My phone blew up today and it's your fault, ActiveRain

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Certified Mobile Notary Signing Agent NMLS #268590

I had a tough day yesterday.   I had a deal that took a U-turn and I spent most of the day trying to restructure and rescue it.   I was also a little under the weather and my thumb is still hurting (previous blog).   I came home last night and crashed hoping today would be a better day.

Even before my alarm clock went off, my phone did.   Not just once but over, and over, and over.   After a while, I couldn't ignore it anymore, I had awakened the sleeping giant.   It appears the term "early risers" defines the ActiveRain bunch.   You folks were up and at it this morning.

In this crazy world of real estate, you can have a hard day and feel totally drained when things don't go your way.   You can also get a "pick me up" like I got this morning.   The good wishes of all of the commenters to yesterday's blog post were non stop and have continued to come in throughout the day.

I thank you all !

It isn't always easy to find a topic for discussion in my blog.   Sometimes the difficulty is with finding the motivation to start writing.   Today, neither of those was a problem.   Today, my posting was a no-brainer because, . . . . 

 

My phone blew up today and it's your fault,

ActiveRain

I always enjoy that, the beep, beep as the emails come in and they are fun to read.  But, not when I'm trying to sleep.  I'd recommend, leave the phone away so you can't hear it at night or early morning.

Good recommendation but I have a family member in the hospital and have to keep the phone close

Good for you. As I am not really an early riser my phone only dings once when the first email comes in unless I check and then it dings once again. The support is nice.

The support here is great.  And I wish some of your inspiration would rub off on me.  I have the "can't I still be on vacation" brain going on and can't get focused to write a post.
