My Day Off-Out of OFF-ice

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Acres

On my day out of the office, some could assume I am having a day off! So, I'll tell you about my day off!marilyn

I start my day off by checking my email, since I may not see it again throughout the day.

I meet clients at 9:00 AM and show three waterfront homes/cottages.

Next, I hook up with three of my favorite girls! We go to the post office and insurance company among other stops, including the ATM.

waters edgeNext we go by a cottage that's going to be closing tomorrow and read the lp gas meter. I call the lp supplier and give them the reading so they can compute the dollar amount.

swedeI can't even remember where all we stop in Gladwin, but we miss the Secretary of State by minutes; I thought their lunch was 1:00 - 2:00, but it's 12:30 to 1:30 and we're at the door at 12:34 PM, so I'll try to get back there late today or tomorrow....

We stop at Buckeye Market East of Gladwin. Great place to buy flowers and vegetables for planting, they also have a great selection of fruit and produce for eating!!!!

Next we drop by my office ...... That took awhile! Good thing my girls are patient!

By now, my daughter is ready to go home...., so we take her home and take a lunch break. That was a nice little break! swede

Next we go by a couple of lakeshore listings to get new pictures. When we are almost done, it's late afternoon, I look at my phone, by now I have made, missed and answered over 30 phone calls on my cell phone!!

Finally, thrilled to be home, I weed and rake in the garden!!!! Next thing I know it's about 8:00 PM - I am tired! Wow! I really enjoyed my day off! I can't wait for the next one!!!!!!  On a serious note, I really do take days off, really off!!!    A day in the life .......  One day at a time .........lakeshore 

You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.

I though you would be kicking it by the pool with a couple margaritas.  I guess not!  It sounds to me, although you were busy you still had a good day after all.
