Well, kinda had a rotten Monday. A rather expensive listing I had, that got an offer on it (we were in the process of countering) is a lost cause..lol. The sellers were moving to Alabama to be near their son. Well, the son called over the weekend to tell them he'd quit his job and was moving back to Mich to be with his gf.

So, if the stupid buyers had accepted our initial counter, the sellers would've been locked in to the sale and would've completed it (and I probably would've gotten a 2nd commission on the house they would've bought here). Now they've taken the house off the market completely. So there goes about $4,500 in commission (just from their current house). That totally sucks ass, b/c I was gonna extend our trip to England with that money. Now, I'm kinda scared about spending the extra $$ to do it--although H still wants to spend an extra week despite it. So I dunno what's gonna happen with that. The good thing is that they are happy with the job I did for them, and took a bunch of my biz cards and will recommend me to their friends and family if any of them need to buy/sell.
Weight went up 2lbs (to 219) from my Sunday pigout, and is down to 218.5 today. I suspect it will be back to 217 or close to it by tomorrow. However, I'm meeting up with Bellaryna tomorrow and we will probably pig out on yummy Amish food. Maybe I'll behave myself after all..lmao. That's funny.
I looked at a couple of houses for us today. At one of them I was greeted outside by a very friendly black cat who was a deadringer for the cat I lost in August (I still cry about that cat). The cat followed me all over the yard, rubbing against my legs and purring. Of course I petted him like crazy, and he ate it up..lol. I was half inclined to bring him home with me, as I suspect he's a stray. The house is vacant, and I wonder if the previous owners just left him. The house needs a lot of work, but it has potential. And if the cat comes with it--I'm sold.

The house is in foreclosure, and the bank could take it back at any time since the owners have moved out. So I'm not sure if I should just wait, as I'd hate to get into the process of buying it only to have the bank screw me over at the last minute.

In the meantime, I'm gonna take H to look at it, and maybe bring the cat back with me.

I think he has ear mites, poor thing.
