There were storms in my area on Friday. Check out this local FB post that was shared over 700 times. I wasn't at home, but Donald and my pets were home when the top of tree that fell in our neighbor's yard landed on our house. Somewhere on that left side of the house is our air conditioning unit.  Limbs were wedged down in the fan and preventing it from turning.  I climbed in that mess and cut and pulled them out, then my Donald cleared a little more from around the unit to give it clearance to run.  It's Monday and we can't clean it up until the insurance adjuster comes and goes.  He was supposed to come today. He didn't.  Can you sense that I'm not happy about that? I bet the insurance adjuster could in my email this evening when I got home and asked Donald what he said and found out he didn't come.

Today is also my daughter's birthday. She had class and work so I'm not getting to see her.  I did get to talk to her briefly in the middle of work melt down. Or maybe it was between work melt downs. This semester and her work schedule have her very very tired. So say a little prayer for her to make it through the next 4 weeks.  Working 12 hour shifts and taking a half hour nap and going to class most of the day and taking another half hour nap and going back for another 12 hour shift is tough. This is her long week.  work 2 days, off 2 days, work 3 days.  Class for 5 days.  Long long week.

My Donald got hearing aids today.  Both ears.  I hope they help, but his high frequency hearing loss comes from an incident in the Army and is "profound" and I doubt there is much help for that.  And noise in the back ground makes it even tougher for him.  We're hopeful that they will help, but I guess time will tell. 

Don't you hate when you get "chatter" about an offer.  I had two agents call me in the last few days to tell me they were "writing an offer" Sure am glad I didn't call the sellers because I haven't seen an offer. I'm not sure why agents tell you that and then don't write an offer.  

I also found the top out of a big tree at my office today, thankfully it just landed in the woods off the back porch. Had it fallen in the other direction it would have hit the porch. A lot of my community was without power for more than a day.  My office put out an offer for people to come and get water for free and to charge their electronic devices. At times when I've been in need before this community has given to me. I will always choose to give back when I can.

So how were your last few days?

Endre Barath, Jr. oh me too

Joe Petrowsky yes it could have been worse. Even the roof that flew through traffic on that facebook post didn't hurt anyone.

Sharon Lee I just got an email from her saying "wake me up for my test please" so about about 9:50 I have will to call several times until she gets up.

Lisa Von Domek I am so ready to get the repairs done and we can't touch it yet. Irksome

Beth Atalay oh I know that sometimes buyers say so and then change their mind. We had a buyer by recently that thought they were ready until they saw the CMA.

Wayne Martin I will have an occassional cocktail with dinner, but definately didn't have any Dewers. LOL  It was a pizza night though.  I didn't have what it takes to cook last night.

It's been a weird week for sure.  Best wishes for your girl on her birthday!  I remember those days of working full time or more and keeping a full class load.  She has my sympathies, it will all be worth it in the end!

I got 3 calls yesterday about those offers coming and still haven't seen them. I guess I shouldn't hold my breath. Have a good week Tammy.

I was just commenting yesterday...there seems to be more storms and more intense destruction lately... or is it we are all more connected to each other?

Gita Bantwal I hope the insurance guy comes today.

Jenna Dixon I just woke her up after a long 3 hour nap for a test.  At least this isn't lab day and she might get a second nap in. She's a tough kid, but this semester both work and micro biology are kicking her butt

Debbie Reynolds I don't make that call and I don't mention it to sellers.

Steve Loynd I'm going for more storms.  My dad is 75 and he's lived here his entire life.  One tornado in his first 50 years.  A dozen in the next 25. But we too are also more connected and know what's happening to our friends and it does seem overwhelming from time to time cause we know a LOT of people. LOL  Hope you are doing well.  Think you need to put that photo I saw the other day on FB as your new profile photo.  Beautiful.  Saw a bear in a neighborhood on the news this morning.  Make me think of you, then here you are commenting.

Good morning Tammy, at least I hope it is. What a few days you've had. I'm so sorry about the trees and the insurance agent and everything that flows from that. I hope Donald gets some help from the hearing aids too. Compared to your week, mine is a breeze. My off daysare spent with technicians trying to fix my electronics, but all in all I'm good.

You revealed the true essence of yourself within that last paragraph, Tammy Lankford, and who you are is one very thoughtful kind caring person.  I knew that of course, but your offer to your friends and neighbors only cemented my impression of you ...

Glad you are all safe and well,

Gene

A few agents in our office have gotten those new hearing aids and have had some great results. I hope they work out for him. I also agree about the "chatter" that drive me nuts. I told my client I wasn't telling her any more as she was the jinx. LOL
