I will explain why I HATE this word, but there have been several events recently which I will reluctantly term “serendipitous”: a fortunate coincidence, somewhat related to “luck” but sounding more intellectual & fancy, dontcha think??
A.) finally having a Zoom meeting with Ferris city officials this afternoon to hear what they may or may not offer me as incentive to bring my veterinary clinic to their locale - fingers crossed that they will assure me I can get city water to that workshop property I want to purchase.
B.) I found an older mobile vet unit which we can use as temporary headquarters as our new place is being prepared - The only drawback is that it’s in Pensacola FL but hey, I’ve driven past there - it’s about 11 hours so I can hop a flight and drive it back to Texas. The serendipitous coincidence is that it is owned by an outfit which does medical & surgical facility design, kind of a counterpart to the guy I’ve been talking to here in Texas who will help us design my new office (they have no real connection, I just found it interesting to talk to him & he was certainly all-in when he knew I was a legitimate buyer: he is having new tires, a new back-up camera and new flooring installed in the unit since I won’t be able to get out there until the end of August) hopefully I can persuade Zach to go with me - we could conceivably have one day on Pensacola Beach and drive back the next.
C.) I gave a stack of portable fence panels to my friend Christina and her husband since they recently moved to her MIL’s acreage near Paris (Texas, that is - not France!) I will be planning to move what is feasible, sell off and salvage the rest in a more or less scorched-earth policy as I leave my clinic behind. This reminds me to call my HVAC man to see if it is practical to move my not-terribly-old unit to our new facility? He’s a long-term client so hopefully I can get him to store it for me as well if there is a delay in installation. Lots of moving parts here!
