We have just two more sleeps before we go on vacation. And our high season has just ended. In my mind I'm half way on that midnight plane to France and dealing with the last of guests and planning updates, repairs and painting for the winter. You know, thinking about finding bedroom furniture on craigslist and the such. Then there are my family issues and our taxes to think of. And of course, I haven't even THOUGHT about packing. And I have a dentist appointment and I'm supposed to get my hair cut before I go on vacation. I think that pretty much covers the candle burning at both ends... we even have guests up to the day that we leave.
And then this morning I get THE phone call, they want to do my mandatory government inspection on the day we leave for vacation. When I told them I was going on vacation they didn't want to postpone, they wanted to move it up, to today. While we are doing the big fall cleaning. And there you have it, just when I'm dreaming of those days until vacation someone has to throw lighter fluid into my fire.
So, I won't have time to do the upgrades and updates to the house before the inspection (which should be in February). I won't have time to repaint or do bigger touch-ups. And then I have to worry about the results. I was hoping that I could get one more sun with the updates and upgrades. I guess I'm going to have to live with my current rating or have to pay the fee to get the consultantancy and reassessement fee if I want to move up in suns.
Two more sleeps.... two more sleeps... and then one sleep on the plane and I'm driving in France.
