Good morning. I'm tired as neck and getting ready to man the fair booth in a couple hours. I'm not a fair person, too crowded lol.

Matt went last night, I thought to watch the demolition set by but he was actually on a pit crew for his buddy. He didn't get home until 1am.

The showing last night was different to say the least and an our and a half long. My seller is Robs sisters sister in law. Sues going through a horrible divorce from a drug addict with a family of lawyers and judges. They set her up and conned her when she sold the other house with the first realtor so shea very suspicious. The buyers uncle is friends with her husband so serious red flags went off. He wanted to meet her in person to clear the air and he brought his mom. They are being sued by the uncle for half their farm after the dad/husband died. They wanted to explain they are in no way working with the uncle or her husband. This is the short version lol. Sellers husband and buyers uncle are putting both families through hell. There was hugging and crying.

Anyway the buyer is paying for a septic inspection before writing a contract. If it passes we'll all be happy. If it doesn't we'll have to get estimates. Could cost 50k to fix if it doesn't pass so if that the case she is just going to keep the property. You only have to upgrade if the title transfers.

Sorry for the long story. Thats the very short version of the whole story lol. These are all nice people and you can't imagine what these guys have put them through. Very sad.

Hope you all have a great day. Rob will come home today so not sure if I'll visit him at home today or tomorrow.

Some quotes:

Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people.
Tena Desae

Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.
Leah Labelle

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

Morning Jen. Well it sounds like the showing went as well as it could have. At least it was tears and hugs and not gunshots and police. Appreciate you taking the time to share with us. I'm sure it was a relief to you considering how it could have gone.

Such a sad situation. My older sister's family is kind of going through something similar. Just don't see the point.

Good luck at the fair today. Hope it goes quickly and that maybe something solid and good with come out of it for you.

College football kicks off today so you can imagine how my day will look! Taylor already has an Auburn flag hanging at Jeff's house. LOL She's almost more of a fanatic than Bruce is.

I need to make a list of supplies to have at the house in the event Irma decides to pay a visit this weekend. Really praying it decides just to spin off into the Atlantic but have to be prepared.

I'll check back later.

At the fair. It's in the 50s and windy and a tiny bit rainy. Absolutely miserable and I just got here. I'll be planning my vacation next year to avoid this.

Well that was a huge waste of a day. And I do feel like I'm getting sick! I bought a scarf and someone gave me gloves to wear and I was still shivering.
Between the cold, wind and rain, the fair was pretty dead. It was miserable.

We got zero signatures for our prize giveaway between the 2 of us. At least I had a girl I like as my partner. The one thing I managed to get accomplished was completely blow my diet!

Now that I've wasted a lot of time I couldn't afford to waste, I have to get laundry done, pay bills and oh did I mention I need to do show prep?? Lol.

A lot of people got out of doing the fair this year and next year I'll be one of them, even if I have to fake a vacation lol!
