YEA GONERS! another month gone by. If you are like me, I slowed down quite a bit this month with my ROTM, but did a few babysteps (not like I wanted to plan to do though), and made some headway. There is another yard sale going on at the store in Aug some time so will be working on items to sell there so that will get my action going!

Where are you at since last month in your ROTM?

Diana we are careful with the fireworks. We did kill or stun a fish at the pond and did have a small fire which we made sure was put out. (we didn't tell me aunt) The big ones we have the garden hose ready and we are the older ones. We did have and blow up a lot of things.

The birthday party was great and DGS1 LOVED the garage truck which thrilled me. Of course after taking parents up there and then taking them to the fireworks and cooking for fireworks I was exhausted. DM just can't walk outside with walker and help. DF isn't sure on his feet either.

Today I'm just taking it easy. I'm worn out. Plus I want to gt ready for eye deal tomorrow. Then I'll decide on ROTM when I kknow how I am.

Prayers for you tomorrow.

Of course things happen whn you don't expect it! Lost power for 4 1/2 hours or so. Took a nap, read, worked on a braclet.
My DS2 is about a mile or so away from me, and he was back up in
15 minutes. Kept in touch thru cell phone. All is well now.
Cleaned the vanity in the main bath. Just needed straightening out. (I so LOVE being a GONer and BRANCHER!) LOL.

Cindy, the fireworks sound wonderful.

Diana, sorry to hear that you were without power. Heard on the news this morning that Chicago had a major storm last night.

Well, I, too, slowed down considerably on the ROTM work, last month, but I think I made up for it, yesterday. Did several baby steps.

I moved one of the small bookcases back into the room and started setting it up. But then, I stopped because I didn't know if DD would want it in her closet for her shoes. She wasn't home this weekend, so, I will ask her when she comes back, later today.

Tossed a bunch of papers, put away some things. The closet is still a mess, though; so, a lot more to do.

I guess the 3rd room will be my ROTM again.

I didn't get that storm or hear it, but have heard lots of roads are closed due to trees and lines down. We were lucky.

This month is a maintenance month for me.....ROTM will still be office, but many things going on here, so it will be more like whole house.

Packing up things in basement to donate, guest bedroom donations boxed up, kitchen straightened, etc.

Two jobs is kicking my butt and the extreme heat is taking its toll as well, so I decided that this month would be coasting and if I make progress, then it is meant to be. I want to maintain, not grow any more piles and just take it easy.

I know I will get things done in the office and will post as progress is made.

Smart move BL! I agree you do what you can whenever. How is the new job going?

Beagle I think I will join you in a maintenance month. That sounds right up my alley with working on getting more involed in branches.

The surgey went great and I'm doing fine. It's a little tender but that all. I got my contacts back in so I can see again. My glasses were so old they weren't much use.

Today I went and got a dress I had found Sunday and decided I loved. Talked to a friend about how we were going to teach next year. Then got groceries. OUCH! And I forgot a couple of things. I am working on getting a stock pile of paper stuff so I don't have to worry about them.

I took a fairly long nap. I guess I was tired. Then I washed the dog and now I'm doing her bed. I plan on letting her stay in tomorrow night. She hates fireworks.

I need to double check with DD about going there. I wish she would let me know for sure. SonIL is allowed to walk but he's not good yet.

Right now I'm going to go water the yeard some. We need rain so bad.

Cindy

Good for you Cindy. As far as the dog goes, mine hated fireworks, scared the poop out of them, so to speak! I would suggest some kids benedryl, following the pound dosage to knock her out and relieve the stress. This was recommended by my vet and worked like a charm. Glad the surgery went well. Do take it easy. We push ourselves too hard sometimes. When will we ever learn??!!

Dianaro, the new job is tedious. It takes a long time to get to the point of making a paycheck. I have four active buyers I am working with right now but it will definitely take some time to get them to closing on a house, one won't be able to buy til end of the year due to credit, another has a spouse who is always on the road, and a third is un realistic and demanding. If I can't get him into the house we have an offer on, then I will probably fire him as a client. Don't need the stresss of dealing with someone who is demanding and a control freak (in a bad way).kThe fourth is sweet but not in a hurry. Glad that SO is being very supportive of me in this. Hard to believe we celebrated 2 years together on the second. There are ups and downs but generally good. He just found out the closing date for his plant and now we have to wait and see where he will be going to or if he will be on unemployment for a while. At almost fifty three, he has NEVER been without a job, so you can imagine the stress he(and of course me) is feeling. I am focusing on us and keeping his attitide in place now too. That is just one more reason ROTM is maintenance.

Sorry BL that it is taking so long for sales, but have four (or maybe only three) clients in this economy is pretty darn good.
Just hope the sales go thru.

SO sounds like a resourceful guy....even if his plant closes, he will come up with something. What? 2 years already? Wow.

Cindy:
Glad the sugery went so well. Amazing! You aren't suppose to
lift anything over a few pounds I heard, so please take care.

HAPPY 4th Of July everyone! Have a great celebration.
