I'm tolerant of low points caused by innocent mistakes rather than slips of character. That court summons that came to me was unsettling when I heard a rumor that the owner of the home will be unable to sell the property. Supposedly, this is because a lien acts like a poison against the ability for any potential buyer of that unit to get a loan, thereby making the place unsalable. At this point it's conjecture, but my understanding was that a lien simply locks in our claim against any unpaid condo fees by the owner out of the sale proceeds (which our attorney confirmed that it does). There will be more to learn about this "blocking loan" assertion, but those fees had grown so large, that something had to be done to legally protect the interests. So while there was some unpleasant surprise in the mix, there is surely a way to enable everyone to be well served by the situation.
Another defiant neighbor incident stirred up additional work for the Board to rule upon, and was another contributor to the meeting with the attorney. This has been the busiest summer as a Board member yet! But it's spurring stronger discipline and education in the regulations of the association, always an upside to short-term challenges.
What's up?
Fantasy sports statistics, for one. At last, all five teams have reached first place, with one week to go in the baseball season. The football team eked out a first-week win.
Number of books read, for another. Was able to polish off two books this week, an indication of being freed from volunteer work more so than previous weeks.
Our percent completion of a big project at work. It's been unstable for weeks, but we made steps forward and more importantly, locked in a plan of attack.
Progress toward the basketball season. We'll have a couple meetings to talk plans and strategy.
Dena's productivity. In anticipation of a retreat attended this weekend, she knocked out several graphic design projects.
Cardio fitness. I usually run the resistance setting on the elliptical machine at "14." This week it crept up to 15 for several minutes.
The old devils of backbiting and brooding held no quarter this week. The weather may be sliding backward, but inner strength has been on the rise!
