Wrote this yesterday, so posting it and then adding below it:

I woke up this morning with scratchy throat.  A bit of mucous running down the back of my throat.  Come out to find out James is also feeling nasty.  So we all decided to get tested for Covid today.  Will be the 2cd time for me since this pandemic hit the world.  

An almost 2 hour wait at the healthcare facility - apparently half the town decided to show up and everyone wanted a covid test - and 2 things.

First, the last time I was in for medical purposes was my Medical Card for my CDL. That was like 2 months ago.  They took my blood pressure and told me it was 139 over 89.  I about panicked - it's never been that high at least to my knowledge!  Today? 122 over 78.  Much closer to what it normally is - which is under on both numbers.

2.  They shoved that stick with the swab on it up both nostrils - it didn't feel any better this time than last,  they really force it up in there - and it came back negative.  Yayyyy!  I've had a Covid ridden 6 year old clinging to me for 5 or 6 days now - he gets really clingy when he's sick, much more than normal - and I still don't have it.  I'll assume/hope that that means I'm not getting it.  So some good news, at least for me.

Taylor not so good. She tested positive and she is in extreme pain.  So much so I got a hold of a person that is affiliated with a doctor's practice and got some stuff to help her with the pain.  NO, it's nothing being done illegally, thanks.  I wouldn't do that, in anything I do, I definitely do not set  out starting something thinking, gee, it would be great to break the law today!  Don't need that kind of trouble.

Now, I just got word, and I mean just a minute ago, from my realtor that the seller's agent had gone down to the courthouse, pleaded with them to please process this paperwork and file it - and they did!  So now, it's back at the title company.  There should be no reasons left for them to drag this thing out.  Whenever they decide it's good, it's going to the lender who said 24-48 hours and then we can close.

Okay. It's Tuesday afternoon.  I just went and did a major shopping outing at Walmart. Haven't done so in quite a while and I was lacking in many basic things and so was the household.  

After putting that all up and eating lunch, I came in here, to my bedroom, sat down at my computer desk and was perusing things on the internet.  I scanned my email and saw nothing of interest.

But wait, what was that?  I get so much junk email I probably don't see important stuff sometimes.  

There was an email from the lender, but it was a different person, the manager of the place inviting me to ....... sit down and do the signing on Friday!!!!!

Wait, Friday?  Why not tomorrow or Thursday?  gag. Well whatever, we finally have a date to sit down and close! 

So that's it.  It's hot as blazes outside right now, I am not going to do any outdoor activities this afternoon.  Taylor is still suffering tho that should end soon enough when the UPS truck gets here. James is also feeling cruddy, he just isn't showing it as much.  I'm still in the clear, thankfully, hopefully it stays that way.  

Well, that's not it with the closing. I needed the amount needed to bring with me - they don't even have that yet.  Lol, this whole thing seems like it's being done by complete amateurs.  I freely admit that in my case, but these people are "professionals" and yet they seem clueless.  It's pretty surreal this whole deal and how it's gone through.  

I will be elated to finally have something actually done, regardless.  

And now.........I am going to think about the layout of this park for the next couple of days.  I bought some giant white, thin cardboard sheets.  I want to make some elaborate drawings of both of my ideas on these papers - well not to scale or anything, just drawings of what I would like to see as an end result - and then compare the two. Maybe even take pics of them and post them on my Facebook and ask for opinions.
