TOO OFTEN MY POST ARE TYPED UP LATE AT NIGHT OR WHEN I AM EXHAUSTED, which seems to be often as I suffer with constant fatigue due to not having a thyroid. Coping with fatigue is difficult and when other illnesses visit an already tired temple, it is a different world to comprehend. Until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes, you may not fully understand the way it is.
SO many times after I have posted an article and gone back at a later date, I find spelling errors. Not the end of the world or trying to make an A in school, but still there they are. A chuckle and a grin later, I try to correct the mistake. Too late. The post has been read. Ignorant and unschooled, the mistake needs edited.
Catching the mistakes while I proof read the post doesn't always work, does it? Too tired to catch it or not knowing any better.
Waking at 5 this morning found me putting dishes away. I looked at the kitchen counter tops deciding that the small metal tray holding coffee items like disposable cups, lids and stirrers needed washed. Cleaned it up some. I filled the green depression glass cookie jar that holds coffee pods with more pods. That'll make Hubby HAPPY to see a full container of pods ready for his morning coffee. He is a strong coffee drinker. STRONG.
I've wanted to clean the counter top small oven for a while now so I took the wire racks out of it and scrubbed them in the sink. SOS pads work well on this. The inside of the oven was sprayed with oven cleaner and will sit for 24 hours before I finish cleaning it. While I'm at it, I need to clean the inside of the big oven. Think I'll do this in a few days. It will need to sit for 24 hours after it is sprayed as well. We will stop using this oven after she is cleaned since we are moving.
I'll have to work in pulling weeds out of the flowerbeds next week. We do not have a vegetable garden this year, but the place where one has gone in is terribly overgrown with grass, weeds and small trees. We'll be focusing on the inside of the house THEN the outer will get attention.
I fell back asleep for a couple of hours before continuing my day. That was a welcomed thing as I dreamed about finding a white kitty that I was going to feed. meow.
Here we are living it up on the WEEK-END. Just got back from PAXICO, KS to take the clawfoot tub feet in to have nickeled. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks to get this done and while we were there, I spied 4 old oak chairs for a great price that will be used for our oak round table that did not have any chairs. We'll have to go back over this afternoon in the cruiser to load them up and haul to the COTTAGE.
Two Alfred Meakin Copper Lustre Ironstone TEA-LEAF Saucers were found and they came HOME with me. They are from about 1850-70s. They were very popular in their day. Not so much now, unless you are like me. I seem to find a piece here and there. This is my new TREASURE HUNT!
The gorgeous lamp I had my eye on was gone. Frown. Sniff sniff. I'll live, but I sure liked the lamp and have regrets that I didn't purchase it earlier in the year.
We are off to haul more boxes over to small town America. I will be relieved when these boxes are all over there then we will have to clear out the basement here and we're not ready for that yet. Perhaps these vinyl storage tubs will fit in the garage over there and we can relocate them to the cellar later on. Sounds like a good plan.
I need to still move my Husband's clothing to the rack in the Kitchen then make a haul over to the COTTAGE. I have to hang the shirts on multi-hangers so all the clothing will fit our closet. We're going from two nice size cedar lined closets to a single closet. We have to downsize and that's the way the cookie crumbles. The closet will be remodeled later and I think I have it figured out to where there will be one higher rod for coats and dresses on one side of the closet with a L-shaped space to hold 4 smaller rods for our casual clothing where dress clothing goes on the 2 bottom rods and casuals on the two upper rods. Some shelving up even higher. Not sure I will cedar line it or not. Might be a nice feature though.
I have boxes upstairs that need brought down to the main floor and then they will go over to the COTTAGE. When all this is said and done, it will be wonderful. I'm ready to be over at the COTTAGE to live even if it is a FIXER UPPER. Turning loose of this large fine house will have to come and I have been saying good-bye to her for over a half of a year knowing this is a temporary place to live.
I have one son running this week-end at a 24 hour endurance race and another moving into a new house he purchased. Our daughter is gardening and making plans for celebrating LIFE this week. Hubby and I are working at moving our boxes and whatever else we need to do. Not sure what everyone is doing. Somewhere in here I might trim my hair. Thinking about cutting some bangs. I might cut some long ones so if I freak out it won't take forever and a day to grow back.
I was thinking that after we get to where we are moved and the big house sold that I would like to sew some summer clothes for me as I need some new blouses and shorts so I don't wear just t-shirts and jeans. Wearing what I call CAMP SHIRTS/BLOUSES would be slightly more dressy and I believe I am ready to be slightly more dressy.
I would like to try out my treadle sewing machine. Thinking about stitching some bed comforters as well. The pink bedroom will now be the VICTORIAN ROOM and I would love to have elaborate bedroom draperies as there is only one window in the room.
STILL DREAMING UNEDITED DREAMS. I may be ignorant, but I can still dream. Keeping the thought life active is entertainment and keeps the brain active in a good way.
Sweet Dreams.
HOME LIFE is for me,
