Remember the 5 second rule?

After coming home from the feed and seed store and empting the car, I went to Taylors hardware and they had 2 bags of bone meal left. Don't know what is going on with that so I bought both bags. I only use one when planting so that puts me ahead for next year. It looked like it was going to start raining, so I vacuumed out the car and cleaned all the pollen off where you can't get to it just washing the car. So a bit of detailing. Bought some straw to put between rows of the big garden. He said I will have wheat this winter as it will come up in places. Now I don't know if I want to put it between rows. I might have to rethink that one.

I agree with with Jeepers, Pick it up put it in colander, rinse it off good and heat back up and start again.

Mt. Rider, I am so glad this doctor is working out for you. she will get you straight. Went to Feed and Seed today. Bought a lot of stuff. 2- 40lb bags of cow manure, fertilizer, plant food, veggie. plants, a blueberry bush to replace the one I had to dig up because I couldn't get the 3 wild trees that grew into it. Lemon drop plants, seeds and a few more items. I am all set now to start planting. Will be working in garden in a little bit. Need to head up street to Taylors hardware and garden to see if they have any bone meal. Feed & seed said they had not been able to get any. Just hope they have some. If so I will get 2 or 3 bags as I don't know what is going on with that. I also got some rabbit deterrent. Hope it works. Still need to make a trip to Lowe's. No rain so far. I think the weather report has changed. But it is coming and I want to get my seeds planted before the rain starts.

Jeepers, I am the same way about air conditioning. I can set mine on what I want and then just keep it shut off and open windows. My GS loves the cold and if he touches my air conditioner again he's in big trouble. I woke up in middle of night last summer freezing as he turned it down to 64 one night after I had gone to bed. If he does it again I am going to turn it off and shut it down at the breaker box. That should do it. When I do need the air conditioner, It is usually kept at 75. That for me is comfortable in 90 plus degree weather. I am sore and my right arm is killing me. Yes, I over did it again. Advil tonight and a hot shower. Going to Feed and seed tomorrow. Making a list of what I need. It is suppose to rain tomorrow. So will do some garden shopping.

OK, I goofed. It was 2 feet one each side of garden and one foot on end. MM, I plan to use some of those branches for the big pots I have. I cut off a lot of low branches on 5 trees. One trees. 2 on side yard and one in front yard. The other 2 trees are on each end away from the garden but some branches were hanging over 2 ends of the garden. Now I will have more sun there. I just quit for the day. I am tired. My git up and go got up and went. I need a nap but to late now for that.

OK, I must be nuts. I just made work in garden harder. I extended the garden by 8 inches. 4 inches on each side and 4 inches on one end. Then I cut down a lot of tree branches to get more sun on the garden. More seeds to plant and a bit longer rows. Now I have to clean all that out. But it will be worth it.

for both DH's for VA and Mt. Rider. All the food sounds good. I made lemon turnovers to share. We went back to being cold again. Low high 40's to low 50's at night and in mid 50's to mid 60's during the day. Getting warm enough to get back outside again to work the garden. Hoping now we won't have another freeze but thinking we had the last one already. So still hot tea to go with our goodies. To cold yet for lemonade. I can cook up a nice batch of fried chicken to go with that BBQ

Miki, I hope peanut butter gets better with your new treatment. Do you have Dominion Energy? I have had a few friends that now has the smart meter and they said their bill went up by around $200 a month. Seems strange that some people's didn't go up and others did. I can't say how mine will be till it is all said and done. But my bill right now even with air condition is still low. I need to go to T-Mobile To check on their internet. I am now paying $80 for Spectrum internet and T-Mobile is $50. I have the T-Mobile phone and it is $50 a month. They don't go up on their prices. I have been checking into the internet and everyone that has it said they love it. No issues with it. So need to head down there. Going to be raining starting tomorrow so will go on a rainy day as I am saving the good days to work in garden.

Wow Jeepers, Those kids parents better have a really good savings. That is going to cost them. Your mess looks like my mess from my construction. They really fixed it so you can't get to your stuff and pack it all up. I agree time to go after insurance company. I need to get on the stick and get that garage cleaned out. Then get GS moved out so I can get the rest of house finished. I got the notice that they are going to put a smart meter in my house. We have Dominion Energy. I have been doing alot of research on the smart meters and found one from a doctor. I can't get it to come over to here. The site is amymyersmd.com/articile/dangerous-smart-meter#Dangers of Smart Meters Know the Truth. In between the spaces is the line that goes under the blank spaces. The key won't work. She is an MD and has studied up one this meter. I have already heard about how this is working here from others that already have it. We have no choice but can call to opt out but it takes 30 days to do it. I was on phone with Dominion for a good while Talking with them. She lied about the increase in price and I told here about the issues with the radiation. The RF radiation can cause cancer Also the other type of radiation is EMF electromagnetic radiation and they haven't studied up on the health issues. I was able to opt out. But a smart meter will be installed till the paperwork is done. She is sending me the papers to fill out and then I have to send them back. But from what This MD said it causes Fatigue, cognitive problems, Brain fog, irritability, anxiety, memory loss and can cause cancer. This radiation will be all over your house in the air and you are breathing it in. Once they get the paperwork, They will come out and take the smart meter out but I will still have a smart meter. All they do is take out the chip and it becomes a non communication smart meter. They will come out to read meter every other month and I would be billed every other month instead of monthly. This is the funny part. They said my meter was old and non functional. You don't want to know where that story went. But anyway, I asked questions about the meter based on what some friends of mine said that has the smart meter. Will my bill go up and of course Dominion said no. Wrong. My friends bill went up about $200 a month. For me I will be paying $15 a month for them to get out of truck and come up to meter to read it. With my old meter I have now, they just drive by and read it. No getting out of truck. Told her that didn't make sense. Also one of my friends opted out and now they are hounding her. She is not budging. She said they will cut current off if you don't use the smart meter that sends info to them every 15 minute. You will lose your privacy also with this. I am opting out anyway. Hanging in till they force me to put it in. I do question the non communicating Meter. As they said all they do is take out the chip so it won't communicate with the Dominion computers. They said the cost of this for VA is 3.6 billion dollars at least I think that was the quoted price. I think that money could be better spent EMP proofing the grid. So my morning was spent paying bills. Getting things together for when my Financial adviser comes to see what I need to do with my retirement. Need to make some changes and talking with Dominion energy. I really needed to work in yard. I have been cutting branches from my back fence off. Though they are my neighbor's bushes. They are growing through the fence and it's hard to cut grass there. DH would cut them off every year and now my guy that cuts my grass gets hit in the face when he tries to cut the grass near there. So now I am taking care of that. Leveling up the ground at fence also for the 2 racks for the wood to be stacked on. Will work on the garden areas tomorrow and then get back to working on the wood pile.

Jeepers, that is what we are here for. Keeping each other up in times of stress. I am now getting serious about selling my house and moving to NC but not in the same area as DD. Reason I am thinking about it is that in VA the taxes here are outrages. Suffolk is getting to be one of the worst cities for high taxes. And it is much cheaper in NC. Don't care for Florida as I can't handle that humidity and mosquitoes are much worse than here. And yesterday I get a notice that the electric company is going to change out my meter for a smart meter. Not going to happen. Just in case I miss them I am putting a notice on my meter that they are not allowed to put a smart meter in. They can control what you use and cut you off anytime they want. That is happening in CA from what my GD there said. So they will have to talk to me before they can do anything. Got the neighbor's bushes cut off my fence but still have a ways to go. But got enough that I can move my wood pile there instead of having it near the shed. This way I can at least get 4- eight foot wood holders there along the fence. Would work much better and since I can't plant anything near my fence which is only between me and my neighbors, The wood stackers will work much better there. I think I can get up to 8 or 9- eight foot wood stackers along the fence line but right now 4 will do. But if I sell the house maybe in a couple of years when things settle down and I can finish the painting and other things I need to do, I want to take my wood stackers with me. And I need now to replace a window and the hot water tank. So first off is to find a cheap plumber that won't cost me an arm and 6 legs. it is a gas water heater. Right now the tank is not leaking bad and GS took a picture of the bottom of the tank. But I am going out after dinner and put a bucket under it. Just in case. But for now I can hold off. Just too tired to mess with it and I need to get the new one out of garden shed. it is light so I can move it easy and get it to garage. Jeepers, I haven't been on a vacation in 5 or 6 years. One is coming in the near future. Just don't know yet where I would want to go. I don't have anything around here like some of you have. Leman's Vermont country store, Amish stores and such. And a bit too far to travel. But will be looking around for some nice places like those stores but closer to me. I think God is trying to whip my body back into shape. My muscles are feeling it. This is a huge yard with lots of upkeep on both yard and house. But better a house than an apartment any day.

Jeepers that is really bad. And yes those parents will have to pay for the damages. Glad you were able to get another room but at 3 am. That's rough. I pray that you get that house in Ohio finished up and it sells fast. I know you are ready to move permanently to Indy. Try to relax and treat yourself to something fun to get things off your mind for a while. Like mountain rider said we are all praying for you for strength and protection. Also for the Ohio house to be finished as soon as possible and it be sold fast. I was talking with my DD and just like I figured no help from them. SIL is controlled by DD and he won't be coming down to replace the hot water tank. She keeps him so busy at home he has no time to himself. So I will have to fork out more money for a plumber an then when the window replacements come I will have to fork out more money to have someone put them in. Right now they will both have to be on hold because all I have done is fork out money for high taxes. Real estate taxes will be due June 5th. Till I know for sure if that will be 46% higher than in December. The hot water tank will be on hold. I have the tank replacement but need to find a plumber. Seems all I do around here is clean up behind GS and pay taxes. And now repairs are starting. Why do I feel so broke. June can't get here fast enough so I can redo my retirement plan. When DH passed away my financial planner decided without my knowledge dropped one of our retirement income. That is one of the things I am going after him about and looking for a new financial company. This one is Equitable and the financial advisor whom used to be really good is not looking out for my interest any longer. I think his 4th or 5th divorce is playing on him and he has 10 kids with the last marriage having twins. Most of his kids are grown now but I am sure he is having to pay out to all the ex's that are not remarried as well as child support to the younger kids. So time to change things. I am thinking he has a lot on his plate and not looking out for anyone's interest any longer. We got a hard rain last night and everything is to wet to work outside today. I was planning on finishing up the garden so I can start planting on Tuesday. Will see how tomorrow goes. Hopefully dry enough to finish up outside. So just going through a few boxes and getting things where they belong. Going out to garage in a bit to work on the mess out there. Still a lot to get rid of still. Going to fill up more boxes to put in car and take to Goodwill. But on the bright side the construction took care of all the corroded pipes and now I won't have pipes bursting and flooding everything. All this is just another bump in the road that I can hopefully look back on and laugh at. But the taxes are going to kill me financially. Thinking I might sell out and move to a lower tax state. VA has gone off the deep end for taxes, not to mention the IRS.

Well, we got a storm. Looks like it might be over now. But to wet to work outside now. This is really getting to be a bad day. Hot water tank is rusting out and leaking. It will hold till Monday. At least I already have a spare hot water tank in shed. The rusted out one is 12 years old, so guess it is time. Then I looked out the living room window and it is cracked all the way across. But at least it is lifetime warranty so that will be free windows. One in bedroom lost it's aragon gas and I need to replace that one as well. And even worse it comes in 3's.

It does seem that street drugs do tend to control a person.

Ambergris, His mother said he wanted to move now but he just started a new job Thursday. I have some pictures of his damage to my things now. His mother told him to wait till end of May so that he would be working at least a month. After the end of May there will be no trying to keep me from kicking him out. This is not the same Grandson that I knew. He has become very inconsiderate, refuses to apologize for the damage he has done to my house. he choses jobs where he can smoke weed. My constantly cleaning up behind him. I tried a couple of times to out wait him to see if he would clean up his messes but no luck. That is why I clean up behind him. I don't need ants and roaches in the house. Sticky messes on floor and counters as well as the stove would cause that if I leave his mess. It would sit there for days one end. If he's not out by the end of May, I don't care what his parents say is going to be living on the streets. He can go back to living in his car. He did stop trying the scare tactic on me. First I had ghost in my house and it was haunted. Told him this isn't halloween and there is no such thing as ghost. He kept it up to the point I told him his grandfather is about to kill him. Of course his GF has passed away and that did stop him from the ghost trick. Then it was a truck driving by house several times really slow during the night. So I stayed up and sat outside a few nights waiting to see this truck. It never happened. Stopped that one also. He said the house was being cased. told him I had what I needed to take care of intruders. Then it was someone is walking around my yard. I would not pull out my protection. But told him here is the bat. Go have fun as your tricks will not scare me. So move out if you have any issues with ghost, break-ins or anything else. Because if I decide to sell the house for the reasons he keeps telling me thinking he will scare me so he can permanently live with me, it would not work because If I do sell the house he would be on the street a lot sooner than he thinks. That worked like a charm. He stopped trying to use the scare tactic on me. His mother is finally helping him to find an apartment as she is finding out I have had enough. None of my family will be living with me as I am selling or giving him the bedroom suit that he is using. I will no longer have a guest bedroom as the grandchildren think I am a permanent hotel. This is the second G. child that has moved in on me and I am waiting for the 3ed if she and her husband don't make it in Washington State. As her DH got out of the Navy and not working now. They will be moving in with her mother. After GS she will not talk me into letting another child live with me. Told her I am selling the house and buying a one bedroom house. No room for boarders.

The videos were really nice.

I must have forgotten to log off last night. Didn't do much this morning outside as it was so windy it was hard to do things I needed to do. And we are suppose to have a bad storm this afternoon. GS started screaming this morning and got up and told me to close the window. He stuck a book up in the blinds thinking it would stop the wind from blowing the binds and making a noise. So he bent up my blinds. I am going to close both windows and he won't be able to open them again. I am so tired of him breaking stuff around here. Want to know what alcohol does to furniture? Yep he ruined my kitchen table. And nope not even an apology. Hoping that after Church tomorrow I can get some things done outside. Hope it won't still be raining. But will see. GS was suppose to help me this morning but that didn't happen either. But I had to clean his mess up in kitchen this morning. All I can say is he best be moving out by end of May because I have things in house I need to do and can't till he moves out. I can't keep cleaning up behind him and do other things in house as well. Mopping den, kitchen and living room floors is now becoming a daily choir. I'm tired already. And need to work on garage some more.

Mt. Rider I do hope this new medicine works for you. I am still trying to figure out where my energy is coming from to do all the extra work I do around here. Kappy, you have a good thing going on your property. And all for the good. GS left for work at 3pm and he best not wake me up tonight. I am not as sore today but still a bit hard to get up and down but it didn't stop me from doing what all I needed to do today. Got the garden cleaned up and almost ready to start planting next week. The area for the tomato plants is ready for planting now. Next week maybe Tuesday, I will be able to plant everything. I really hope so. I already have herbs planted. And almost finished up the weeding of the flower beds in front of house. Don't know if I will plant more herbs, flowers or something else but I need to make it look better than it has been. DD told me to plant azaleas across the front of house but I want something that I don't have to keep working with. Don't want anything I have to trim every year like on the one side of house as well as my neighbor's bushes that keeps growing on my side of fence. I need to cut them off the fence and I am not as strong as I once was to do that. DH always did it so he wouldn't keep getting hit in the face and arms when cutting the grass. But I am going to cut them way in one the other side of fence. Hoping that will take care of it for a while at least. Jeepers, I have been trying to teach GS how to do a budget but it won't sink in. He orders his food online for home delivery. Everything he does is on line. I have only gotten him to a store twice since he moved here. I have been teaching him about sales and coupons at the stores. He did finally get it that in order to get the sale items he needs to get a kroger card, Harris Teeter card and a food lion card in order to get the sale price. Now he says he needs to buy cargo pants for his job. Told him what stores to go to for that and he said he will just order online as he knows his size. That might be true but he might not like the way they fit without trying them on first. Either way I will leave that up to his mother. After working in garden, I washed the car finally. It was nasty. Then came in and cleaned up whatever GS spilled on floor and washed his dishes. Can't stand a dirty kitchen and he will not clean up his middle of the night raids. Note to self. Don't walk in kitchen barefooted. Yes my feet were sticking to the floor. No idea what he spilled but was saved for me like always. The good news is that he may be moving out by end of May. I love him but he is unteachable, does what he wants and will not clean up behind himself. I will be fumigating the house when he leaves. manly his bedroom. Once the bedroom suit is out of there, I will be scrubbing it down, airing it out as it smells of cigarettes and or pot as well. I will also be painting the room after I get the walls scrubbed down. He was told when he moved back here that he best not have pot on my property. So much for that rule. I am hoping I can finish up outside tomorrow but I think we are in for some rain. If so I will work on garage. I worked on it a little this evening and saw that the hot water tank was leaking. So need to call my plumber to check on it for me. If it is going bad, I have a brand new one in shed. So at least that will save me some money but I am thinking it might just need draining and cleaned out and then refilled again. It's still working fine but I don't know where the water came from as it is under the tank. Will be checking it out more in the morning.

Miki, those chicken and dumplings look good. I will have to try that one. Kappy, glad to see you and Mary are doing ok. I am sure the two of you have been very busy. Sorry to see that you are having issues with your repaired back. Maybe you can find a better doctor to redo the surgery if it is coming to that. I hope and pray everything will turn out better this time around. Becca Anne I am sorry to see you are having issues with bad neighbors. At least mine are gone now and things are much better in this neighborhood. We had 4 bad neighbors with one using a slingshot hitting peoples dogs with it. Dogs would be in their on yards and he would hit them. He hit our dogs only once while DH was in the yard and caught him. I won't say what DH told him as it was not good. But that neighbor moved out a month later. He was the first problem to go. The other 3 were gone about 3 or 4 years later. Jeepers, You are really getting it together at the Indy house. Seems you have a really good plan for that house. With all you are going through with the construction on the Ohio house you are really keeping it together. As Miki said you are a really tough girl. You can do this. Things are coming along for you and before you know it you will be in Indy for good and enjoying your GS. The muscle relaxer helped me a lot. The muscles are better but still slow to get up and down. GS was a trip. He started his new job last night and got home around 1:30 this morning. I was sound asleep when I heard a loud knock on my bedroom door. Grandma I need to talk to you. Think you GS. I was in a deep sleep. But I got up to hear how his job went. Seems he loves this job. I am so glad of that. He will get paid every 2 weeks like his other job. This job is totally different from what he is used to doing. He is learning to cut countertops. The machines he uses is hard to maneuver, but he will learn as he gets stronger holding the equipment for that. And it was only his first day. I have never seen him this excited about any job he has had. I really hope this works out for him. He can move up the ladder and he gets yearly raises. That will help him with apt. and such. He may be moving by end of next month. I sure hope so because I am done living in his messes. Yes the kitchen floor was sticky this morning and I had to mop it all up. I just mopped the floor yesterday. I did anything I could do that didn't require squatting down. Squatting down was a killer. Still a bit sore today but much better. After talking with GS half the night I fell asleep on couch. He did finally calm down and went to bed. I might work on garden area later this afternoon when the sun is not on it. It is almost done now. Just need to finish cleaning it up and expanding it a bit more. I didn't get much done on it yesterday and I need to get it all finished by Sat. as I am about ready to start planting. Going to get GS to help me Sat. as he is off work on weekends now and he gets up much earlier than with that last job. Need to move the wood pile and set up the greenhouse to a more permanent location which is where the wood pile is now. I told GS that he needs to stop using vending machines for munchies as that is costing him a fortune. He said he needs to pack a lunch but the fridge they have there is small and doesn't hold much. So I told him about a lunch box with an ice pack. So might run out this weekend and get him one. Then teach him how to pack his lunch.

Jeepers, glad you made it back safe and sound. Those truckers can be a bit scary. I know you had a great time with your GS and got a lot of things done as well. I plan on buying both a new living room suit and den furniture. But not going to do it till GS has moved out. He goes around barefooted outside and then comes in a puts his dirty feet all over the furniture. I have to keep old towels over the furniture to keep it clean. I had already gotten rid of the den furniture and moved the living room furniture to den. Only thing is, it's white. So GS has to go before I buy new. Yes, my butt cheeks are so sore I can hardly move. Can't bend down to do anything. Tried working on the garden a bit and then some other things outside. It just hurt to much to bend down to do anything. And if I got down on my knees to work on garden it was very hard to get back up. I hope tomorrow will be much better. Might take a muscle relaxer tonight. Jeepers I am thinking you will be taken another trip to Indy in about 4 weeks.

Miki I am so going to try that recipe. They both sound good. Ambergris That salad looks really good. Mt. Rider I hope all goes well for you with counselor today. all works out. Went out this morning to work on garden and I can hardly get up and down. Cleaning out 3 flower beds yesterday has my butt and legs so sore I could barely get out of bed this morning. But did manage to get a little bit done. Just hurts to get up and down today. Cleaned up and then went to Walgreen. Needed more cough syrup. They had the ones that were by one get one free. But it was a 2 bottle case that had one for day time and one for night time. So was able to get a free 2 pack. I also went ahead a picked up the wound care saline solution. I was low on it so figured while I was there I would pick that up as well. GS starts his new job this afternoon. I just hope he likes it and this job will work out for him. He has an interview Sat. with BJ's so he plans on taking the job that pays the most for his full time job. Will just have to see how it all goes.

Well, GS's first interview went well. He starts work tomorrow. He will be working 4pm till 1am Monday thru Friday. It's Trinco countertops. They install them. So hopefully this will work out for him. He still has an interview with BJ's wholesale. He is hoping to do both a full time and a part time job. So hopefully soon he will be moving out. Yes, I cleaned up his mess that he spilled and left for me to clean up today. Little brat just will not clean up his messes. I worked outside most all day. Got 3 flower beds cleaned out. I must have pulled up a 1000 oak trees. Seems the squirrels have been hiding acorns all over the flower bed on side of house. Only a few pine trees pulled up. Tomorrow I will work on the large garden area. Need to clean it out and then till it again. Going to start planting next week. So trip to the feed and seed soon. I am beat and sore. Took a hot shower after I got done and needed to take aleve for the soreness.

A bit cold out this morning. But going out in a bit to work on the garden. I want to get the squash and zucchini in ground soon. Then will be working on the flower beds after the garden area is done. Going to move the wood pile to another area. I still have about 1//2 cord of wood. But it is all by the garden shed. So moving that and that is where the green house will be tied down. Once tied down I won't have to keep moving it and it will be ready for next year's use. I have the tie downs so it's just a case of moving the wood pile and then moving the greenhouse to that area for a more permanent setup. Need to make sure my rabbit deterrent will still work. I have 3 units that emit a sound that will keep the rabbits out of garden. Still need to get the fencing around the garden but the units I have will work till I can get that done. GS has a 4pm interview today. I hope it will be a good salary to live on his own. He has another interview either Friday or Sat. I told him to take the one that pays the most money. After I jumped on his mother for doing nothing to help him. She is the one that found the house for him. And is helping him on jobs around here now. It did take some of the pressure off of me. He is now starting to follow through on things a bit better. My daughter has 4 bedrooms so now it is her turn to let kids move in with her. Which her daughter and her husband is going to move back in with her from SC. They are the ones that moved in with me back before I bought GS back from Washington state. Her DH is going into the coast guard next month and will be gone for 10 weeks. And with her expecting a baby now he didn't want her to be living by herself. I can see his point on that. But no more kids are going to live with me. It has become to much work on me with cleaning up behind them. It's either I do it or the house stays a mess. I am waiting to see if the oldest GD makes it in Washington now that her DH is out of the military and not working yet. If they don't make it they will have to move in with her mother or his mother in NY. They have 2 dogs and 2 cats and are not trained. They poop and pee all over the house and the cats are all over the kitchen counters. I will NOT have that in my house to clean up behind and train her animals. I am way to old for that mess. And no she will clean that up when she gets around to it. Her sister said if she ever goes to visit her again she will be staying in a hotel and they can go out to eat. These kids are something else now that they are grown. Other than GS, they were not like this growing up. They spend weekends with me all the time when they were younger. And DH taught them a lot about gardening and took GS fishing and stuff. But now they are grown up and make big messes here. I just can't deal with all that extra work on me now. Guess I have just had to much on me the past 4 years and then construction and house is still not where I want it to be. So just can't take the kids moving in on me. Rant over.

Darlene, those cakes look really good. And I like the idea of the chocolate chips in them. That will add more flavor to them. I don't have the zukes yet but will be getting some soon.

I am doing better. Just can't get rid of the cough. But that is slowing down now. next week or maybe end of this week I will be planting. I would love to get pictures on here but it has not been letting me do it but I think I have figured out the issues but not how to correct it. Seems for some reason the computer put my pictures in onedrive instead of where my pictures were in my folder under pictures. I did take it a little easier today. I haven't done a lot of work today, But did teach GS how to put oil in his car. His light came on and I got him to check it and it was a quart low. So took care of that. Yes for a 21 year old he didn't know how to check the oil or where to put the oil in at. But he says he knows how to change the oil and filter. I question that. I also washed towels today didn't get to that yesterday. GS has 2 interviews. One is tomorrow and one is Friday or Sat. He also has found a house to rent. So if he gets one of the 2 job offers, he will be able to get the house for rent. This will get him out of my house much sooner than July 1st if all goes well like he is planning. It even includes washer and dryer and electric as well. The house is on the owner's property. Saw pictures of it and it looks really nice. Praying this will all work out for the best. And I can get him out of house sooner. Miki, glad you have both cars fixed now. I have a lot of things I want to do as soon as GS moves out. I really need that bedroom back for my office, sewing machine and craft stuff. The living room is open to the front of house at the foyer and anyone can see my mess in it right now. There are no french doors on it and it is open to the dining room also. I don't think the living room will work for all my junk and I can't really organize it as there is only one wall and other side is a 12 foot window that I really can't block off but so much. I am not going to have a guest bedroom any longer as DD will sent kids to live with me without asking if it's ok for them to live here. They just show up with the exception of GS that I bought back here because he was living on street and about to lose his job as he had no way to take a bath or anything living in his car. So now that he might be moving out sooner than July I am putting a stop to anyone moving in on me. They can visit for a day and then leave.
