Rough Seas - An Omen

The saying "Red Sky In Morning...Sailors Warning" is in reference to a scientifically valid tale about weather patterns. It means that today may bring rough seas.  Well, Sedona is just a little bit land locked but we are in for a front passing through later today. 

In addition, I also am in the middle of "rough sea" negotiations on a contract and this sky just reminded me of that quote connection! 

The Good - The Bad - The Ugly

Many of you may have noticed that I have been absent from AR this past week. A series of good events and some with minor consequence have kept me from getting on this platform I enjoy. 

Sometimes - Everything Hits At Once

Unfortunately, the flu bug was in town. Both my husband and I were inoculated for the latest flu back in October but there are millions of strains.  It started with Tristan, poor baby, he got hit and then his father and some how, my husband got it. Luckily I did not get it! But watching Tristan became a full time job because his mother was in RE training in Phoenix. 

The internet was also a problem both at home and in my office! At some point, you have to scream out YIKES!  

Gang Busters

In the mean time, my business took off fast, just like last year.  I am working three deals and showing property to other serious buyers. A couple of days, I didn't get to bed until midnight. I already have buyers scheduled for mimimum of 4 days next week. I am also working on 3 listings. 

Don't get me wrong.... I rather be super busy than sitting waiting for the phone to ring. It is just my way of saying, I wish I could have spent some time on AR.

Hi Sheri... the first picture is especially stunning! Wow! Meantime, trust you are feeling better... the flu can really knock you out. I stopped getting flu shots decades ago... the sickest I ever was with the flu was the years when I had a shot. I just takes my chances now.

Hi Nina Hollander - Thank you !  As soon as the little one went to pre-school, the germs keep on coming!  We do everything we can to stay germ free but sometimes it gets you...

Sheri, I'm sorry to hear the flu got Tristan, I feel bad when anyone gets the flu but, the little ones really break my heart. I hope everyone is back to 100% soon. In the meantime, keep those deals coming! Better to be working deals than have a ton of free time to spend in the Rain. Try to get your rest though, we don't want you to get the flu too!

Sheri Sperry - MCNE®

Hi Amanda S. Davidson - We took Tristan to the right pediatrician,  He had been going to another clinic.  He is doing much better. Hopefully, the fam has had their bout with being sick this year and I can concentrate on business!  Hope your week is very productive!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about you guys & Tristan - I hope he's feeling better now and back to normal!

I hope your tortuous negotiations landed in your clients' favor! We did miss you but, totally understand the 'busy' factor - and I support it! I totally get those days that you just can't wrap up until midnight and AR is not your next task...sleep is!
