I know I am going to be told I am making excuses. It is ok...because I am...or rather I did...to myself.
I am not even going to try to pretend I didn't.
I haven't blogged for two days because I have been sooooo busy...I mean busy as in about four hours sleep a night, racing the clock every second and eating whatever I could get as quickly as possible.
Financially it has been fantastic...I have had a great week...the best I have ever had actually....mentally and foodwise...perhaps the worst.
Yesterday for instance, I was up at 4AM preparing paperwork and doing analysis for offers. At 9:30AM I was attending a three hour home inspection on a property listed at $1.4 million. I raced straight from that to my office to spend the afternoon accepting offers on one of my seller's listings. It wasn't an expensive property (by Toronto standards)...$329,000, and it had issues, but it got 9 offers which meant a lot of work on my part and it sold above list price. I went straight from that into placing an offer on the property that was listed for $1.4 million. Believe it or not it went multiple offer too. The process didn't finish until midnight but we got it. We had to pay over $1.5 Million for it but we got it and my Buyers are absolutely thrilled.
So now comes reflection day. Did I have a choice? Yes. Did I make the right choice? No.
I am sure I am "up" weight-wise, and I feel exhausted and overwhelmed. Today I am preparing a listing to go to market tomorrow so I am still busy but I think I can get back in control.
Not sure what the point of my blog is today to be honest. Just reflection I guess. I won't say it was "worth it" but my focus was where it needed to be and I got the job done.
Now I am still busy but the craziness will be a bit better so I have to be healthy today.
Having said that it is 4:00AM and I am up and working. Went to bed three and half hours ago. I just have so much to do my mind is racing. I will have a nap later. I will have to.
I guess it boils down to the same old thing. When you fall off the wagon get back on as quickly as you possibly can.
Be healthy!

Funny how our minds work. I too was awake shortly after 3 and at 4 decided enough was enough and got up to read the paper. Started working at 4:45 (it is great to have the ability to do so), packed up at 6 and in to work for 6:30. I am sitting here now wondering why I am so hungry so early, but I guess our bodies need to replenish after so long. I am have a micro-waved lunch - yes I know not good - but it is called 'Smart Ones' and actually is WW - 3 points, and only 190 calories (what are you doing to me and I not even a member). They were on sale last week so I grabbed a bunch just for times like this when I didn't have any left-overs to heat up for lunch.
I am so glad business is busy for you - maybe it is because you were just questioning the real estate market in your blog not too long ago.
Take care my friend.
