As I come up to the end of my job, they are changing my schedule. That's no surprise.
I am training my replacement this week. She'll be okay on her own. She seems like a good nurse. Be on her own quickly.
Since she will be taking over my schedule, they want to change my schedule. Stays the same this week. Next week I do 4 evenings, then off on Thur and work morning on Fri. Then a day off, a morning and then an evening.
That splits my days off, which truly sucks while I'm trying to get the house in order.
Oh, well. I have been thinking in terms of my current biological schedule and that getting the house in order could take a while once I stop working. That's a mistake. My biological schedule is mostly being determined by my work schedule now. (Since the weather has improved.) Once I stop working, I can alter that schedule to get to bed much earlier and get up earlier.
So, I think it will take me two weeks or less to get everything done that I want done to sell the house. This weekend, I'm packing a lot of stuff and putting it in the shed. Try and get the main living room finished. Then during those 2 weeks, condense my living quarters down to just the north side of the house and one closet. It will move much faster if I get most of the house cleared out this weekend, leaving only the actual renovation work to be done. That may shorten the time to only a few days.
I do have more energy than I had. I just hate getting dirty before going to work and that's unavoidable right now.
I am going to spend a few hundred dollars on supplies to put the house in order and increase the selling price. The price being asked when I bought it was higher than I paid. I negotiated it down because the seller was "motivated". He lived in NY and it was just an investment property which was costing him more than he had been making on it. So I am very hopeful I can get more than what I owe by several thousand dollars. Plus I bought at the bottom of the housing market in 2009 and the market here has increased a lot since then. Between those factors, rewiring and renovations I have done and will do, the selling price should be good. I really hope to get at least $10-20 thousand above what I owe on the mortgage. Even the area has improved since I moved in. Other houses have been renovated, the street repaved, new movie theater and restaurants built nearby, new drainage for the whole subdivision. All that adds up.
