Chipping and Hacking

My 4 year blog anniversary just passed me by...oh well

I've been remiss on reading blogs lately and I'm sorry for that

Before my ex and I were separated, I started all these remodeling projects around the house. The past few months, I've been chipping away at getting a few/lots of things done around here. It's almost starting to feel like my own house instead of "the house we all used to live in as a family". It's a pretty good feeling.

I've had "Randy", a guy I worked with for awhile doing home remodeling, here off and on for two months. He was low on work and I needed a good but reasonable worker so it worked out well for both of us. Charity both ways LOL

I can't do a whole lot, but a little each day is making a difference. I started the Attic Project like years ago and never got around to going through the stuff. That huge pile is being tackled. My saying is "how do you eat an elephant" "one bite at a time". I can hear Peter Walsh in the back of my head giving me advice on getting rid of stuff. It's working!

I'm trying to sell the camper and you know I just sold the golf cart. Whew. That lake part of my life is over since Rooster turned into a mean old woman. David has mixed emotions, but he can get a camper when he gets married and has kids. Not my job to provide one for him. Right? Yep.

I don't want anything extra to maintain. My house and yard is enough for me.

I actually feel like I'm making some progress on this end as far as moving on. Good days and not so good, but I'm so very, very, very thankful. You won't hear any whining or complaining from me!!

David just got some great news about his job. First, he's going to still be employed at his current location (budget cuts), plus he's taken over the daily operations while his boss tries to manage two hospital public safety departments. Whew. He's going back to Alabama next week for another FEMA class. Notches in the old belt.

He moved into his apartment last August across town and I have yet to visit LOL. His schedule and life just gets in the way. I'm fine with it. All I've ever wanted was for him to stay in the same town, do his thing and I do mine. It's all really good.

Wow. Okay. I can shut up now. This was an unexpected post.

Oh..."hacking". I went to Lowe's yesterday to get a new weed sprayer, wire shelving and a hacksaw blade to cut said shelving. Low and behold and yippee..they cut it for you!! Electric bolt cutter and saved me about a month hahahaha of sawing the darn things! I was so excited I'm sure the guy thought I was crazy. I don't get out much and these little things tickle me to death. Another blessing...

Now I'm done. I love you guys and always keep you in my thoughts and prayers :)
