I forgot that I had "signed up" for ROTM this month! anyway, with the holiday I'm a bit behind but I did work in there today. Worked on clearing off my table and moved my printer to a little table freeing up the monitor stand on my desk for my inkpad carasoul.

started going through one basket and used one card, tossed several envelopes, a couple of outdated mailing lists, and found some kids' address labels

slow progress, but progress nonetheless...

Progress counts!

Hi all,

Went to a Dear Friends house today (the one who has Starfire) and had a long talk with her about some major issues which is draining me physically this week. She just took DS for the night to give me a much needed break. This way maybe I can get some sleep tonight and clear my head alittle bit.

Tomarrow will be spent at her place again so I will be able to spend it with Starfire and on Friday instead we will be going to Applegate Lake (Her Treat).

See you all for now

You have a nice and kind friend Sarena. Glad to hear she is there to support you.

Dianaro, it has been a busy few years and things keep moving along. The subject of cohabitation was brought up (by DBF) this weekend, but he feels I should move in with him. No way as I own and he rents. besides, his house is small....about 800 sq ft versus my 1500 plus basement, storage and 2.5 car garage. Problem is I live in wrong school district for his son and his ex's history since the separation/divorce is not good. She is getting evicted for the second time in just over a year for non payment of rent. And the child support/alimony are more than enough to pay for the houseing! And of course, it's not her fault, it's his (according to her). I just sit back and watch. I made my offer and suggestions on this and its his decision to make.

Even though I bought this house for me and the ex, he never lived here at all(only spent 1 week here). I like this house a lot. And I could not sell it for what I would need right now to get out. Being on a main road is noisy, and that is the biggest drawback, buy I do like it anyway.

But this conversation did make me start thinking more seriously about all the stuff I have and that as a species, how much we accumulate. Oh to go back to the college days when everything would fit in a car, or a 5 by 8 u-haul trailer!! Much as I like that thought, short of a fire burning down the house, I don't see that happening!

Gonna put 30 mins here into the office. Have a good day

BL, Can his son still go to the other school district? Here people choice around to different schools pretty often.

I think you are wise BL in not giving up your home. You have come so long a way since moving!! You have to be very proud.
I love your independence.....I am woman hear me ROAR!

I am going to use the tree as is. I do think I'll change the ,emoms to limes so the container by it will go better.

I am thinking maybe just getting a new CPU unit since I have the money and this one has bbeen having a lot of problems. I really need one with Windows 10 on it.

My cousin and I got parents kitchened cleaned up and she priced everything for a sale. I know have all this extra groceries. Now as long as they don't change their minds. I also bout the wood to make the shelves I need to store the stuff but I'm having trouble cutting the wood. hopefully I can get my neighbor to help me tomorrow. I really need to get them in so I can store things.

Tonight we're going out. Haven't been out in a long time. Looking forward to it.

Cindy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sarena!
Hope you have a great day!
