So yesterday (Thursday) I went home from work early due to feeling majorly "crummy." I ended up sleeping for at least 5 hours before Mr FT came over. I wasn't the greatest company for him, but he was understanding.
This morning I still wasn't feeling all that great ... so decided to stay home again. I had a doctor's appointment already to get some bloodwork done (recheck TSH) so called and had an appointment added to see the doctor.
I slept most of the morning after getting the appointment made, and would have slept more, but got calls from the Realtor and from Mr FT.
---- We may have found a house that works for us. Two possible ones actually. One is $52k and the other is $120k. The 52k one doesn't have a basement, but it does have a HUGE garage/storage shed. Mr FT thinks we could partition off part of it, insulate it, and make it part of his "man cave" instead of using a basement. Hey, if it works, and we get into a house for $52k ... I'm all for it!
The $52k house was built in 1880! About the same time the town was started. Yep, you're reading that right. Both of the houses we are looking at are NOT in L town. Both houses would mean a commute of about 35-40 minutes.
Yuck I know. Especially in winter.
But ... both houses come with LOTS of land. 1 acre for one, and 1/2 an acre for the other.
We're going to go actually look at both of them on Sunday.

I got a weird text from my boss today. She was asking me if I was unhappy at work. I texted back that I wasn't, with a couple of question marks, but no response.
My first thought was that maybe the CC I applied to back in January? didn't respect my request to NOT contact current employer. But it seems like its been a long time for that to happen...
The other thought was that she was thinking I wasn't really sick this week, and just taking time off because I don't want to be at work. In case that's the case, I got a note from the doctor. (felt kind of like a little kid doing it ... but, whatever.)
The third thought I had was that little miss busy body had taken my little off hand joke on Thursday morning as literal, and gone to my boss about it. One of our copiers has a bad part. The technician was in another town, and so talked me through resetting the code over the phone. One of my co-workers (who is invited to the wedding) jokingly told me that now I can add copier repair to my resume. I found that funny ... and without thinking, when talking to busy body co-worker, repeated that.
If it's the first issue - then that's going to be a headache to clear up. And is going to make me quite upset at the CC.
If it's either of the other two issues, then I think those will be easy enough to clear up.
Oy vey!

Mr FT has asked me to go with him on Wednesday to get his suit / tux picked out. Whew!
April 24 is getting closer and closer ....
Tuesday I have my makeup trial. Hopefully she can work miracles with undereye bags ... and make my eyes actually look open when I smile (I squint when I smile big - when I concentrate on NOT squinting, my smile looks all weird.)

I cashed out for $9 from Pinecone, and $5 from Bing.
Just a Cold ..

CB - I probably won't have any choice in the matter, because my mind won't be able to be self conscious about my smile.
Butterscotch - You may be right. I have taken more time off than usual for sick days recently.

Not sure if you think you would ever move after your purchase, but consider the ability to resell in those smaller towns.
I highly doubt the question was about your credit card. I think cc ask for that information if they need to find you if you are being served for not paying. And why would a credit card acquisition have anything to do with not liking your job? I would guess it would be that you have missed more work recently. Maybe she thinks you are job hunting.

CCF - I know what you're saying about having a basement in a tornado. Maybe we could have some kind of shelter dug on our property if we buy the $52k house (it has an acre of land ...)
I also have thought about the resale value. Both Mr FT and I plan on whatever house we get being our only house. So ... it wouldn't be til either one of us dies AND the other can't take care of it, or if both of us get to the point where we can't take care of it. It definitely is something we're taking into consideration. It's just that by buying something in the outlying areas, we can get the land Mr FT really wants for his side gigs (raising animals), and we can get a somewhat nicer house as well, for a lot less.
I messed up in my post - I should have said somewhere that I was talking about the librarian job at the CC (Community College.) She could think I am job hunting ..
