Where Were These Buyers Hiding

It was along day spent in the office. Big called me this morning at six and wanted to know how soon I could be up there. That took care of any dreamy idea I was having about sleeping in. I think I got everything done for the week, or at least everything Big had thought of up that point. I know he'll have me back in there a few more times this week. While I was up at the shop today, we sold about $4,000 worth of stone, and I sold Big's trailer after he went home. So all in all it was a very good day.

Little still isn't home and I don't have much hope that he'll be here any time soon. Today was his softball tournament down in Pownal. I'm guessing that he is enjoying a little part with other drinkers. At least I don't have to worry about him driving. I just think it's to bad that he couldn't take Whit to her prom tonight.

So we sold the house yesterday, and today I have gotten two phone calls from people desperate to offer me more money. Where were these people before. I suppose we could still take other offers since no money has changed hands yet, but doesn't seem very honest to me.

I took advantage of having a empty house tonight to finish reading. And I made dinner of a bowl of popcorn and half a pint of Ben and Jerry's. This is my idea of a vacation.

A Gray November Day

7:59 am - I understand why things in our economy are tanking. I know I feel defeated. Money scares me. I'm wondering if sticking your head in the sand, turn off the news, wouldn't be a better way of life. It would at least save us from stress.

10:44 am - We just got back from a walk in the woods. Its a dark gray and wonderfully beautiful crisp day. Just a joy to be out in the woods. Besides Gr is so unbelievably happy to go for a walk, and his joy makes me happy.

12:46 pm - I just watched a guy drive around the Post Office three times, so that he could park right next to the door. Talk about lazy.

2:01 pm - I need to get my head out of my butt. I am just now having lunch. I'm in Manchester with only about half of what I need. I planned a deposit, left the money home. I forgot my book
which I normally read during lunch. I would have gone to the office and scrapped coming up here, but I had get Big E's prescription at Rite-Aid. Right now I just feel like going to sleep, like a waist of time.

6:05 pm - This is a picture perfect night. It's cool, clear, with a full moon. I could be outside hiking in the woods all night and wouldn't Gr just love that. We got back from Bennington and picking up some groceries to see three deer standing under the pear tree. They are enjoying this great night as well.

10:22 pm - Its been a nice evening with Little E here, although I think I bug him. Dinner wasn't quite healthy, I had a pint of Ben & Jerry's. It's great to be the adult.
