I started my laundry yesterday, just like any other Sunday but, shortly there after the washing machine started to make this terrible noise (somewhat like when it's out of balance). Knowing that it shouldn't be out of balance based on what I had in the washer, I went to check it out. What I found was the clothes just spinning around instead of aggitating like they should. I speard the clothes out and started the washer again and guess what....it happened again. I had to put up with that horrid noise threw a total of 3 loads of laundry. I had to get it done, there was no choice.
Needless to say, today after work, after dropping the appraisal report off at my lawyers, I went and bought a new Washing Machine. It will be here on Saturday sometime (I'll know better as to when Friday night). Now all I have to do is make sure there is enough room in the basement for them to move the washing machines around and also make sure the driveway is cleared of snow since we are expecting SNOW this week.
And BTW, the Cleaning elf came to my house today and took care of all those things I didn't get done this weekend. So, I guess it's all in who you know if the elves show up or not.

Appraisal Report
I received my appraisal report yesterday by fax and received the hard copy today.
I'm very happy with the professionalism with the place that I used. The appraisal was done on Tuesday and the appraiser had a question and the report was completed yesterday.
The appraisal I received was $11,000 more then the one done by my sister. This one also included the items that I indicated as missing from the first report. My opinion is that we use the report that I received and present it to my sisters lawyer. I don't know what they will say but based on the fact that this is more thorough, I feel this is the better one to use. I still need to discuss this with my lawyer.
We are going to have to give my sister a certain amount of time to accept or decline the amount and then a certain amount of time to obtain an approval for a loan. I will also want to see proof that she has been approved or denied the loan. I will not take her word on any of this.
Things in my life are going good right now.

Just an update
Things have calmed down a bit in my life for right now.
Robert and I have been talking a lot and taking things slowly. We are going to really give this relationship thing a try. Robert is committed to staying here and he is the one I really want to be with. He is not pushing me to make any decisions that I'm not ready to make and we both know that making a relationship work, will take work from both of us.
Ray is not taking this too well. As in, he just doesn't understand how this could have happened so quickly. I've told him this is someone that I've known for a long time and we probably should have tried a serious relationship a long time ago. He keeps thinking that he was just a fill in for Robert and maybe in a way he was but, I had no idea what was going on with Robert. The other thing was, Ray and I had a purely physical relationship.
There are too many things that I can come up with that makes up non-relationship material. He doesn't take me seriously when I try to tell him what some of these things are. He says he hears me, but he obviously doesn't listen.
Ray still thinks that we are going to have sex even though I am committed to building a relationship with Robert. It just isn't going to happen. He is only fooling himself.
The appraisal on the house is being done on Tuesday and I should have the report on Wednesday or Thursday by fax and they will also mail me a hard copy. I'll have to review this wilth my lawyer and then make an offer to my sister for an amount that is acceptable to buy me out. We may need to go back and forth a little but if we can't come to an agreement, the only option left will be court. Something I'm not looking forward to at all. It is in everyone's best interest to come to an agreement on an amount and to stay out of court.
I think I'm all caught up on what is currently happening in my life or at least what is most important right now. I know there are other things that need to be addressed but they seem to be on the back burner right now.

Current Happenings
I'm pretty stressed out these days with things that are going on in my life but, that doesn't seem to be anything new. I seem to be running in a stressed out state lately. I hoping that it ends someday soon.
I have adjusted to the new medication and I'm no longer bouncing off the walls and for the most part I'm sleeping fairly well. It's too soon to tell if it's really working or not. In about 6 weeks I'll have to go for a blood test to have my TSH level tested to see if it has dropped.
I talked with my lawyer and it was decided that the best thing for me to do at this point was to have my own appraisal done. So, I'm sucking it up and spending the money. The appraiser who will be doing the job has been on vacation and will contact my sister to get into the house either Monday or Tuesday and the appraisal should take place the early part of next week.
I also called the assessor of the town to question the differences that I know about the house and what was on their web site. She explained to me what they had on their records and let me know that the web site was wrong. They are going to send an inspector out to the house to ensure that their records are correct.
My only consellation in all of this, is I'm sure that my sister is or will be really pissed that these 2 things will be happening and there is no way she can refuse them entrance. She has or had no idea that I am taking steps to have these done. I am waiting for her to call me and complain or she might call her lawyer who in turn will call my lawyer. Since my name is on the deed, there is nothing she can do about it.
I had a dream on Thursday night about this and my sister was in it. I woke up Friday morning shaking. That's not a good thing.
Now for my personal life which seems to get more complicated ever so often. Robert called me Friday night to tell me he is back from Jamaica. I guess he figured I must have found out that he went there from his brother. We only talked for a couple of minutes. He said there are things we need to talk about. And he is right. I will give him a chance to explain what is going on and why he left like he did. I'm not sure how I'll handle it and I'm not sure what will come out of it. I know I'm a little scared of letting myself get close to him yet again - though I don't think I ever really let go, just pushed the feelings away. My past says that people who say they care or should care end up hurting me. That is not always true, I have some very good friends who have been there for me through thick and thin but, it's hard for me not to expect to be hurt.
I'm not sure how Ray will handle things if Robert and I do get back together. Ray and I are just friends. He keeps reminding me to not let my feelings get involved. That's pretty easy to do at this point. If I let my feelings get involved, then I can end up getting hurt and I don't want that. But on the other hand, when I don't call him and I'm home alone, he wants to know why.
Last night he called to find out what I was doing and I told him just playing games. He wanted to come over. I told him that I wouldn't be able to focus on anything. That I was confused about things. He wanted to know what was going on. I told him that I wasn't ready to talk to him about things yet. It's the first time he has asked what was going on with me. The real reason he cared was because he was going to get any. I told him I needed time alone. He told me I should have at least called him to let him know that I needed that time. I try to explain to him that when I get like this, I don't call people, it doesn't matter who they are. He doesn't get it.
I'm going to have to tell Ray something at some point. I'm not sure I can be with him until Robert and I clear the air and I know what is really happening. I don't know what it is about Robert but there is something there that draws me to him. Right now I'm just confused because I don't know what is happening with Robert but I don't think I can get myself to be with Ray while Robert is back.
I've been struggling big time with my urges. Eating to much chocolate instead, which isn't much better. It's one day at a time right now. That is all I can really handle.
And the saga continues.....

New Medication
Everyone knows how much I enjoy taking more medication. I started the synthroid for the Hypothryroidism yesterday. Some of the side effects for this med are: headache, nervousness, trembling, sweating, increased appetite, diarrhea, weight loss and insomnia. The rare side effect for this med is some hair loss but it is only during the first few months of starting it.
Just because I can't possibly start a new medication without having some type of side effect, I have a few that I hope will clear up before the weekend ends.
The side effects that I am having are: insomnia (I slept 1 1/2 hours last night) and nervousness (I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin most of the day). I have had some trembling in the upper part of my body. I'm going to try to wait these out since I've only taken the synthroid for 2 days.
I don't think I could go for a long period of time without getting much sleep right now. I've done that before when I wasn't so stressed out and I couldn't stand it.
