How did I spend my Labor Day weekend?

My Labor Day weekend started on Friday.  No, I didn't go out of town, or had big plan of cooking out, gathering, party, so on and on.......I took my daughter to the doctor because she has some bumps on her back and it was hurting her, not just hurting, it was pain.  You guessed it, it is shingles.  

That same night was rough.......long story short, she is improving bit by bit everyday.  Thanks goodness the medicine is working and it is a long weekend off for het to get the rest she needs.  I hope she will be done with it in just a few more days.  Poor baby, I never saw her cried so many times in one day, the pain was unbearable at times.

I have arranged to have dinner with 2 of my clients last night, as Marie, my daughter was doing better, I decided to go ahead to keep the appointment.  3 of us went to a very nice seafood restaurant, had some wonderful conversation, did a bunch of catch up.  It was sure nice and we had fun.

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon, I showed some houses to a client who I met 3 years ago who relocated to Marion, and decided to rent till they are ready.  He called me a few days ago and said he is ready to buy now.  I worked a few hours this afternoon, and we will continue to see a few more houses this week, I hope we can find something soon while the interest rate is still so low.

This week has been a very interesting and productive week for me.  I got a short sale listing and already showed it to an investor, she is thinking to put an offer on it, we will see how that goes.  I also got a new listing from a lady who I talked to last year and she said she would call me when she is ready to sell.  She called me early this week and wanted me to list her house.  It is a very nice house, I am just waiting for her to do some clean up and I will be ready to put a sign at her yard, and post it everywhere on the Internet.

I also caught up with another old client of 4 years on facebook.  We are friends on facebook for about 2 years, never really talked a lot with each other, but we always send birthday wishes to each other, I also send Christmas card and calender to her every year.  She shared some real personal stories with me this weekend, I was a little shocked but very honored at the same time.  It is always nice to know we are still special to our clients.

My Labor Day weekend is a mix of business and taking care of my family at the same time.  We still have one more day left to start our "normal" week again.  I already have my week scheduled out, I am ready for another week to start.

Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend!
