The practice is SOLD. I want a big SOLD stamp. The practice is SOLD.

We still need a tenant, but we are officially counting down to get out of this industry. DrC starts work for Evergreen Eye Center on December 1, 2007. He is contracted to them for six months and then we are outta here. OUT. It's DONE.

DrC is satisfied. He noted that he sold it for essentially the same amount he bought it for, less the condo. So over 10 years he got paid every year, learned how to run (and not to run) a medical practice, grew as a doctor, and earned an "extra" condo's worth of land value which he converted into our commercial property over on 153rd. Since the sale doesn't include the condo, that means the practice value roughly doubled in that time. That's pretty damn good. I'm proud of him.

Did I say we still need a client? The realtor guy hasn't called yet. I think he's meeting with the furniture guy tomorrow. Fingers remain crossed on that one. The clock is tick tick ticking.

SICK REPORT: For those still following the saga of the snot, I'm on antibiotics and they are working. The golf ball is starting to fade, I can breathe, and I actually functioned pretty normally. Mera is doing well also, with just some lingering snot/lung crap. Jaime and Aeron seem to have dodged the bullet. They keep showing preliminary signs but then they spontaneously remit. DrC, however, looked like death when he came home. He immediately went into the hot tub from which I anticipate he will emerge in a half hour, eat beef broth, and celebrate his practice sale milestone by going to bed and sleeping for 16 hours.
