Blogger missing.....oh there you are!

I know I know...where the heck did she go? She is lost I tell you. You almost dived in a black hole but she is coming back out. Overwhelmed ...a little pushed for time? Yeah thats me. 3 weeks from now I will be living in a slightly different area of town....and we are not ready. We will be...... correction, we will HAVE to be out or the landlady will have to ask for another months rent.
Thats it for now.......Did you miss me?

Its Monday again....

Its a beautiful Monday..or is that morning as the song goes? We had some beautiful spring like weather today. Birds were trying out the trees but they will have to wait a while as they are still quite naked for nesting.

I got some things done on Big Bertha. I swear I didn't know I had it in me. The seat is out! I had to back light the picture as I took about 6 pm here so not the best picture but sure feels rewarding!!

Picked up the post for the bed legs. I am using the same saw to cut them. Home Depot will cut the plywood for me but not the post. As soon as their saw is up and running again. So that will have to wait until next week.

...........................................................................................

Today is Tuesday and its only 10 in the morning and boy do I have sore arms. WOAH!! All posts were cut. Two are a wee bit off but I sandpaper should take care of that. I tried to do a little more but I am completely wiped clean. So we relax for the rest of the day and continue on another ...........

A day off!

This is an actual picture from route 25 ,yesterday. 

The storm has come!! And what a storm...no matter what I got a day off. I got to do things like shovel a van and the walkway off. Good exercise I say so no complaints. Well maybe the bod complains a bit but nothing a hot shower can't cure.  My landlady and I are becoming good friends. I hope when I have to leave we continue to this friendship. We made shoveling so much more fun than if we had to do it alone. We were covered head to toe in white and we were cracking jokes. Her snow blower burned out and all we had were 2 women powered shovels.


I'm behind my van do over. I was suppose to remove the back seat by now and have a platform for the bed. The weather here has hit us hard and put me back by 2 weeks. But on the good side I am getting a lot done inside. I am now up to the spices...which ones should I bring or not. Most are going. Even though I will have a small storage room I need room where ever I can get it. Besides there are spices here that I haven't ever used so I am giving them to a friend who loves to cook.Tomorrow I am back at work but off Monday. Lets hope it goes fast tomorrow so I can do a little more on the little home on Long Island....mine.
     

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.

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!
