My First Social Outing Since COVID-19 Arrived
Pixabay image (NOT the actual backyard I was in…) I enjoyed my first social outing in more than four months yesterday afternoon. It was 100% outdoors and social distancing was in place. George and Sue Rebar, who are my nephew Phil’s parents-in-law, invited Phil and Wendy and their kids (Casey and Jamie) and…
About Joe Biden
The last person I expected to dream about early this morning before rising was former Vice President/Presidential candidate Joe Biden. But my subconscious is wise and my gut instincts about men when I’m wide awake when I first meet them are usually spot on, so I want to share the dream with you. …
The Remodel Upgrade is Half Finished
My remodel upgrade is half finished. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the finished rooms make the unfinished hallways, kitchen and bathroom look even worse, by comparison… I’ve painted the unfinished rooms, so the walls look nice, but the flooring is dotted with paint. Since it’s going to be…
Slowly but Surely
Slowly but surely I’m getting things kicked back into shape and placed in the various rooms, but not totally up against the walls yet because the baseboards still need to be put in. My den is beginning to look more like it did before the remodel/upgrade process began. I still have Dad’s china cabinet…
Dumping (On) Trump
For the people who think I’m dumping on Trump relentlessly, here’s an explanation that should satisfy both sides of the aisle: For anyone who has researched the legitimate, unvarnished history of Donald Trump, no explanation is necessary to reach the conclusions I have about the man. He is decidedly amoral, as opposed to…
Antsy
Looks like it’s going to be an antsy day for me. I’ve done all I can do to prepare the two rooms for carpets tomorrow. I can’t remove the final large pieces of furniture in either room without help, which I won’t be getting until tomorrow. So I have a “day off”…
Christmas Tree Brain
Christmas Tree Brain won’t let me sleep at night, so I have to nap several times during the day to get through the wait to have my home upgraded… Remember being a kid and having Christmas Tree Brain on Christmas Eve? T’was the night before Christmas and all through the place NO ONE…
Critter Corral Comments
While envisioning my upcoming Critter Corral themed room, I remembered a 4″ x 6″ box filled with animal quotes, stats and data from my API (Animal Protection Institute) days and retrieved it… Taped to the top lid underneath was, hands down, my favorite animal quote of all time (and I have literally hundreds of…
Antsy and Busy Again
I’m so freaking antsy about getting a home makeover that I’ve almost completely emptied out the Jungle (living) room already. My den is half full of living room stuff. There’s room for more, but not a whole lot more because I need to be able to get to my desk to work between now…
Home Renovation Update
Now that carpet and counter top businesses are opening again under tight regulations to keep all participants as safe as possible from COVID-19 transmission, Jackie and I have been to three different places looking at materials for our home renovation project. We were the only customers in the store in all three places, so we…
