I’m an author, a speaker, and a trainer of NLP and hypnotherapy. And I’m focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of the subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hello fellow adventurers. Hi, everyone. Alright, so I’m actually recording this on Thursday, typically, you get it on Thursday, which you will get it on Thursday, but I am just recording it. And that is because I just found my microphone, along with a laundry list of other things that have been happening. So I suspect this is going to be a really short episode. But I didn’t want to skip another episode I missed last week, which I if you’ve been here for a long time, you know, I rarely do. And the past three weeks have just been wild. It’s just been wild. You know, I closed on my house in mid May. And shortly after that, I got a leak in my apartment. So in my last episode, I talked about that leak and everything that happened. You know, but in all of that I had to move everything out of my bedroom. So I’ve been living out of boxes and stuff for like, close to a month now. And I was sleeping on the couch. And like just all the things fighting with the apartment, it was giving me so much anxiety because I just I just like people to do the right thing. And it was, it was just such a strange experience. Honestly, I did end up finally getting some closure to that. And we decided, you know, to move on, we came to an agreement, and we decided to move on and just let it go. I mean, we came to an agreement, we didn’t just let it go. But we didn’t fight anymore, you know. And so then we came to our, to our house, the sellers. Were moving out on Thursday, but they had issues with their movers. So it was really Friday, which we were planning on coming in on Friday and doing some stuff. But that was kind of pushed back. And then Saturday, I met a cleaner at the house. So this is like the update since the last time you heard a podcast. So I met this cleaning lady at the house that was doing a deep cleaning. And she was amazing. I mean, I think it took her like 10 or 11 hours. And she just cleaned every surface of everything. But when we walked in the house, I was like, what, what is that? What’s that smell. And she was like, I don’t know what that is. And then as I got close to one of the bedrooms, like two feet from the door, I could it was just pee pee smell. And when we came for the open house, they had rugs on top of their rugs. And I thought that was funny. But then also, you know, people’s style is different, I don’t know. So I’m not sure if that was an effort to keep the smell down. Or if they put their dog in here when they were moving out the dog was paying, I don’t know.
