The dangers of house hunting
Sep. 14th, 2006 07:28 amI came down with a sore throat and cough in the night -- and so did my DH. We are both feeling a bit rundown and congested, with scratchy throats and sniffles. On Sunday we went to two open houses conducted by the same realtor, who should have been home in bed he had such a bad cold -- we spent several hours with him talking. Well, I guess it was catching. Hubby and I are never sick at the same time!
It's not too bad right now, and I will do what it takes not to let it get as bad as that realtor had it! However, we had arranged to go see my parents tomorrow for the day -- and I am reconsidering. I don't want my dad to get this, who is pretty susceptible to upper respiratory things -- and it must be catching if we both caught it. We bet we are in the contagious stage right now.
I go to WW in about an hour, we'll see how I am doing. I'm pretty sure my weight loss continues, because everything feels a bit looser. A nice feeling! I am sad to say that I may have to stop wearing my puzzle ring from Pakistan -- it is going to fall off soon if this keeps up. Which it better. I'm not going to slow down in losing weight because of a ring. ;-)
We are being shown another house after that by a realtor (not the sick one, though I hope WE don't make this one sick). I talked straight with Hubby last night and suggested we pursue the buying of a house -- since the market is good and we can swing it financially at this time, and it would be a good thing for other reasons -- but we really have to renew our lease here for the wee apartment for a few months to give us plenty of time to make the right decision. He seemed agreeable, but I will have to double check on that this morning! He tends to want "to see if it will all fall together in a couple of weeks." No wonder I'm stressed out! In spite of all that, though, there's no one I'd rather buy a house with, hee!
