friday

It rained all day and evening yesterday.

It was the perfect day to clean my garage.

I organized all the stuff best as I could and swept.

It looks so much better and it makes me feel so much better.....less stressed.

After cleaning the garage I went swimming. It felt so good being in the pool

during the summer rain fall.   

he looks sad to me. i hope he's not sad.

from the dunpster

the cabinet turned out ok. really it needed another coat of paint but it didn't get one!

i like it and now i have a lot more storage in my bedroom!

tuesday

It's hot, humid, and sunny here. Feels good.
I've been outback working on the cabinet I got
out of the dumpster.
I wanted to sand it but couldn't figure out how to load the sander. Then I felt like a failure,
and then I was angry that Mickey was dead...........so I had a pitty party until..... I told myself to quit feeling sorry for myself and to take the sand paper and sand the fucking cabinet by hand.
 So that's what I did. When I was finished I cleaned the whole cabinet with spic and span. I cleaned up my mess and then began applying primer. But I also had to peel old shelf liner off of all the shelves.
I primed the whole thing and in a few minutes I will paint it.

Son is on his way over.
I had a pipe leak in the basement last evening.
I think it's the bath tub.
So i'll deal with that and then paint!

sunday

I worked yesterday.
They had one N95 mask and two surgical masks
waiting for me.
They also had me scheduled to work two units again.
It's too much man.
I haven't had a significant raise since the economy bust back in 2008.
I mean come on, they don't pay me enough to put up with bull like doing
2 peoples job.
I'm not doing it again.

Daughter is coming over today. She's planning on spending the night.
The only real plan we have is to go swimming. And I bought stuff to make us some seafood boil.
My house is already clean and I mowed the lawn the day before I worked so I'm all set to just
have a good relaxing time with daughter.

friday

I'm scheduled for a 12 hour shift tomorrow.
I just called HR and   asked for them to be sure to leave me an N95 face mask and a surgical mask.
Last month I had to search for one.
I'm not working without masks, and that's what I told HR in my message. So we will see.

wednesday

It's pouring rain here.
I sat on the porch this morning
and had coffee.
I'm not really a coffee drinker except for once in a great while.
It went well with the rain and the quiet morning.

I don't have plans for the day and when it's raining I don't
feel as guilty if I don't do much.
I bought a book yesterday.
For whatever reason I haven't been able to read
a book for quite some time. I can't concentrate or follow the story.
I've tried many and just haven't been able to do it.
I love to read and it really bothers me not being able to do it.
I thought I'd give it another try.
I bought a thriller by James Patterson.
We'll see!

Tuesday

I worked my butt off today in the yard. It's so hot and humid here!
As usual I got into the pool after the yard work and just cooled off and relaxed. Afterwards I went into the house and ended up falling asleep.
 Mr. Bojangles laid across my legs and Woody snuggled up to my neck.
It was a deep, peaceful sleep. The kitties slept well too.

Saturday

The time just flies by. Where does it go?

My new computer is dead.
I tried to sign on the other morning and it's just dead.
Less than 6 months old. Sucks.

My next to oldest computer was ruined when I closed it on the cord.The screen is totally jacked up.
The lid to this computer is hanging by wires and the space bar doesn't always work plus it's slower than molasses!

I'm hopeful Lenovo will repair my new broken computer!

I slipped getting out of bed the other day. On my way to the floor I slammed my chin and chest on my bedside table leaving a huge purple bruise on my chin and chest. It looks like I've been boxing. My chest doesn't hurt but my chin has a lump that's very sore!

I got a nice cabinet out of the dumpster behind the school.
If it doesn't rain I think I'll sand and paint it today.
It will be great in my bedroom.

Kitties had their flea treatment.
I used a more natural treatment this time.
It smell like cinnamon and pine.
The kitties liked it better than what I usually use.
Hopefully is does its job!

Monday

I went camping Saturday with my friend Kelly and her wife Erin. My daughter came along to fish but was going to go home rather than spend the night.
Unfortunately none of us thought to check the weather report. Around 9 PM the skies went dark, it began raining with lightening and powerful winds that pulled our tents up. We ended up "singing in the rain" and laughing our asses off. It was a blast!

We ended up going home and met up the next day at my house for lunch and to play Cards Against Humanity. It was a great time.

Today I went to daughters apartment while she was at work. I bought a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card and put them on her dining table.
I also cleaned her apartment and finished up laundry that she had started at some point.
She has been depressed I think. Her work is very stressful right now and the racial divide in our country really makes her heart hurt.
She'll be ok. I just wanted to do something nice for her.
You know?
Because I love her. 

Saturday

He was on the siding outside my house.
I like his colors.


I'm going camping today with my friend Kelly and her wife.
I'm looking forward to it.
I am a little worried that maybe I'll want to come home once it gets dark.
Before I knew I was going to go camping I watched you tube videos
 about families murdered while on camping trips. I wish I hadn't watched it!
I have 2 hand guns of boyfriends but they scare me. So I won't be bringing them. I was thinking I could bring some mace and a knife.
I'm just not sure.

I filed my taxes yesterday.
The tax people are too expensive so
I decided to do them myself. I did talk to a tax person first
for a little help. I think I did everything right. It feels good to have it done. Next year I'm going to file early.

Orange man infuriates me. I just have to say it. The media also pisses me off. Politicians and media =liars.
They all make me sick.

Friday

I bought the kitties new blankets from the dollar store. Woody loves his.............

Mr Bojangles has allergies. That's why his eye looks funny. My poor baby!

There's a grade school down the street. Their dumpster is full of desks and chairs. The chairs are adorable. The desks are solid wood and very old. Probably 50 years old.

I took one. I don't have a plan for it yet but I will have one soon.

Tuesday

Do you ever want to tell the computer female voice at the self checkout at the grocery to shut up?

Some of the time she drives me nuts.

After my cat Woody wakes from a nap he comes to me to be held.

It reminds me of when my kids were toddlers and would wake and want me to hold them. lol It makes me smile and makes my heart happy.

Last evening we had a heavy rain with frequent thunder.

It was wonderful.

It's relaxing and comforting to me.

I've been on the lookout to buy a new kitchen table for about a year.

I can't find what I want.................not that I know what I want.......but I do know what I don't want and that's all the stuff I've seen.

I was wondering if I'd be able to make a kitchen table myself.

Sunday

Happy 4th of July.

My new neighborhood 

rocked this 4th.

So many neighbors

were setting off fireworks.

It was pretty cool to say the least.

Boyfriend would have loved it.

Friday

I went to summer camp when I was 8 or 9 years old.
My 7/8 year old sister went with me and we stayed in the same bunk cabin with about 6 other girls and one counselor.
I remember my first day there I went to the nurses office and told her I had a stomach ache. Really I was just home sick but didn't know how to say it. The nurse gave me a "mild laxative for constipation" (LOL) and I remember her calling my mom to fill her in.........
Eventually I settled in and had a fun time.

Wednesday

I bought some pretty cool fireworks for the 4th.
Boyfriend used to spend a fortune on them.  I bought them to honor him in a small way.

My Covid-19 antibodies test came back positive.
I'm hoping to donate blood that can hopefully help others.


I have so much to do as far as yard work goes.................I feel a little overwhelmed........when I feel that way the best thing to do is to just get started. So that's what I'll do.
