What is it with stress

My Tenant arrived from Colorado. She does not have the deposit. She doesn't even have a full month's rent. I told her I would give her today to come up with the funds but she could not move in without the deposit. Full September rent is due September 1. The deposit is $4000 plus the pro rated rent for August. I feel comfortable if she can get the deposit then we can cover our expenses i.e. mortgage and the last utility bills that are our responsibility.

Another woman is looking at the house as a back up plan. To me money speaks when it comes to our house. Tom is only going for this if the mortgage is covered. If this becomes too much trouble he'll be done with this avenue. I just hope she can come up with the deposit. We still have insurance and taxes to cover out of our own pockets.

Tom asked me to start on the books. I have still not found the books I bought him recently that he wants to read.

He also wants the nice furniture in the basement, in my boudoir, to be moved upstairs. His brother refinished them before he died so there is sentimental value. He wants to see them. I told him I wouldn't move them but he could. I am thinking I can move the planned wall in Riley's room one more foot over, then the hall could accommodate the four foot wide mirrored armour. So much for my linen closet, but domestic happiness has its own rewards. I am still dwelling on the mirrored dresser. I may just swap it out for the other dresser in the dining room that I use as a side board. It is smaller, but I don't have any strong feelings other than I don't want to be the one moving them.

Off to take Trevor to practice. Still don't know when Riley will be coming home. He must be having fun.
