Tuesday, House offer and masks

     I am making masks like crazy, and people are picking them up.  I actually ask then to call or txt me from the driveway and them I ask how many they want and I take them out to them.  Social distancing.

     I was able to make 40 masks yesterday, after I called a girlfriend who has been working through this mess and has had to wear a mask the whole time.  She has many different varieties, but told me the one she thought was the most comfortable.  So I used that design.  Also a coffee filter can be slipped in to add extra protection.

     I will be making more masks today.  But I really need to get to some regular sewing also. Also the shop is a disaster with all this mask sewing , so I will have to do a quick clean up this morning.

     The hip is much better, I am still however taking it easy.  I was able to sleep a whole lot better last night. Thanks goodness.

     The girls are due in about noon and I can't wait to see them.

     I made an offer on a house last night, much to Hubs chagrin.  We have looked at several and I have wanted to place offers on two others, but he in his Sheldon Cooper ways has thrown a fit, so I backed down.  But this time as it is the third perfect house, I went over him. His biggest thing is not going back into debt, which is almost impossible, as we can't really buy a fixer upper like we used to as he cannot do much of the work.  We need a smaller, flatter yard a smaller foot print.  So when I found this house I just put in an offer.  We will owe about $20-25 thousand in closing costs, but I can cover that with cash on hand and some savings.  If we get the house, I will have to live tight for a while to make up for other savings removed.  This house needs no real work.  There are things I will want to do to it, but nothing that has to be done immediately and I can wait until I have the money.
     I doubt we get it, as there was already an offer on it,and we have to put in a contingency to sell our house.  We will see.  If it does go through expect all out panic here as our house is in no way ready to show.  I will have to really get my butt in gear.  But don't worry, I have plenty of butt.

     More masks, made out of leftover quilt backing.  I knew that our realtor sewed and asked her if she had any elastic as I cannot seem to get anymore until maybe August on Amazon.  She had several yards so I have enough to do more masks and for that I am grateful.
     I just received our House insurance renewal and it has gone up again!  Not only does it not cover the replacement for the house it is heading toward $100.00 a month.  Ridiculous.  So I am going to search for a better company.  Also the yearly premium is due the same month as the taxes and I don't want two huge bills in one month, so I have to fix that.  When you pay off your house and you have to start paying things yourself and not out of escrow it becomes obvious how much you have to put away.
     Well I have to go and start cleaning up my messy sewing room and maybe put on a little makeup.  Don't want to scare my children.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. I think we will start seeing lot of things go up in price as everyone tries to recoup losses form the economy. I wasn't that excited to learn we were getting a discount on our car insurance as I now it will creep back up, most likely end up higher costs than we supposedly were credited.

  3. As a person gets older, even small things are not possible. I would have thought nothing of repainting a room all by myself. Now, not at all. I hope you get the house, got my fingers crossed.

  4. I feel the same about a house with less upkeep, its just harder as we get older. Can you explain what you mean by paying out of escrow when you have a mortgage? good luck with the house hunting.

    1. Well our house payment always included taxes and insurance. Now we have to save for those two things. When your insurance comes out of your house payment you never really see how much it is. Now I see and it is too much!

    2. ah, I see. here those payments are not included in mortgages, so always a separate payment.

  5. Good luck with the house offer. If this one doesn't come through, it wasn't meant to be.

    I wish I could find someone in my area that was making masks. I would like to have a selection of them so I don't have to rely on just one.
