Tomorrow at 8am the contractor guy is coming to put in a closet in our bonus room, a door in our bonus room to give us access to our attic and put in flooring in our attic so we can store boxes of paperwork in a place people can’t see! And we are going to spend 5K to make this all happen. Cause you know, I haven’t spent enough money this summer.

I have a very bad case of jetlag. I feel anxious and I don’t know why. I got a migraine this morning. My daughter and son have a virus that makes them not too sick, but sick enough to make me worry. My… vacation nirvana was fleeting huh?

Today I did laundry. I unpacked. I started a new star reward system with the kids. I priced earthquake insurance since Allstate is bailing from the earthquake insurance business. I upped the deductible on our home owners policy which should hopefully cover some of the impending tax increases. I also booked a hotel in Fort Lauderdale for the evening before we fly to the Bahamas and then figured our car rental situation. All in all… a productive day.

I need to make some decisions about our house in Florida. I want to sell the damn thing but truth is, the market has turned, interest rates are going up and I do not want to cut the price more. So I suspect we will need to just keep it a few years. This means I need to do some legal paperwork, need to figure out if I want to hire a new property manager, and I need to get the pool fixed. Mostly it means that I need to get off my arse and actually be an active manager with all this crap. Which means that I need to get my mind behind gearing up to actually market the damn thing again. It’s almost like I have a mental block… I just am so not a “maintainer”. I am a “creator” and that dang house is just not in the creating phase anymore.

I’m also thinking about ways to make money. I have ideas percolating. But nothing that is moving me to want to jump in full steam. I can’t decide if that means none of them are good ideas or if I am just way more lazy then I used to be.
