While trying to go to sleep last night, I began having extreme intestinal pain and nausea. Spent an hour in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet, sweating with my head in the garbage can. Luckily it finally eased up. Still a little pain but nothing severe. I think the sausage I ate last night had peppers in it which I could not tolerate any more.
Good thing about living on the poor side of town. There's always car repair shops and parts places nearby, usually in walking distance. I took the van to a repair shop a while ago to get the AC repaired and find out why the check engine light is on. I was going to get an oil change but they want too much. Was going to get emissions tested but they don't do that. Blech.
I'll do the oil change myself and get the emissions test done where I usually do. Smart place, they opened their shop in the parking lot of the DMV.
So, I got a bid on the house. At first I was going to reject it. It was considerably lower than I wanted and the closing was expected to be 9/7/17. But I submitted a counter-offer to increase the price slightly closer to what I want, move back the closing and any inspections are for buyer knowledge only. No repairs required by me. They agreed to all of it. Closing is set for end of August. They will be doing inspections sometime soon. I know they won't find anything but maybe some minor plumbing issues. Depending on what inspections find I may agree to fix some of it if it's inexpensive and I can fix it myself.
Last night I had only heard they had verbally accepted the offer but the agreement wasn't signed. This morning my agent confirmed it had been signed and sent me a copy.
Strange thing. His agent works for a non-profit 501(c)3 agency. Never heard of such a thing. In addition nearly every agent that left a card had their picture on their card. This one did not. Whole thing strikes me as a government op. Probably witness protection. Maybe local PD drug op? If the latter is the case that means they are working on something huge in this area. If the former, I question their wisdom placing a witness on a dead end street. But the house would be easily secured, mostly cinder block and limited rear access. Plus they could install cameras that view some crucial areas. Considering my own government history, they may think the house would be safe for the purpose.
Or it could be my imagination gone wild.
One thing I am really happy about. I no longer have to clean the damn house for people who come to tour it. That was annoying me. I'm very private and not fond of strangers walking through my house while I'm not here. Guess it would have been worse if they came through while I was here but still..
