Hello all, it's been a while
I see today it's been three weeks since I last posted. Well, it's been a busy three weeks with personal/family drama, some of which I hope is finally moving toward some kind of conclusion.

So much for a day off tomorrow
One of the downsides of owning rental property/being a landlord is that - if you are doing your job properly - you have to be ready to deal with emergency calls and repairs at any time. A weekend off can be gone in a flash. And that seems to be the case fo

Ready to start the weekend
Today has not been the most productive day, so perhaps I am simply ready for it to be the weekend already.
