Will keep you in my prayers for a successful meeting!
Just bring the doughnuts....
Good morning!
~sip~
Deep breaths, chica. You'll be fine. :-D
Good morning!
I almost logged in around 2:30am, had a nightmare that Joshua had fallen down a mine shaft. Musta been the news that "Baby Jessica" got married yesterday and it reminded me of that situation so many years ago.
Anyway, I had a bout of reflux, so I took a couple of tums and actually got back to sleep.
It was a reminder to me to really do my research before buying that bit of land, though.
Isn't that always how it works? Hopefully your day gets better from here.
Mornin'...
~sip~
One day and a wake-up. :-)
That, and walking the property with a good sturdy stick to poke the ground.
We have almost an acre here, and we had been here almost 15 years before I ever went all the way to the back of the property! The lot is only about 100' wide but is more than 350' deep, and is cut in half by a drainage ditch that runs across the lot and down the hill. I hadn't been to the part behind the ditch, mainly because it is a sharp slope downhill, and there was nothing there but trees and bushes, which are close spaced in the spring and summer. When we had the lot surveyed three years ago when we were planning the remodel, I finally walked to the back to find where they'd put one of the corner markers. It's a hike back there, but even more so coming back UP the hill! ;o)
*giddy*
I don't imagine I'll get any sleep tonight. Too worried about oversleeping and missing the flight. :-/
We have an organization here that cleans up old oilwell sites...called OERB and they do it for free...but I don't think they cover "mine shafts".
I wouldn't know where to begin to look for a land's history, beyond the obvious "Tar Creek Superfund"...an area of Oklahoma that was mined and a by-product that was left behind was literally *mountains* of lead-contaminated "chat". I'm talking mountains (not mounds) that you can see from a distance that has now leached into the water.
Obviously, we won't want to buy in that area...heh.
Good morning! I'll be busily tidying up here today :~D
Don't go all FlyLady on my behalf, chica.
Just open up a spot on the couch and clear a path from the door to the bed and that's fine by me! *grin*
*dancing in my chair*
I'll tell ya what... I won't clean ~while~ you're here, but you can't stop me from doing it now :~D
I will be having to go over to the store today, I'll check with the landlord about the email...
Heh...
Cool...thanks!
I know not everyone takes e-mail as for granted as we do. ;-)
And probably most don't check theirs every five or ten minutes...
With enough cuban coffee, I'll clean up the place for ya. ;-)
Doesn't it just figure. Feast or famine, chica.
