A Time Of New Beginnings . . .

Dark moon (or new moon to those non-practitioners) is a time to begin new projects and begin anew.  So my project is the home and hearth I have begun by doing a load of laundry, the cleanup session will begin shortly I may have a spot of lunch first.  It's difficult as I am having tooth pain and it is being relentless.  So I don't feel like doing ANYTHING.

I started a coloring page, one more before I start my experiment and thought I'd be done with it by now but it's with gelpens so I'm having to go very slowly, but it's looking beautiful.  From Natural Wonders Color Art book.  I had to pawn my television so I'll be following the race on the live leaderboard at Nascar.com.  On and off as I clean.

Life is moving on in it's slow as molasses rhythm just holding out till payday.  Next month SHOULD be a lot better, but we'll see.  The car can still croak at any time and anything can happen.  But we're still a go for the kitchen restock, I had to change out a couple of items because the original ones wouldn't be available right away and I want EVERYTHING the day I order it.  I have to make a list of the extra things I want when I go to pick it up, like a mandolin and mini tongs (for pickles).  I have a nearly $90 Amazon order but I may wait till December to get it, I want to get my tv out of pawn first.  Beginning in December we should be doing really well.  One thing I have to get first thing at WalMart (or Lowe's if WalMart is out) is a locking mailbox.  We are having an issue of people stealing mail from our box, they got a $70 jewelry delivery out of ours, thank GODS the company is going to replace it.  I'm hoping to have the locked box in place by the time it gets here.

Ok I gotta get up and get at it, more later maybe.

A Good Day . . .

It's been overall a good day, Snoopy came home after being missing since Saturday.  He was very hungry so he's not been fed.  I was very glad to see him.  He'll not be let out to roam anymore, he'll be put on a run or just a tie out for a few hours a day.  He's not going to like it but it can't be helped, we're going to lose him for good if we don't.

We're completely broke now so I'm hoping everything we have lasts us or we're going to be doing without.  Next month should be a whole lot better.  I know we'll be doing better in the kitchen with all our new things.  So excited!  New cookware, flatware, dinnerware, glassware, cutlery and food storage for leftovers!  Break out the recipe box!

The cooler weather has helped my mood somewhat but the chaos here just shuts it right down again, especially at night.  From 7 p.m. until Mother finally goes to bed it's hell.  Be right back she's whining now.

Back, ain't life grand.  The air in here is simply marvelous, from just in front of my door to the kitchen door is piping hot.  She's on and off had the heater on.  Literally every 15 minutes she's turning off the heater, turning on the ac, turning off the ac, turning on the heater.  It's insane.  And when I DO cook oh lawd is it hot in that kitchen.  One of our investments is going to be a wind machine, these are particularly strong little fans.  I MUST have one for the kitchen, an absolute must.

So on that I depart.  Things are somewhat looking up, just one more thing would make it wonderful.  A JOB.  But all things in their time.
