When you're sad and blue
And you got the flu
Rest, recuperate.....
......... and get a new client.

So....what do you folks do when you're sick? Since my husband & I awoke Thursday morning we've been feeling icky. Yeah, the flu. Gary's is compounded with congestion.
I'm one of those people that refuses to lay down all day. So on Thursday I blogged as much as I could and then the rest of the afternoon we were in bed. Then I did a few emails and such and went back to bed.
Yesterday, I managed to get some work done and wouldn't ya know. I still had a CE class to do and found that it was online so that's what I did. Completed my last CE course and ready to renew my license in December. And then, I took my temperature. I had a 95.7 "temp". Wonder if it's from cheating and tellling my son that we were sick and to PLEASE bring us milkshakes. Being the good boy...he drove over. BAD SALLY. High blood sugar.....but I deserved it!
Today. Gary had appointments to drop off his car and the chiropractor. Okay, we do all that and by time I am putting the key into my mailbox I am totally not feeling good. I get out of the car and someone says, "HI THERE"! I turn around and the gentleman asks me if I'm buying or selling. I told him I was a Realtor® and then he asked again. "buying or selling?" while pointing at my decal on my back windshield. I said both. He said, "Good, I'm looking to buy".
We talked a few minutes and he explained he just Relocated to Hawaii with the military. Well, I always have a mouthful as a former military dependent myself. I jotted down his info and told him I'd call him in a few minutes. After directing him to speak with a local lender to start with......He's now pre-qualified for a VA loan, already set him up with auto listings according to his criteria and price range and I'll be making appointments for Wednesday morning.
Oh, and I did explain that the reason I was blabbing away while breaking out in a sweat was because I am getting over the flu. (just in case I wasn't acting 'normal')
So, when you're sad and blue.....from the flu....get a client.
* And the moral to this story? I just put that sticker decal thingy on last month and this is the first person that approached me because of it :) ....oh! And I blog and take CE classes when I'm sick.
Sally, great story. Congrats on the new client. Hope you feel better soon. Being sick is no fun at all. Wish you were coming to San Francisco this coming week, but I'll send you a postcard.
