1. We have another showing tomorrow night. A few days ago there was a rather snazzy red car that made a few drive-bys and then stopped dead in the road in front of the house for a few minutes. I figure it's the driver of said snazzy red car. Also yesterday that older Mennonite farmer rang the doorbell again to see if the house had been sold yet. Apparently it's the Mennonite way (among the older orders) to watch for houses to that aren't sold before their listing contract ends; when they see the listing drop off the radar and the For Sale sign come down, they swoop in and make their own deal without having to go through realtors. Clever. But it's not going to work with us, because we have three offers so far.
2. I got in to see my doctor on short notice today because I believe I have a sinus infection. Dar concurs. Unfortunately my doctor disagreed. First I had to wait for 90 minutes because she was on call for the ER at the small hospital where the clinic was held today, and then we butted heads for about another 10 minutes about giving me antibiotics. Look, I get that they can be over-prescribed. I'm very careful about not using antibacterial soaps and creams and such. But in this case - being on an immunosuppressant that retards my body's ability to fight infection - I'm willing to take the chance. Not my doctor, though. So she gave me a steroid nasal spray and told me to give it about 10 days to work. Dar was fit to be tied. We'll both be keeping a close eye on this just in case.
3. Ozzie, our youngest alpaca, apparently got himself a pet. There's a little frog that got into one of the wading pools we have out for the herd, and Dar said Ozzie is simply beside himself with delight to have a little splashy playmate. He'll dip his nose in and then leap with joy when the frog jumps around. How cute is that?
4. I spend a lot of time reading up on the insanity going on back home with the hate and the fear and the threats and the mob mentality. I want to get into it here, but I just can't because I won't be able to stop ranting. Maybe in a few days but not now.
