Okay. I have pneumonia and the realtor just showed up and demanded a house showing tomorrow a.m.

[crim son]

There's nobody here but me to clean this effin' place which is a DISASTER after last night's festivities. I couldn't say no because this is a third showing and the people are bringing somebody by to talk about redoing the kitchen or whatevah. We may have finally sold this place, who knows? But in the meantime, I'm S-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-c-c-c-k-k-k-k-k-k-k (whines) and I doan wanna move.

Please send vibes, goog people. Also, I have another job interview next Wednesday. Please send vibes for that, too. :D :hi:

Edited to say, I know I wrote "goog people" and I'm just gonna leave it. :P

1. are you taking antibiotics?

[crim son]

4. No, it's viral.

Me and my oldest son have the viral version; my youngest had the bacterial. I'm actually on the mend. :hi:

[Ptah]

6. I'm glad you're on the mend.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Damn, I wish I was closer, b/c I'd so help you clean

7. Thanks Sweetie.

I've already started and it isn't so bad. :D :hug:

[LeftyMom]

3. Get on your cell phone, summon your kids and tell them to get busy.

Tell them if any of their friends will come help you'll order them a pizza afterward.

Trying to exert yourself with pneumonia is a good way to wind up hospitalized. Trust me, I've BTDT.

edit: didn't see they were sick too. Can you hire somebody?

[crim son]

9. The kids are at their father's place (next town) but I did just call them.

They'll show up tomorrow and we'll do a small, slow cleanup. Gah!

[Connonym]

19. He benefits by selling the house too, right?

He should haul his ass over and do something. Do you have a neighbor or friend who would help or who could recommend someone to hire for the day?

Hope it really sells this time and hope you feel better soon!

[cwydro]

5. I feel your pain.

I've been sick all week.

Try whiskey and lemon.

And I hope you feel better soon.

This might help too.

[crim son]

11. Ha! I just posted that video on my blog!

It was painful to listen to, yet also pleasurable. :P Thanks, cwydro! I hope you feel better soon.

8. be careful please

just clean it as much as you can and fuck em if they can't take a joke, or joke em if they can't take a fucck

:hug:

:loveya:

[crim son]

10. How are those pain pills treating you, pawpicker?

:hug: :loveya: :hug: I'm sorry you've hurt your back.

[SPKrazy]

20. Making Me Ill

Sleepy, cranky, and my back still hurts...

:hug::hug: :loveya:

[Gormy Cuss]

12. Third showing? I agree with SPK. Joke'em.

They already know how good it can look. If you and the kids just clean up the worst stuff and explain about the pneumonia that's good enough.

And maybe they'll get off the stick and make a good offer on the house to save that poor sickly woman crim son from any more showings.

[crim son]

13. Yeah! That poor, sickly woman! :)

I've done the basics and am now quitting. The realtor said that the woman made some kind of remark about me being "short" and it was supposed to be derogatory. Short? I'm 5'8" tall. I don't remember her being a giantess. I hope they buy the house and then it falls down around her gargantuan ears. ;)

[Aristus]

14. Oh sweetie...

:grouphug: Get better soon. I'm praying that the showing will go well, even if the Gorgon buying it thinks you're short. I don't really care what happens to the house, either, as long as the check clears first... :P

You deserve some good happ'nins for a change... :hug::loveya:

[crim son]

15. Thank you very, very much Aristus.

I'm trying not to get too hopeful but I think the fact that they are getting a consultation on renovation is a good thing. OTOH, the house is on the Nat'l Historic Register and they town is pretty strict about changing the homes' exteriors. We had to go to a hearing just to change the paint color! Maybe the realtor won't mention it, or more likely they're richer than god and figure where there's a will, there's a way.

Hugs to you! :hug: :loveya: :hi: :pals:

16. The heavens will part and the angels will sing when you finally sell that place.

Damn, it seems like it's been a long time. So I'm continuing to send you good vibes for a SALE and I hope you kick the sickness soon, too.

That sucks. :hug: Hang in there.

[Dystopian]

17. I try so hard to be goog!

Am sending vibes....please take good care of yourself...even though on the mend. Pneumonia saps the life out of us. Be good to yourself....the house will be fine....

Healing vibes, house to house vibes, goog vibration vibes for interview!:hug:


peace~

[lizziegrace]

18. I know how that feels

:hug:

You know the drill. Clean what they'll see. Wish I was closer. I'd help you.

:(

21. My house sold on the day after a Halloween party.

Didn't have time to clean up the dishes, the party stuff. It sold that day. Perhaps the buyer sees a real liveable house when things are evidence of a good time.
