A few things

unicorndukeMeetings have all gone well, I've got one more tomorrow.
I donated blood this afternoon and somehow managed to bleed all over, I think right after I put my arm down, I didn't put enough pressure on the gauze. No big deal.
They aren't kidding about not doing strenuous activities though.
I walked up the hill and stairs into the apartment, took my shirt off (because it had blood on it) and had to lay down on my bed for a couple of minutes.
I think if I donate again, which I probably will, I'll ask about being able to sit up slightly so I can look around and also use my phone for something to do. Or bring earbuds because it was all made kinda uncomfortable by boredom.
Interestingly enough, a couple of Amish folks were there to donate blood. There was also at least three other queer people which was pretty cool. Being around other people? wild.
The houses we zipped out yesterday to see were both fine. Nothing amazing, we didn't love them so we passed on both of them. One was an old farmhouse that had been incredibly lovingly restored and improved, including putting out a photo album about the house that included wallpaper scraps and old photos. They also had a list of improvements they had made on the table. New windows, they had probably stripped it down to studs, insulated and sheetrocked, the whole nine yards. Unfortunately it was on a road that had not a ton of traffic but consistent traffic. The other was a very generic ranch house in the middle of nowhere. The property was beautiful and quiet but the house, I don't know. It was fine. Weirdly laid out.
I thought about doing sidejob work tonight but I'm not going to lol. I'll try and power through some of it this weekend because I've got a lot of requests. I think the company had two people leave who normally do those plans so suddenly I have a lot of work. It's nice because money, but I do have a social life and do other things after work. And the days when we house hunt, I definitely don't get any of the work done.
We'll probably look again this weekend but only briefly because F has a whole bunch of family stuff going on, so we might see one or two squeezed in.

Hope the house search as something excellent and obtainable lurking in it soon.

Date: 2022-03-18 11:58 am (UTC)I think F has finally gotten a sense of what she wants from houses and how to tell if we love a house, so I think we'll be doing more targeted viewing from now on. It's a little more difficult for me because I'm over an hour drive but I'd rather make a drive to see one good house that has a lot of potential than five that aren't quite what we wanted anyway.

F knowing what's wanted sounds like significant progress! And you're of course completely correct on quality over quantity.
