I forgot my beansprouts at home, which is a weird thing to mutter out loud to yourself in the car on the way to work. I got there on time, but forgot I would be leaving for Plainview after just a short while. I needed to get serial numbers from some touch panels, and wasn’t sure whether the lady out there would be able to get them for me herself. On the way back I stopped by the Superette, which is apparently just a word, to see what all the fuss was about. The fuss was not about bargains. Sodas were nearly three dollars. A bottle of apple juice was five. I got a deep fried burrito and a ham, egg, and cheese biscuit. The one from Ola was better.
I definitely did not feel as productive today. Between feeling pretty tired and having another meeting scheduled at one, I just didn’t feel like I could get super deep into any learning. I attended a Zoom call for OperationsHero again and got a little bit of clarification on some questions I had, and hopefully my suggestions were heard.
The afternoon drug on forever until I finally left for home. I went straight to Superfast where I barely caught Summer as she was leaving, just to tell her that I was going to get tacos and go to my house to do some laundry.
Alisha came back with news on our offer. We had gone from the $300,000 asking price down to $270, and they countered with $285 with no repairs, and they wanted a week after closing to move. Being me, I bumped our offer to $275 and gave them a whole month to move. They came back with a $280 minimum with a 14 day delay to avoid moving right at the start of school. Comparing the Sherwood house to Ouita, the parking sucked. I would have nowhere for my motorcycles until the storage building’s floor was completely replaced, and even then I would have to build a ramp to drive up into the thing. Ouita, on the other hand, was larger with more land and twice the parking after tearing down some drywall. Sherwood was a way cuter house, but dollar for dollar I think Ouita was just a better deal in spite of its flaws.
I finished laundry and headed up to Summer’s for the evening. Eaddie had gone out with Autumn for a while, but was back in her room by the time I got there. She never came out, and Summer was in bed, so nobody said a word about it. I told Alisha to let our original offer of $270 stand while we continue to look around, and called it a night.
Now we play the waiting game…
