Research
Know your subject. This applies not just to writers. It applies to homeowners.
Don't hire a contractor that cannot produce a business license/GST number and at least five recent references.
My mother learned the hard way.
Forewarned is forearmed.

Glass House
I forgot how challenging it is to live in a house listed for sale. Everything must be clean. Always. Pick up. Wipe down. Polish. Dust. Mow. Argh!
I'm a fairly clean person, but this is ridiculous. I need a buyer. Soon!

LA-X
And I don't mean an airport in L.A. I mean, Lacrosse.
Youngest plays Lacrosse. He and I are off to Kamloops for a tournament. I know nothing about Lacrosse. I've never watched a practice. This is what I know...
Lacrosse involves using a stick with a cupped net at one end to toss a ball between players and attempt to score on a net, much like hockey. Unlike hockey, there's no ice, but the game is a team sport, played in an arena. It involves a lot of running. The players wear protective gear, including helmets. I have no idea what the rules are, or even how long a game lasts. Guess I'll learn all that this weekend.
See you next week.

Accepted!
No. Not my manuscript. But something just as exciting!
We're dealing on the house across town. We finally agreed on a purchase price - more than we wanted, less than they wanted, but all in all, an agreeable price. Now we wait for appraisals on both properties. If the values work, the bank approves, and we're on to inspections, etc, and we list our house for sale. Possession is end of July if everything goes as planned. Fingers crossed!
