More work

Well, no showings requested for today so far. I've become very suspicious of this.

I have made it a pattern that if I am going to work on most things around the house, I wait until late in the day. Can't sand/stain/paint early in the day in case someone does ask to see the house. So I have to wait until at least close to evening, so any of that will not interfere. 

Told the agent to drop the price again. I had kind of hoped for the higher price so I would have a bigger profit. Oh, well. At what I told her to drop it to I would still make a more than $20k profit. 

Work called and asked me to pick up more shifts. I agreed. Only partly for money. Mostly because a nurse quit, so they're short of staff again. One nurse I talked to Monday had been working 6 days in a row and is doing that almost weekly. She was supposed to work yesterday but called off. They were calling and texting me frantically to ask me to work but never made any offer of extra pay, not even holiday pay. So I said no. 

In any case, the extra money will help offset living expenses and maybe the lower profit. Right now I have enough in savings that I can survive here through July and two more months. I really don't want to be here that long.
