..

Everything on my agenda and then some.....:hangloose:

Quite a bit...

I did wash and hung it out to dry,

Started sanding down the stairs so I can paint them next week

Since I had the sander out, sanded down a longggg standing project (2 years long) so I can hopefully get it stained and painted this week.

Cleaned out a kitchen cabinet that had the leavings of our recent reno. Now I can give my instant pot and food processor a home.

Emptied dishwasher and started filling it t again.

Sanded the newly dry walled wall in the kitchen so I can HOPEFULLY finish painting the kitchen this week as well.

Made myself a good, nutritious lunch.

Got the dogs out for a really long time in the yard.

Cleaned counters and etc

Yesterday, I took the day off from work - so I could go by DMV, see my insurance agent, pick up a few more tall boxes, bought some new curtain rods to go with beautiful curtains that were given to me, and picked up the keys to the studio, then marveled at the beautiful sunset (late last night).

Today, I'm up early, waiting for the mover's to arrive, they should be here soon. Then my next task, with the help of my friends here in town, is to put my studio together and then watch another sunset tonight. We have pearly skies right now, but the clouds should burn off soon, by noon, and the weather should be fairly warm. Cool by late evening (hopefully).

I rose early so I could get a head-start on helping my sister-in-law get some of their family's household chores caught up, while they're on vacation. I've got their laundry caught up, monkey'd around with the auto-presets for watering and managed to solve the timer issue - so the property gets rounds of watering sets late in the evening, and the kitchen is sparkling clean.

Before too long, I plan to take a long shower and get dolled up for an afternoon drive to go shopping and visit with family friends who are in town.

Right now tho, I'm taking a break and listening to CBS Sunday morning news stories on TV, and sipping on a cup of herbal tea, while Petunia sits by my side purring. :balloon:

Nothing!

Lol if you knew whats going on in my life you would know, doing nothing is a good thing.

We're talking...still living outside in a tent (traveling, actually) but talking is good.

Much needed list for around the house
paid rent
laundry
grocery shopping
and lunch....

yanno...lots of adulting!

and now... a much needed nap

It was yesterday: I zeroed in on an opportunity to be of service to an VIP visiting our work campus; I bought delicious cupcakes at a specialty bakery to give to my office work team and took them to work today for breakfast; I remembered to put more oil in the motor, just in the nick of time; and because I want a better type of work environment and better pay, I applied for a job I once applied for, back a few years ago (maybe I will find myself working there soon).

Today, I just found ways to smile, smile, smile …. They say that they 'universe conspires on our behalf to give us what we want or need', so I basked in that type of mindset today, manifesting what I want for life by smiling.

<<<<<<<~~ Contentment is the prevailing wind tonight. :balloon:

Met with temporary relocation specialist. The new owners have received a 19, close to 20 million dollar grant to upgrade the property. Work on our building is going to begin on the 19th of September and we won't be able to get back in until late on the 27th, providing all goes well which with construction work you just never know.

Since my unit hasn't had any serious repairs/upgrades in the 10+ years I've been here it's getting a major overhaul. Not all units are so I'm pretty happy about mine being one of those selected. However my sons, concerned about the area want me to move away from here and closer to them where things are safer. Which makes sense.

My lease is up in October, so I'm looking, so far no luck finding a place accepting vouchers but I have managed to get on one wait list and have a bunch of others to call on and maybe some to take a look at next week. Also J is going to speak to someone she knows who has two rentals and see if either are available or will be shortly.

I spent a lot of time apartment hunting and packing today because wether I wind up staying here or moving elsewhere I still have to have things ready for the movers so they can haul it off to storage in order to be able to do the work. All sorts of people are moving, even if it means breaking leases, things are a mess here and likely will be for awhile.

Last night I did some more research concerning the apartments I'm on wait lists for. One has a much longer wait list than we were told. The other has some bad reviews I wasn't aware of. However I've been here a lot longer than I cared to and it hasn't killed me yet. Also, the place I'm in now had bad reviews before I moved in and other than some smashed in pumpkins and missing decorations a couple of Halloweens it's nowhere near as bad as people said it was.

Anyhow we went to see about getting my name on a wait list for some still being built. It turned out I didn't have to go on a wait list because they had a one bedroom left. Just one still up for rent. Very surprising because they had an open house about a week ago for people to sign up which I didn't know about. Usually there are far more people applying than there are apartments to rent. I was sure they'd be gone by now and the wait list a mile long. I'm still having a hard time believing this is really happening!

A whole lot of work got done today, plus I got a few paper cuts (ouch, they still sting and hurt), and I got a whole lot of walking in at work. My legs feel like they're gonna stage a coup and not walk anymore, lol.

Other than lots of work, I plan to do a whole lotta laying around this weekend, right after work tomorrow. :jester: :tease:

:hk20:

Paid down a big bill; put some $$$ on my transit pass; made a homemade thank you card for an executive at work who treated me to a slice of her homemade cheesecake that she brought to work (OMG it was yummy); went to counseling tonight, only to learn that I had to day wrong (it's tomorrow night -- guess what I'm doing tomorrow, *lol*); and currently planning a holiday menu for Thanksgiving (gosh, it's only 11 weeks from now, right?); and making plans for New Years Eve (I love to kick the winter blues away by visiting the coast and hanging out with long time friends).

Today I accomplished just being present. I probably should have taken time off of work, but I understand the burden it puts on others (and myself with having to make up an online class)......but I got through it

Of course, I won't remember the week. But I know people had a good laugh... haha I think i sang to a group of women too. lmao. i am sure they will remind me of it too.

Today marks 3 months and 23 days since I moved to my new home and although I still have boxes yet to unpack (I had a lot of stuff !! :cheesy: :| ), I am feeling a sense of accomplishment that I managed to leave a really bad neighborhood behind, when I didn't think I'd have the nerve to do it.

Sometimes, as one nears an elderly type age, it's not easy to pick up and start over. I used to do it all the time, move to new places, just to enjoy new surroundings. Moving last June was the best thing I've done in years, so I feel a big sense of accomplishment over doing just that (moving to a safer neighborhood).

Depending on what happens next year, I may move yet again.

:blueheels:

I gave my two week notice at work today, right after I was on-boarded to my new work placement. October is such a nice month to begin a new chapter in my life. :stillheart:

Nothing YET but the day is still young...............
