thursday chatting!

Groan.....add me to the not enough sleep list.

I'm gonna finish that bathroom today if it kills me.  Then I've still gotta do the front entrance (small area) and the kitchen area, also a small area, but with lots of shelves to unload and deal with.  Gosh, sure wish I hadn't gotten bored!  The shoulder is NOT pleased with me.  Oh well.  Almost done and it'll be worth the effort.  Many times over.

The good news is that we had a rotted old awning over our front windows.  I left the building owner a note asking if it would be ok for the handyman to take it down.  Got to work yesterday and it was GONE!!!  It's a little thing, but it makes a big difference in how the exterior of the office looks.  Next up, some crumbling cement by the building door.  We and the baby consignment shop around the corner are the only tenants in the building at the moment so I know that he doesn't want to spend a ton of money until he HAS more tenants, but I'm thinking if the exterior got a little TLC he'd have a higher chance of increasing occupancy.  There are soooo many empty offices/storefronts for rent in town that it isn't funny, and a lot of those are in better locations.

It's actually almost chilly here this morning!!!  Such a pleasant change.  Hopefully my ankles will hang around today.  It's kind of nice to see them come evening.

Have a great day all.  Vibes to those who need them.

Not much here. I have to take Dad to his audiology appt. today. Then, I need to get ready to go to an organic farming conference this weekend. I should probably mow the yard, too. Sinbad is practicing "leave it" when we walk by people and he did really well last night. I think 5 groups of kids walked by us (the kids' Wed. night movie at the community building had just finished) and he did really well. He was interested in who was walking by but didn't even really try to move toward them. Just looked and kept on going. Progress, that's for sure!

Hugs and good thoughts for all who need them!

the baby consignment shop

Wow, I didn't know it was possible to consign babies. 

I stopped at the ATM machine this morning for a little moolah.  In my sleep and coffee deprived state, I added a couple of extra zeros to the amount I wanted to take out.  Sheesh  . . . I didn't thing ATM's were allowed to give you that much cash in a single transaction !!  Now I have to go and re-deposit everything this afternoon - what a pain in the butt !!

 Deb, feel free to deposit some extra zeroes into my account, k?

Another tired idogger here too. I was up until midnight doing some freelance work last night, and had to get up at 6 this morning.

Deb, feel free to deposit some extra zeroes into my account, k?

Ditto for me too, just in case Jan's account is too full.

Not much going on here.  Just stopping by to say hi. 

Jano:

Love, love, love the new siggy !!!

Morning everyone!  We've got some humidity going on this morning. My hair looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket.

When I was a teenager and NJ "Big Hair" ruled the day, my Dad used to always ask me   . . . "What did you do, comb your hair with a hand-grenade?"

Funny guy, my Dad.

Deb W.

Well, yeah Deb, I'd be happy to save you a trip to the bank also!

I'm going to walk over and get a couple of those consigned babies before the end of the year.  Sure could use some qualifying dependents for the extra EIC and child tax credit.

Brilliant idea! 

Speaking of extra kids my co-worker and her husband after foster parents and they got two new little ones this week (3 year old and 4 year old).  The stories/incidences the social worker told them about their life before they got her to house are horrifying.  They are soo cute, I hope everything goes well.

I swear we have something like a $300 ATM limit.  Maybe per transaction and not per day?  Still.  When I closed my bank account, they gave me the entire amount in $20s.  That was fun, not. 

The deck roof should be done tomorrow!  Yay!  They had the plywood up yesterday so took the opportunity to grill in the shade. I'll post some FB pictures in a bit but it keeps changing to quickly that by the time I get photos up it looks way different.  It's the first time ever either of us have had paid contractors work on our house, even our childhood homes.  It's an experience, but it's gone quite well.  And, it's all outside so that makes it better I think.

Basement was coming along and would have been done a week or so ago, but DH to redo some drywall that he messed up which meant I had to re-paint.... and I ran out of paint with literally 1-2 sq ft left.  I tried to squeeze everything out of the roller and brush, but the texture just wasn't working right.  Sigh.  It's not the end of the world to buy more paint, but I really was hoping to be done painting the walls last night.  It's the never-ending basement project LOL.  We started in MARCH. 

  another sleepy human here.  Poopybutt was awake at 3 and in and out from 4 - been to the vet - on meds for the poop which will hopefully clear it up quickly.  My neighbor had just been in with the golden and the tech made the connection that I was the neighbor who helped him out LOL She loves big smooshy Cody and got a chuckle at the thought of Yin and Yang aka Bugsy and Cody playing together. Mind you she loves Bugsy too, she said no matter what is going on he's peppy and happy.

Vanities are going in today

I have plenty of work to do and irritating phone calls to make but really just want to take a nap

Lisa the good thing is young kids like that are so resilient! Very glad your co-worker can take them on

Jackie thanks for the laugh
