Today is Friday, January 29th

I've been a little more crazy than usual lately 'cause per normal, I left the 60 hours of study for my Real Estate license to the last minute....ahhhh ... finally tested out Wed. morning just before I had to head out for our office meeting and training.  Surrendered the completion certificate, credit card etc to my office manager and she took care of the state registration.  YAHOO!!!! Done for another 4 years.... Could have been enjoyable if the text hadn't been written by a non-native English speaker....
The woes of 21st century outsourcing...

Anyway I am truly evolving... I am actually using my brain and logic to make decisions... interesting that I can see that.  More decisions near term to make such as renew the lease for the rentals or sell?  I think we're approaching a critical time in the market.  China's woes etc. are affecting the technology sector which is a huge influence on our real estate world.  So... I'm gonna inspect both houses on Sunday and either give notice or continue renting them for another year.  The lease on 105 expires 4/1 so, I'll have to give 60 days notice....

I've been repairing and redoing all sorts of things on my home.  Electrician was here this morning to replace the motion detector out front.  Oh what a great feeling that is.... had the house treated last month for termites and framed the door for the martini deck.... put screens on all the copper drainpipes after the gutters were cleaned out .... replaced the weather stripping on several doors....and on and on....  I can finally say I'm truly grateful for my home and once again acknowledge and take responsibility for my guardianship....

I closed my last deal for 2015 on 12/23.  I've been very lucky and been referred another wonderful client and met a new client on Wed. at a Rio del Mar gathering who will become a friend... and she loves to dance!!!!  Salsa dancing here we come!

Riley is really starting to show his age.... that's the hard part...  tuning in to his needs and trying to keep him happy.... the walk down to the beach is getting harder but he loves it when we arrive...  the puppy rejoices...and so do I...

and then there's my T.... last night, Alan told me that T had told him, " he was in the fight for his life  and he was losing".... oh dear God...

Carpe diem my friends!!!!
