I’m a Rescue Diver!

I got my rescue diver certification this weekend.  Whoa, that was exhausting.  Lake Chatfield is cold and dark and murky.  What a nasty place to dive.  Dragging “victims” into shore all day was physically challenging, especially when they are big men and I’m a tiny woman.  But, I must say, I rocked it.  Saturday night I went home, ate dinner and went straight to bed.  Almost the same thing today.  It must be a popular place to practice rescue as Little Fire was there today and both days rescue dogs were practicing.  Today there were rescue Newfoundlands.  What beautiful dogs – made me really miss my Saint Bernard, Kuma.  It was almost comical at times to look out across the water at all the pretend victims splashing around.

Jury

Jury duty today.  Wow.  This is nuts.  They called hundreds of people for this case.  I didn’t even know this many people lived in the county.  There wasn’t enough room for people to park.  I had to park 5 blocks away.  They didn’t have enough room for us to be in the same room and we were packed in there.  They had to give the information out twice.  Then we had to wait a couple hours while they went through some of the questionnaires.  We came back and they let some people go and told the rest of us to come back in a few more hours.  Then back again so they could let  a few more go and let anyone who wanted to say why they couldn’t serve speak.  We had to call back that evening to hear more names of people who could go.  This could ruin Easy Man.  I was let go this evening.  What a long day of hurry up and wait.

I’m not real happy with the realtor’s numbers so I called Trelora.  They charge a flat fee for their work, not a commission so I could save a bit of money.  They think I can sell the house for $275,000.  That’s better.  I’m skeptical that buyer’s real estate agents will want to show the house since Trelora is known for offering a low commission to the buyer agent.  However, everyone I’ve talked to at Trelora is upbeat and easy to talk to.  I think I’d like working with them.  They said they could list it quickly even though it’s a bit cluttered right now and they could easily work around my roommate’s schedule.

That was a fun weekend.  I’m out of shape and got my butt (well my lungs and heart really) kicked on the “easy” mountain bike run we did.  I got to see Mike race on today which made me happy as I’ve never seen him race.
