Relative Something

I’m feeling a little out of whack this morning. We are up at the lake, and just barely able to connect to the internet. And barely is just a little bit better than last night, when we had nothing at all, despite multiple attempts of resetting devices in hopes of breathing some life into our connection.

I could try to be brief, but you know me… The bits of bytes will catch up, sooner or later. I’ve got a story to tell.

Cyndie arrived from Boston, late on Thursday night, and we had plans to connect with our friends, Mike and Barb, on Friday, to head up to Wildwood to spend the weekend with Cyndie’s parents. That was all the incentive I needed to take a day off from work.

Of course, work is way too busy for such frivolity, but I didn’t let that stop me. (However, I realized last night that I forgot to set my away message on the work email account… so, I may face some repercussions for my absence! Oops.)

In preparation for our going away for the weekend, I mowed the lawn Thursday evening. That’s when I discovered the possible source for the poor feedback about the exterior of our property, from the latest showing that had occurred. The weeds had taken over the back side of our house, in and around the fallow garden beds. It looked sadly neglected.

I spent the morning, yesterday, pulling weeds and trimming our over growing ground cover, to make the place look, at the very least, like someone cares about it a little bit. Then, it was off to the lake. Been busy ever since. There has been a lot of socializing all of a sudden, for a guy who has been living alone.

Speaking of living alone, I finally received clearance to share the news that has been percolating, and sometimes spilling out, indirectly. Cyndie is resigning from her position in Boston.

She’s coming home!

Be careful what you wish for. Yes, I am excited. But, I must admit, I was getting used to this living alone routine.

In the mean time, this will make qualifying for a loan to buy the dream property a bit more difficult. Suddenly, I’m not so anxious to find a buyer for our current home. The plot is thickening.

I’m off to get a workout on the paddle boards! It looks like a picture-perfect day, so hopefully the internet connection will get fixed and I can upload some images, or something relative.
