Realtors aren't all alike

This new realtor is so different. He called today wanting to bring someone over, and of course we are sloths and haven't done any cleaning up yet. He didn't care! He said if that mattered to them, they weren't really a serious buyer anyhow. Wow! The previous realtor (prissy old phoney woman with fake hair & show-off clothes to make her look young) had us working like demons and paying hundreds to cleaners, and she also said we had to leave the house for hours while people often didn't even show or took their time, which is a genuine hardship in this heat & no place to take a dog except Petsmart or Petco, which gets very, very old very, very quickly. Our signatures on the paper have barely cooled, and later this afternoon he wants to bring someone else as well. Same realtor, buying and selling -- that's what I did, and I regretted it, because I should have made a lower offer and didn't negotiate at all because I was a complete dummy. But hey, I'm keeping my mouth shut. Uhh, it occurs to me that maybe he's not putting the house on MLS and exposing it to other realtors. Amazing, we didn't think to ask, just left him to his own devices, feeling kinda glum and non-activist.

What a slug day. Just listening to NPR and playing solitaire mostly. Exercised yesterday, which livened me up. I usually don't go to Bally's on consecutive days but maybe I should. I even slept late this morning, catching up on shortages all week, as I stay up too late to be getting up at six to walk the dog. Dog and me loafing today. Anyone who knows me has to be astonished to hear that I have been getting up every morning between six and seven. Me too. It actually feels good to be out before the sun is high enough to get mean. This week is gonna be awful, temps close to 110 and overnight lows in the 90's. Why do people live here? I feel pissed off all the time. I keep scheduling things I have to do, not leaving me gaps to get out of town. Dumb. I know, I can go to REI today and shop for a pad for camping. Yeah!
