Notice me hiding in the back, LOL. I got my dress off ebay for $24.00. How's that for saving.
I am back to work. It is going fair. By the end of the night my wrist is pretty swollen and sore. But time heals and it is going fast. I can't believe it is August already.
Yesterday I broke my toe. One thing after another. The toe pain keeps my mind off my wrist pain, LOL. My basement is completed and I am trying to grow grass back on my lawn. It is going slow. It has been so hot and dry here nothing wants to grow. But it really makes you appreciate the pool.
My son and his wife and daughter are moving in this week. Their rent was raised to $1100.00 dollars. Now who can afford that? And it is just a small ranch house. But rentals are in demand here since so many were displaced by the flood.
The flood waters are slowly starting to recede leaving behind a mess and a ton of dead trees. Not to mention tons of sandbags. I wonder what our bike trails will look like or if they are even there anymore. We haven't seen anymore houses or trailers going down the river lately so their is no new damage, just the damage left behind in peoples lives. And unfortunately cleanup will be slow and during the winter months at this rate.
We have been very busy with all the mess here, cleaning out the basement and workers all over, and now getting my spare rooms emptied and ready for my family to move in. I used them to store my old blankets and winter clothes. I had no idea I had so many blankets. And my books. Destined to be stored in the basement. Sigh. I have plastic tubs so they won't get damaged this time. Throwing away a few hundred beloved books when my basement flooded was hard. Like old friends and it seems so wrong to toss them in a dumpster.
Zoey and Chester are going to have fun with a 6 year old in the house. It will be different since we are getting stuck in our ways, but family does what they need to do to help each other out. Hopefully they will be able to save up some money so they can get back on their feet. My son being off work for 4 months didn't help. And the money they will be paying me will help me recoup some of my losses I hope.
We were just going to start back at the gym this week when my toe broke so I guess that is off for awhile. Wonder why I am breaking so easy these days. My youngest thinks I should get checked for bone cancer, LOL. Now why should I go looking for more troubles!
Well, that's all that is new. Except for what do you think about this economy. In his short little rein Obama has managed to run us to the ground in dept. They could save money by getting rid of his Czars and making them pay for their own vacations. I can't believe what I am hearing these days. Professors thinking students should be allowed to sell a kidney to pay back student loans, and his tenure. And Obama, will there is just so many things he is doing to destroy this country I can't even list them. I fear we are doomed. What job creations I just want to know? Get rid of the EPA, the UN, the wasteful spending. Stop trying to scare the seniors with threats of stealing more of their social security. Put social security back in a private fund and not in the general fund. Gee, thanks President Johnson. Good ideal. It's too much to even imagine. And now they are so afraid of the Tea Party they are saying they need mental help? For what? Believing in the constitution and God. What is the world coming too?
I was watering what is left of my flowers and look what popped out. Baby rabbits, so cute.
