Received a call from an LA-based escrow company, could I accommodate an overnight refi package, part 2 of 2-part signing in Santa Barbara. Happily, I accepted.
Due to downpour of relentless rain all morning, FEDEX was late, one hour. I waited for them to show up, staying in contact with LO and co-borrower. Thankfully, since his work was closed down to mandatory evacuation of the senior residential facility where he is the head chef.
I finally got the documents, I called him to say I was on the way and he said, I don't know where you can park, you may have to walk a couple of blocks....really? Rain coming down in sheets.
Nope, I found parking in the back of his apartment buillding. It is raining so hard, I can't read the numbers on the unit doors. I call him, he comes down and meets me in the laundry room and escorts me upstairs to his apartment. He hands me a few paper towels so that I can dry the water on my face and hair. I'm dripping...
The job was $125. The LO called me up to make sure everything went well, and said he was very impressed with my patience and diligence. Can I do another one for him next week in the next county? He will pay me $275. He has a pipeline. You never know where the opportunities may arise.
So what's with a little water, right? I dry fast.
Went to the Honda dealership and got my care lubed and oiled and ZERO cost because I had a coupon, and Verizon fixed my Samsung. I racked up 8,000 steps today on my fit bit without breaking a sweat.
Next challenge? get a fire started in the wood stove with damp wood...everything is wet. More rain on the way, but evacuation orders lifted at 5pm.
Wishing every one a solid, productive month end. Suddenly, mine is looking better than I anticipated.
