I finally found out how to upload photos on here.

$23.09

That is the amount of money I found in DH wallet last week. It is nice to know that he did not die pennyless. I am still hoping to come to the Valley for Thanksgiving, but it could change. I haven't found a place to board dog and cat for the holiday. My house is supposed to get the fence Mon. I still haven't found a painter. If I painted the bedroom my favorite color, it would be red, and a red bedroom in a South facing room, or any other room for that matter would be a bit over whelming. I am thinking of a nice blue green for the living room. I have found a color called lavenderbeige the is kind of pretty. It might work for the bedroom. Life for me is so overwhelming right now that it is a struggle on most days just to get out of bed and get to work. This is not the best time of year in the best of circumstances, and this year is exceptionally unbest! Being widdowed right in the middle of moving is definitly not a good time. I feel over stressed trying to move because I do not have the strenght to dig out all of the 20 years of accumalated stuff. Even worse DH lived in this house with his mother since the 1960s and they were both huge packrats. Except for the first 5 years of our marriage he lived here, in the old house I am in. After 8-9 hours on my feet at work all day, it is all I can do to feed the critters and myself. I fall asleep in the chair I sit in to watch TV and eat supper in. I then wake up around 2 or 3 in the morning. Then, after going to the bathroom, letting the dog out, and then back in again, it is almost time to get ready for work, but I take a drink and then try to get some more sleep. often I then have nightmares, and when the alarm goes off, I can't get up. akkk!

Still not in

I am still not in the new house. I did manage to get the keys. Last week one of my Realtors helpers finally crawled into the garage and got the keys out of it. When we got in the house I still needed to flip on the circuit breaker in order to get the electricity reset. It didn't work that day. I tried again last Monday and surprise, surprise it worked. I did the same thing to the breaker as I did on the Friday before. It worked that time. I have a suspicion that the electric company came over to the house before I got there and did what they should have done the first time, but didn't. I am still waiting for the fence people to put up the fence that I need before I can move in. I am supposed to meet with a painter on Thurs to get an estimate on what he will charge and when he can do it. I still haven't been able to decide what colors I want in the bedroom and the living room. still cannot get into the garage with the automatic door opener. I have tried and tried to get it to work. Finally Jay told me that it needed a new battery. Now all I have to do is find where the battery goes and replace it. Don't forget the screwdriver! It has been such a pain to get into the new house and all settled in, that I am not going to be to kean on moving for awhile. Pi.day Dave I do want yo go to the Valley for thanksgiving. It will depend on weather I can get a place to board the dog and someone to board the cat or come in and check on her. Plan on me going unless I let you know. It sounds like something I need right now.

Just a nite.

I will write more soon. I have got the house. Now all I need is the keys. We will move in within the next too weeks. As soon as hey put up a fence and I can get the bedroom and livingroom/dining areas painted different colors. Hunter Green is way too dark on the walls, and baby poop tangreenishyellow is awful for the bedroom. I think something in the pink/rose range for bedroom. For dining/livingroom I don't know yet. Suggestions anyone?

HI

Happy Birthday bro!

MORE RAIN

Well, DH has joined the ranks of the sick husbands. He was admitted to the hospital this afternoon, It is for the same ailment that he was in for the last three times. It has been 2 years since the last admission, but this means that I will be unable to come to Ls funeral tomorrow,seeing as I have to deal with DH up here. It is for a small bowel obstruction. It is a good thing I came home for a lunch break today. DH had to sign some mortgage papers etc. I called work and told them that my DH was ill and that I needed to get him to a Doctor or the emergency room and that I wouldn't be back to work today. Is this eerie or what, I got him in today and the symptoms started today, so I got him in right away. I recognize the symptoms now and get him taken care of ASAP.He almost died the first time I took him in because he had been sick for two weeks.

INFO

Hi! I am still in my old house. We have not jumped through enough hoops yet to get the HUD loan. We still have the final hoops to jump through. This is extremely difficult for us to do since we both have arthritis in our knees and can barely walk, let alone JUMP. The final process is set to take place at 9:00 a.m. Wed. Hopefully we can then get on the road to closing this deal. I called Mom last night and she has the address of the new house. The zip will be the same and so will the phone number. I can e-mail the address to some of you, but I do not have every ones e-mail addresses. Wyo sis and Pi day Dave I have not been able to find your addresses, also Hillbilly sis I am not sure if I have yours. The house is a 3 bedroom, two bathroom rambler. It has been completely gutted and has new custom made kitchen cabinets, granite counters. It has air conditioning and a new roof. It has sprinklers for the lawn. Two huge trees in the front yard, they are either chestnut or black walnut trees. I am not sure which one. It has round smooth nuts( the outer coverings are smooth green coverings). There are grape vines on the fence and a few smaller trees in the back yard. There is also a covered back patio area just out the back door. It has a 2 car garage with a garage door opener. It also has a workshop. There is a 60 square foot basement storage area. sort of like a root cellar. The present owners are going to fence the backyard and put in two gates. They have already cut down the dead tree that was in the yard and trimmed away the branches that were on the roof. It is wired with fiber optics throughout the house. It has a really nice master bedroom with CLOSET SPACE.The outside of the house is aluminium siding. It has a front porch. The siding is a sort of yellowish tan color. Not my favorite, but I can live with it. It is on the corner of a cul-de-sac. It has double pane windows with blinds (I think the blinds are inside the windows, but I can't remember for sure) that is they are between the two panes of glass. I hope we can get into it by the end of September.
