What possessed me to...

overschedule myself like this.

On Thursday, I will have my caseworker coming in to do my homestudy. I will also have the health dept AND fire dept popping in to do their inspections. I had intentionally scheduled the two inspections on the same day. The caseworker happened to call me yesterday (Monday) and wanted to set up homestudy. I told her that I happened to take Thursday and Friday off and she chose Thursday. Well, at least I can get it all over with at the same time.

Well, my landlord and I are going to be very busy tomorrow evening. He is such a sweetie. He actually has to cut off the burglar bars in the bedroom and he is putting up the extra fire alarms and extinguishers and anything else I throw at him.

What a great landlord!

Get it all over and done with in a single day makes sense to me, lol! That's exactly how I'd prefer to do things, so I have my stress out fit once, instead of over several days, lol!

Boy, I'm glad that I didn't have to have a health dept and fire dept inspection! That would have really made me nervous. The person who evaluated us just did a general walk through and looked for serious problems like gaping holes in the wall.

I am starting to relax. I am praying they don't all show up at the same time.
