Do you want some free stuff? Plus diet is so important

Been a while seen I've been here. No nothing really big and exciting to spread around. Just go to work and then come home kind of thing. My days off have been really just cleaning and trying to pack things away.
I'm selling some stuff too so kind of chained here at the moment. I decided I didn't want the engine on my bike I bought for about 200 bucks. Some guy wants it for 50 bucks. Rightttt!!! Thats not happening. Selling brand new comfort handlebars for a bicycle for 5 bucks. What..... don't want to be comfy riding?
My apt. is a mess from doing the said above now even though I threw so much stuff away it still feel full. Tried to donate to free-cycle but nobody bit the bug yet. I have to give away some stuff because nobody really wants to buy them. If at the end nobody takes them I will be putting a sign out side free stuff and let them take it away.

The end of the month is coming and I've saved like I said I would, dear god please don't give me an emergency now!! It seems every time I try to save thats what happens.

After I have the van I will be getting ready in 1 month. Nothing fancy. One thing I will be doing before I leave is insulating. Once thats done ...I'm out.

On another note I have not lost any weight yet. It seems my digestive issue is still going around in circles. I can't eat wheat. I can't have too much dairy. And wham I now need to take digestive enzymes everyday now. Where does one get such bad inside like that? Its interesting at the same time...just trying to figure it out. Its so like a puzzle.

I have one more little old man rat that may be coming with me. I will have to downsize his cage but he is not as active so it will work. It will be cooler by then so it will be fine. Another item to sell..huge rodent cage with playpen and carrier. I will be selling it at a very low price. Its a good deal for somebodies pet. I am betting that will go fast.

Been riding my bike a lot these days. We have a beautiful town park that I am planning to ride through tomorrow. Its not a long trail but around 3 miles. Will take some pictures then and post.
So getting a bit tired and will stop for now. Thanks for dropping by. :)

Trying to have a LITTLE fun

A few weeks has pasted by and I'm not to sure where it went. Work does take so much out of my day I really do not have time for much else. Thats what happens when you work 12 hours days. WHEW. I did manage to get out a few times. A good friend  and I went out to the Tanger Outlets located in Deer Park N.Y. Lots of walking! Got some good deals. Reebok sneakers were on sale half price off. We went out to lunch to the Millers Ale House. Where I had a scrumptious burger with sauteed onions and baked potato fries which I shared with my friend. its a pretty mall and it doesn't really look like your typical one. Water fountains and benches to seat on outside with trails to all the stores. Most mall on Long Island are all inside. While nice too I like this one better for nice weather.
I also have been riding my bike a lot. And why not with this beautiful weather we are having here in N.Y. Its suppose to get hot again as the weekend comes and then goes but for now we are having 70 degree temperatures.

I am spending time this weekend(my weekend is Monday and Tuesday)to start selling some items that I really don't need for the van. Anyone need a folding rodent playpen? Some things will be donated to the Salvation Army and some things.... well be donated to the garbage.

I put a widget on here and that will be hopefully thats the date I GET the van. Fingers crossed!! See I was saving my money wrong and now that I have that straightened out its coming along better. My old way of saving was that "Oh what I have left during the week" thing. Now I look at what I need for the week and put a certain amount away and I DON"T TOUCH IT!

I have been walking a lot and I do have a bike thief to thank for that. I was leaving  my bike at the railroad when I went to work and one day I guess they needed my bike. I walked home even though I was dead tired. I loved that bike...oh well. So I do have another bike and I don't want to lose it. So it stays home while at work and gets out for night and weekend use. I walk to and fro to the RR now. This is my pretty girl........

I don't want to lose her so she stays home ,and stays nice and dry.

I ALMOST got some nice pics and soon want to display some that I WILL get. LOL I saw a young family of 4 black squirrels. Now some how these squirrels came from somewhere else because Long Island only has brown ones. They have been here for at 10 years now but before that there were only brown ones that I know about. I don't know where these black ones came from and if you know please do tell. Any way these where all black with feathered tails and not the mixed one of brown and black. So cute but they moved to fast for me and the pic was not taken. Darn!!

 Two different little squirrels. Yes I do love rodents. I once bottle fed a wee squirrel when its mama died.

So thats it for now hoping you all are having pleasant weather and enjoying the out doors like I am. Till next time............

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. ;)

Just a short note that being wheat free is working for me

Except for a couple of weekends where I indulged in carbs this has been a fantastic month. I have for the first time in my life have energy. At one time I couldn't get out of bed on the weekends and just lay in bed wondering what the hell was going on. I know now wheat was killing me slowly and I'm not kidding either. My appetite has decreased to about 1/3 less and I can wait for my next meal without feeling like I'm starving. I eat good too. Baking my own bread. Gluten and grain free. It is the way I have to eat for now on. And Im enjoying it and feel tons better. Win win for me. Are you wheat intolerant? Come join us at Wheat Belly at FB or not.


I rode my bike today which I fixed. Yes it was broken for 3 months now. For some reason I couldn't get myself to fix the wheel. So what it is raining here. Its just water. OK drizzling. Not to bad. But I smiled the whole way!

Labeling stuff and etc. how exciting.

 Today is my 1st new day off. I work 62 hours and slowly Ive been burning out. Its like the train roaring down the tracks. First you hear the slight sounds of a rumble somewhere far away. You see lights but not sure if they belong to a car or train yet. Then the lights are brighter as the train rambles down, the ground may also tremble a bit if they are elevated tracks. Then of course the train is upon you with full lights and if its not stopping you hear the loud roar of its horn. Well that explains how my job life has been going . So I asked for 4 days instead of 5. Mine you of course Im still working almost 48 to 50 hrs. LOL. So since I can't really do anything to my new life until I get the van I certainly can do stuff that will be put in the van. So today I rode my bike to town to the wonderful Dollar Tree to get containers and start labeling stuff.

I even put smaller ones with the chargers for batteries that are charged and not. My concern is the place being smaller(and thats not by much!)than my apt that I won't be able to find things. Im not going crazy with this just being practicable. I noticed something also living in a bigger place you buy double because you lose things and also you forget the things you don't really need and it just sits there taking up room. I threw out 2 bags of stuff that I had no need for and Im sure nobody else does either.

On the fun side its raining here ...lightly. I rode my bike taking my time heck its my 1st new day of freedom. I rode to the library and got some DVDs to rent. I had lunch at home. Small cheese pizza which I picked up at
the Dollar tree and watched a movie. Took a nap and then did the labeling stuff. I still have the evening. Loving my 1st day off.
