My sweet husband came home from his work trip on Friday. One of our favorite things about Reno is the convenient access to the airport so that I can take him on travel days and pick him up on his return. This Friday I was busy writing offers and showing homes. He had to take a cab home and then run a half dozen errands for me that I had hoped to take care of before he got home. It was 8:30 pm before made it home with a takeout pizza rather than a delicious home cooked meal.
I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend with Todd and Coco. I had visions of hiking and trips to the Rancho San Rafael dog park. Instead, I was up and at 'em showing more property. Partway through my day my brakes made a super unhappy noise so I came home and swapped cars. When I got home later we made a quick trip to the auto parts store. While I was showing properties Todd was pulling our tax documents together. Good times. I got home and made some calls to clients who had questions about offers or properties. We went for a run, grabbed a quick dinner and I hit the hay so that I could be up in time to pull some paperwork together for showings today, Sunday.
So what should have been a quick couple of showings turned into a long and drawn out event because my smartphone wasn't smart enough to open the lockbox on the first property. I had to call Travis and Regina (a fantastic pair of Keller Williams agents who are also my dear, dear friends) to come let my clients and me into houses. On a bright note my phone was able to make the necessary update hours later in the comfort of my own home. Woulda been nice if it had just worked while I was standing on the front step with clients, but what good is complaining? The minute I walked back in the door my phone rang and I had another request for a showing. All the while I am also trying to help my husband with the taxes and doing enough laundry so that I don't have to wear pajamas to the office tomorrow.
It is now 10:38 pm and I have 8 Post-It notes with reminders of what I need to tackle tomorrow. Plus wrap up the taxes before my accountant (and friend of 27 years) has to call and chastise us. Tuesday is another full day BOLD. I will be lucky to get to spend 5 minutes with the husband.
To be clear: I am having a BLAST! I have a husband who supports me in every possible way with nothing but encouragement. I am doing a job I have dreamed about doing for years. I have clients and co-workers who make every day fun. And...if I can make it to 5:00 on Tuesday we're having some of the best friends on the planet over for tacos.
Life is good!
