Yesterday morning started like most any other. Even though it was my day off, I woke up at 6:30. I am officially an old man now, because I wake up at the butt-crack of dawn, regardless if I'm working or not.
Big Judy called me at 6:45 as he was driving to work, which is not unusual. About once a week or so, we will talk during our commute. It kinda makes the time go by faster.
We hung up at about 7:02. At 7:04, my brother called me. I started talking to him like nothing was going on, when he cut me off and said, "We're at the hospital, and they are going to do a c-section in about an hour."
That got my attention.
I got to the hospital and met my 30 minute old nephew. He weighed 6 lbs 6 oz, and was 18". He's light as a feather, but very healthy. My sister-in-law is doing well too. She will be coming home in the next 1-2 days. I was so excited to see my little nephew. It's really quite amazing.
And another first happened yesterday. I was the Baby Sitter for my 2 year old neice. All by myself. For 2.5 hours. Scary, I know. Little Maddy did great, and so did I, if I say so myself.
What a day. Thank God that the baby and Mom are doing well.
Now on to another topic...
Until yesterday, I was about 75% sure that I was going to put a bid on a house. Dad, the realtor, and I went to my top 2 houses. I ruled out one of the houses pretty quickly, based on location. But the house that I was pretty sure on had a big drawback that wasn't readily apparent on my first trip there
It's in a pretty rough neighborhood. Now, I don't mind living in a mixed race neighborhood, and for the price range that I'm looking for, it's an almost certainty, but this neighborhood was a bit...dark. I'm not exactly sure that there were any white folk there. None. So I would kinda stick out like a sore thumb. A very sore thumb.
Now I think that I'm back to the drawing board. Dang it.
So yesterday was a bit of a letdown...
Keep on keepin' on.
