why do I do that
Just puttering around this morning. I have lists of lists. What needs to be done today, what needs to get packed for the weekend, and what I need at the grocery store. Got my walk in early, but what a long walk it was.
When the hubby got home early last nigt, he decided to go up town for a beer. I said lets got to the place that has the best potatoskins around, they will go with pork chops for supper. We sat out on the patio at the bar. What a great evening outside. But when we got home we broke out the beer I had stashed for this weekend. Sat out on our deck watching the most perfect sunset. Dinner was late, and I drank too many Bud Lites. I have been trying to avoid beer, it packs on the pounds so quickly for me. So this morning my head was kinda fuzzy, and my stomach rolling. Gosh I hate that feeling. Why do I do that?
The nephew is going back up north for the weekend. I am glad he decided to go and see the hubbys ex. I would have felt bad if he had nothing to do over the long weekend. Pretty boring around here by yourself. J got him back to work. He ended up only being laid off for one day. Things have been going smoothly with him around. He knows what is expected of him, and has been holding up his end.
The realtor called yesterday to tell us the river house we had looked at had dropped in price again. I told her I didn’t see it in our future, but thanked her for all of the time she has given us. J and I decided what we really want is to get back on a farm. That is where we would be the happiest. He has set in motion his 2 year plan on getting us there. Just really need the housing market to pick up. There are 2 houses on our pond that have been for sale. And they have remained that way since January. Not a good time to sell.
Today is property tax day. That will be a painful check to write out. But thankful we have a roof over our heads, and enough money in the bank to pay them.
Better get back to my lists. The dogs don’t know it but they are next, baths for them both
boy do i know what it’s like to have a list of lists, lol. i don’t know why we do that either…but it’s hard to resist an evening of “letting down” and with a perfect sunset to boot???? a farm huh? like with animals and everything? poor pooches….not knowing what’s coming, lol.

Hi there! I was diary-jumping and thought I’d welcome you to OD. I used to write at InTheWire and came here when they went under, so I know how it feels to lose your ‘home’ Hope things work out with the nephew – it sounds like a very frustrating situation. Take care,

HI Liz, I’m here, actually – I arrived before you went away for the long weekend but I was still finding my way around. It’s not Mdd, but it’ll do.(Glad the nephew is going back up north, You’ve been an angel and J – a fairy-god-father to the young man.) Good to be back in contact. Love ya, Emmi xx
