feel the same. However we bought our house prior to 2010, goodbye house value. He ran all the comps of what has sold and what's on the market. After reviewing and crunching the numbers, we've decided to stay put for another year. We'll meet with him again in the spring to run numbers again. Bonus that he's going to help us figure out our property line issue, which pretty much means we move our fence or offer $ for an extra 5 to 10 feet of property (we don't want to move the fence/landscaping). He is working on getting us a good survey rate and offered to handle the paper work and title stuff at no cost.
Low-I did something super dumb this morning. We are going to a concert festival this weekend, and I couldn't find my email to print the tickets anywhere, nor could I find a record of the CC transaction. We assumed I somehow screwed up the purchase, and I bought a pair of tickets on StubHub. Once we got out here, I was reminded that a friend bought our tickets back in December and we wrote him a check to pay for them. I am a HUGE idiot. So, so dumb. Hoping to recoup a little money selling the second set at a loss.
Low- I spent $100 on new shorts that actually fit. Being a size 10 while wearing size 6 is unflattering and honestly painful. It was needed but not budgeted and I could have held off.
Love: March 2010 Marriage: July 2013 Debt Free: October 2014 TTC: May 2015
High - My very first real estate investment (non owner-occupied) passed through underwriting and is still going smoothly. I should hopefully close within two weeks.
Low - My tenants who live on the other side of my duplex gave their 30-day notice. I am SUPER, super bummed out about it. It's just coming at an extra bad time because they'll be leaving right as I'm just start my reno for house above
. I find doing showings to be the most stressful part of being a landlady. I just hate the uncertainty of it all.
High- I went two showers this weekend one for a wedding and one for a baby, I just love seeing my friends so happy and excited to start new journeys with their lives. I also got to spend one on one time with my dad which rarely happens Friday so I was very excited to do that.
Low- I live in MD and during all the terrible rain we got our basement flooded, so we had about an inch of water in it. Thankfully it was the unfinished side, but H was out of town as well at a bachelor party so I was left to deal with it on my own. Very frustrating.
