random thoughts - Day 1961 (Wednesday) - seriously?

I woke up feeling more rested and refreshed than any other day in recent weeks. The guest bed at the home of my friends is amazing. As we had coffee, I said it was the first day since being laid off that wasn't packed with stuff 

After breakfast, I applied online for a copywriting job that sounded really cool. It took much longer than it should have. First, after uploading my tesume, I noticed the email address didn't match my LinkedIn profile, and fixed it. Then I realized it said Lowell instead of Gardner, and updated. When the info from my resume populated into the recruiting format, I saw it still showed me as working at the bank. I backed up one screen, updated the dates, loaded the third revision for the morning, and tried again. Cripes! It got done, but it was screwy. Then, there were a few minutes of relaxation. Very few. 

There was an email from the paralegal asking me to try to get the payoff figure for my mortgage. Seriously? Instead of telling them that isn't my job according to the fee agreement and because I need my purchase transaction to close on time, I checked my mortgage account and called the bank. There was payoff item noted as a transaction in the account, which made it seem they had received the payoff request. I called the bank and a call center rep repeated all the previously known methods of requesting payoff figures which were the problematic fax number, the known email address, and now a second email address.

After I updated the paralegal about the payoff fee it turned out the office had the needed info already and "someone" (paralegal finger pointing) had filed it in my buying folder, not my selling folder. Awesome. Glad I could explode my morning to do your job (for which I'm paying a fee) for the second time this week.  

My realtor checked in about our walkthrough at the new house today. What what?!?! In all the stress and nonsense I had completely forgotten that was today. Stressed much? Yes, sadly.

There were calls, emails, and forms from the insurance company related to the delayed closing date. So much for thinking I finally had a day free of activity and stress.

Before the walkthrough, I went to Mom's and put more stuff in her now crowded with my other stuff spare room. I had invited her to the walk through and when the realtor arrived, the three of us headed next door. There were no issues, and we are good to go on that front which was a relief. 

After the walk through, it was back to my friends' home. The chef of the duo made butternut squash risotto for supper and it was delicious. Supper was a much needed relaxing time with conversation and great food. Thank goodness.
