I am dealing with changes that I don't like or want. Life is complicated and I will survive. Tomorrow I have some heavy lifting to deal with and this will be ongoing. Yesterday I did not act in haste. Today, I am taking action after some thought. I am really looking forward to my vacation next mo

I am having one of those days. The specifics don't matter but my reality today has not been affirming. I am old enough and experienced enough to know that sometimes the best thing to do about these kinds of days is nothing. And so I will be in my garage cleaning up some of the things I purchased

It isn't easy to put sod down but I am finished now. It comes in ten foot pieces and it is heavy. I mentioned earlier that it is surprising that it is actually cheaper than grass seed, but an ordeal to get and lay down. I think it is generally thought that it is expensive because if you pay someo

I have a lot of work to do today. Last year my old plumbing had to be replaced and my yard was dug up. It was heartbreaking to deal with. I couldn't find a local place to purchase sod, so I found a farm and got it there. Ironically, it was cheaper than grass seed. The hardest part was cleaning my

We all know them and many of us have to deal with them as well. Stupid people are everywhere and often think themselves superior and are arrogant as well. There is a guy in the Antique Gallery where I have a booth that makes every one crazy. He is loud, offensive and rude. My coping mechanism is

It happens everyday, to people everywhere. We get frustrated by things we just don't get and can not control. My car is in the shop for two weeks now and I can't make out why it is taking so long to get it fixed. My favorite pizza place has relocated and five days after the new opening was closed

I was driving around between estate and garage sales on Saturday when I saw signs for a town-wide sale in any area I never go. I was tired but followed the signs anyway. At some point I drove past a property that I couldn't believe. It was like being in another place at some other point in time.

Yesterday was a really good day at the shop. I was able to get my new things incorporated into my space. I sold a table and chairs that I have had awhile and few other things I wanted gone. The store was busy and my colleague who I helped the day before, when I wasn't working, came in for a good

Yesterday was jam packed. I was up and out early and I filled my car and spent almost all the money I had with me. I went to the shop twice and when I came the second time to drop some of the things off, it was so busy I wound up helping my colleague and was not able to rearrange or place my thin

My property is a work in progress. I have been working really hard here for as long as I can remember. Now some seven years later I am proud of my progress and enjoy seeing the grass green up. Some of the perennials are starting to bloom, I have planted more along with three trays of succulents a
