Hot hot hot Whew

I know this is the first day of summer but his is ridiculous!! It was just 72 degrees and much more human pleasant then it is now.
I went into the mall today just to get some free AC and maybe to just maybe to interact with the cute kitties that a small shelter has here. First time I ever saw one in a mall and they do seem to be doing good. Westfield mall animal shelter
I would love to volunteer but sadly Im working to many hours right now to do that. I will when I get ready to cut some hours. But now wouldn't be fair to me or the animals there.
Short blog...as I am VERY tired.
On one good note tomorrow will be a little cooler and less humid.....for more pleasant human interaction.

Ode to the landlady

Well I have a GREAT landlady and lord. How many times I've been stuck money wise and she I swear doesn't get angry. We all have issues is her answer. She know I want to pay. Really? Sometimes I don't but I do. Don't tell her that. HEHE. But really she has taking me late at night to radio shack when I was having computer problems. She checked on my pets quite a few times for me when I was worried about the heat. She will stop for me and load me into her SUV when I'm walking. She invites me into her place to talk. And she listens. Shes my FB buddy. And she makes me laugh. Im going to miss her when I leave. She wants one months notice,Im giving her 2 months. She will find someone fast at the price of this place.
The best thing about her is she is my friend and Im proud to say that. Thank you Donna!

Life is good Life is simple

The weather here has been so nice. 70's all week but today is dark and gloomy and I was ready to take the bike out. Well if it ain't raining I'm going.


So I wrote that before I headed outdoors and it looked like it was going to pour. So instead of taking my bike and having the bad fortune of getting drenched I took the bus. Of course it didn't rain but it sure looked like it. I had shopping to do for the week. Ive been shopping different now because I am gluten free. I bought almonds,tomatoes,treats for my pets(thats always the same)heavy cream and organic chicken and eggs. I don't eat as much but Im always full. Sometimes too full so we we are going to scale back a bit. Not by much though. It seems that my body hasn't learn yet when its full?

My gas engine bike has been coming along. I got the engine, on the chain and then all ceased to go forward as Im a bit tired this weekend. I have the wheat fog from the wheat I accidentally ingested a few days ago to blame on. Seems I'm very sensitive to it and it takes a long time to release itself from your system. My joints also hurt when I have ingested it. On the good side is that my skin is smoother and when I don't have wheat at all I have tons of energy. 

At work they decide to change our days. This happens once in a while when new people come in. I only asked that I have 2 days back to back. I really hate having one day off then another day 2 days later. Too tiring!! 
Really nothing else going on here. 


So until next time (maybe something exciting going on) Have a grand week!

A little bit of my life

Today is a nice warm 60 something and would be better with the sun out and breeze gone. It also would have been nice if the car I use for work went into gear like its suppose to. I tried rolling the wheel left and right ,made sure the parking brake wasn't engaged *sigh* nothing. So I work in the car service business right now and people do need to get where they want. They could walk,be a lot cheaper but that ain't happening today.  I had 5 houses to pick up and there was no other driver in town. Well guess what folks time will have to be waiting! I can't carry you on my shoulders(I ain't that strong) LOL. Another co worker almost took the bloody steering wheel off but hey he fixed it! I now can drive for the next 10 hours. Should I thank him or not?

I bought a bicycle engine last week. I have NO way of getting around and nice weather coming I don't want to be holed up or start taking expensive taxis! It will get 150 miles on a 1tank of gas. HMMM I'll believe it went I try it. I almost have it set up. I only cursed a few times(believe what you want) and some parts need to be adjusted but by the end of this week...watch out here I come!

Van living has been put on hold for a while. Im hoping to be out on the road by the end of summer. Fingers crossed. Not that Im not doing anything to prepare. Lots of blog reading helps! Let see I bought a cool2 fan(and will buy another)a stove, a heater, furniture Im hoping to put in(very little)and other odds and ends....like a comforter and a 20 degree below sleeping bag. My pets (rodent darlings) will be coming with me if they are still here. They are old now so I don't know how much longer the little guys will be around. I hope VERY long but thats dreaming away there.
Anyway thats it in a nutshell. Have a great week and keep the chin up.....Fridays only 3 days away. ;)
