Cough, Hack, Weeze

13131722-illustration-of-a-sick-girlI have been sick with a bad cold since last Monday. I had taken the day off to get caught up in stuff I had let go in favour of using my time for getting the condo ready for selling but it appears that that day, my body decided to get sick. So it started then, and I did go to work Tuesday knowing I was in for it. I had an meeting at 2pm at my condo with Tarion and the builder as I’m on the Board and I felt myself going down health wise quickly.

And I have been off work since. Well I did go in Monday for an hour but couldn’t hack it (no pun intended) and yesterday for half a day and was told I need to work from home today. Which I did, but only for half of the day as I could not sleep during the night and instead slept until just after noon.

In condo news, I lowered my price to $283,000 on Tuesday as we only had 2 showings last week. I had a showing tonight and the young man seemed enthused about the place. I just need an offer…I am so ready to be in a house with a yard for the boys :)

Listed!

And we’re listed! We are currently awaiting MLS to populate for users of MLS to see as it can take 24-48 hours – but my listing is there for realtors to see and recommend my unit to view :)

I have only one item left on my to do list and that is to clean/dust inbetween the appliances. I dusted as I best I could for photos but the fridge and stove need to be moved out from their spots and a good cleaning done. And of course, when the place sells I will clean the inside of the fridge and stove as well. Micro was done :)

Customer Service

ostriches-1024x732I have been in touch and even met with a realtor to sell my condo. I emailed last night for him to confirm April 22nd for him to come out and for me to sign the contract and ask if maybe Sunday would be better as the condo would be filled with light for good photos.

That was ll:30pm last night. He had STILL not responded by 4pm even though I saw on his facebook page he was happy to share a new listing.

I called another realtor from his company who agreed with me that that is not customer service and promptly took my info and is coming over at 3pm Sunday. That…is good customer service.

And it Goes On…

boxsample1My life right now seems to be all about moving, decluttering, packing and unpacking. The latter was for work as our two locations consolidated into one and my agency moved into the building today. So today was spent unpacking my office and maybe 20% actual work.

I was/am pooped. I visited Target today with a coworker at lunch and my feet were already killing me; seems like I’ve been on them since Friday, oh…right, I have! I came home from work, admired my father’s flooring work, wall touch ups and trim painting. Then went for a ‘nap’ which had me get up at 9pm. I really didn’t feel like doing anything when I got up and almost talked myself into just taking the night off but I have a week tomorrow before we list so I got started on the yarn – under the bed it went (thank goodness for the purchase of the storage bed!) in garbage bags and then to the den I went to declutter and depersonalize the shelves.

Tomorrow I will tackle the kitchen!

Turning Another Corner

Life is so very interesting. If you told me in early 2000 that I would move from Hamilton to Mississauga and live in a ‘penthouse’ I’d have called you crazy. If you said I would then sell the condo and own my own home with a large yard for two dogs I would have, I’d have admitted you myself.

But yet, here I am in Mississauga (moved here in 2007) putting my condo up for sale and looking at moving to Brampton.

Anyways…I need a list, things need to be done. I told my realtor I would be ready to go on the market on the 22nd. That is tons of time to get my condo in tip top shape, I just didn’t want to stress myself out.

Tired

PinkPhoneThis really needs to happen and soon! I slept like crapola last night. Actually strike that, I barely slept last night. I am currently yawning as I write this.

I just need an answer, yay or nay, doesn’t matter at this point, just an answer. 9:54am…sending RBC some heavy ‘phone Trish’ vibes.

Brampton or Bust?

Well the day ends with no phone call which sucks, but I can deal with. I was perusing MLS this evening and decided to look outside of the Square One area and go either West to the outskirts of Mississauga and then towards Brampton. Hmmm…I think I’m moving to Brampton. There are some great houses I can afford whether or not I get a good phone call tomorrow. There are two that I really like and probably more and…AND…they have HUGE back yards.

Of course that would mean giving up my ability to walk to work or my 4min drive to work, to living across from Square One which has almost every convenience available, but I’m thinking I could give that up for a set of winter tires for Buttercup :)
