A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind,as well as the body.

Saving and a doggie goes to the rainbow bridge

My job asked me to work another day each week. That means 6 days a week.  We get paid a little different than most and that is daily instead of each week or every 2 weeks. So I said yes but also I told my manager this can not be permanent. At one point 6 days a week is going to run me down. The only reason I agreed to this was....yes to get my van sooner. All money I make on that day goes STRAIGHT to the van. Win win for me!!

 On a sad note....


My landlady is the nicest person....out of all the rentals I have had she is the only one I can call a friend. So with heart breaking news she told all of us on FB that her dear sweet doggie Princess has past away. I cried all morning. Walking to the train station is a time for reflection for me. I love it. I talk to god and I am thankful for that morning and life is good. But that morning I cried all the way. Princess was always out on the stoop when I came home from work. I always said hello and got a nuzzle in,she like when I kissed her nose LOL. I already feel the emptiness when I got home home yesterday and yes again got all teary. RIP little doggie....and mama loves you and hope you will be waiting for her.

I am bored of this life

It is the rat race thing that does it. It starts early in the morning and I mean real early in the morning. Try 3AM. I need to get me to the train by 4:30 which is no real big deal since I live 10 mins from the train. When I am waiting for the big old bad noise machine to come in, its just us commuters going in the city. Well not me I go 2 stops. We ramble on the platform getting into our desired spots and try to be civil to the one next to us. No pushing. No shoving. Usually.  What I think it so funny if your standing on the ground and looking up we look like a bunch of pigeons.

We are so like our animal life and if you look to see it you'll know what I mean.
I had a talk with a customer of ours. Granted she is 85 but she has a great sense of humor. She was kidding with her Aide ...."Hurry up with have places to go things to see" and then she rolled her eyes at me. Same ole same ole. She would be great doing the RV thing...she is pretty fast on her her walker rolling thingie. She is bored. Big time.
And so am I. I need some wheels because there is so much to see right where I live in NY but so hard to get to. I lived here all my life but barely touched the surface of what it offers. One thing to really look forward to getting my rolling home. Soon. VERY soon. Because I would love to see the seals in "The End"

Which is Montauk NY. They have so many museums I can't count. Bike trails that lead you into another world...to get lost in. We have chipmunks here but you only see them in the trails for some reason. I love chipmunks. they are so cute. LOL

                     
                         Here on Long Island we are blessed with great riding


Without any way to get from point A to point B except by bus or train Im limited. Whats nice about it is this...when I go I can stay for a few days. I'll have a place to sleep and it will be my home. A real mini vacation..every week. Can't wait


Have a nice weekend everyone!!!

Going to Disney world

My 1st time there. A friend and I are driving her car from NY. Guess who is doing the driving. Yeah little ole me. See my friend is retired so she lives half in NY and the other half in Miami. She went and bought a new car.....a mid crisis car. A Toyota (the one you see above)in fire engine red. She's 70 years old. LOL I hope when I'm that age I look to brighter side as she does. Anyway I get to go for free! Whoopie....and that means I'm driving for about 18 hrs. Yeah I know I'll make but will I still have fun? You bet...after my long nap.
And right after that I'm saving for the van. I'm looking for something in the 3000. bucks range. I'm not really traveling right now just want to live in it. Really thats all I can afford right now...and thats pretty darn good.
