Catching up

Still alive. Just finished up an eight day stretch of babysitting the poker room. Tonight, I actually get to pitch cards and push pots! Business continues to get better. I've even started to enjoy wearing the tie. I lasted two years from the date I said I'd never be talked into wearing the tie again - never say never - and, at first, I wasn't thrilled about it but it's actually not that bad.
Still haven't closed on the house. First mortgage company we worked with - maybe it was the originator and not the company, but who knows - over promised and under delivered. We finally opted out and started over with someone local. Three days later, we had things back on track. Then came time for the appraisal. Being a short sale, the previous owners are not participating whatsoever. We ended up with a 24-hour window in which we needed to get all of the utilities turned on, a working stove installed, and face plates put over all of the outlets, switches, etc.
So, that's how I spent my two days recovering after working eight days straight. Now, it's back to the grind. One of these days, I'll actually get free time to write something...
Until then, move along. Nothing more to see here ;)
