I'm beginning to get fairly well settled in my new home. And...I love it! For the past three days I've been cleaning windows (inside and out) and wooden venetian blinds. Lots of them! 8 windows in living room, 7 in master bedroom, 1 big wide double window in dining room and 1 in kitchen. All that's left is the guest room...and it'll just have to wait.
Well...it's now 24 hours (or more) since those first two paragraphs were written...and my how stuff changes!
My camera decided not to work...wasn't batteries...finally got it to turn on...took pix...thought I was downloading them...but now can't find them. Got message "no new photos"...and my sweet disposition thought: Oh my...maybe I need a new camera. SO.....I went to Wally world and bought a new camera. Not a real high dollar fancy job...that would be a waste for me...but a nice little Nikon. SKINNY!!!!! I'm still learning but I think I like it. So..now I'll try to add some photos to this post:
Photos1 - 2 - 3 above..add about 4 hours time...and you get photo 4!! Wasn't too tough at all...once I figured out that #6 screws are not #9 screws. Kept thinking "well...these aren't gonna be big enough to support this...", then figured out I was using the wrong hardware! DUH!
These are living room windows...now clean inside and out and wooden blinds wiped down individually with a damp rag...sorry, but Swiffer just doesn't do it for me.
And hidden behind these drapes are three more just like the living room windows...these are in the master bedroom however.
And this one is in the dining room...and there's another one in the kitchen (and two more in the guest bedroom..but they aren't done yet!) Remember "back in the old days"...ever go to the library and look something up on a fish (fiche???)...and after awhile you feel like you're going to tip over and fall off the chair? Well...cleaning blinds does that too!!!
And the latest news of the day: someone (much nicer term than I've been using) hit my mailbox and polycarts in town at "my other house"...the one that is sold and we close on Monday. WHY couldn't they have waited one more week? Anyway..no great damage other than I need to get a new mailbox post and mailbox put up for the new owner. Tomorrow.... already got the handyman lined up.
If I'm not drunk Monday evening I'll not know why! This has been the most frustrating house sale I've ever been involved with...and I've been in a few. More on that MAYBE after I have her money in my hands! Ok...one short story....long small window beside front door...frosted design but one can still see through it...I'd had plain white contact paper on it, but had removed it when I put the house up for sale. I mentioned that to the buyer at the time of inspection (as she'd commented that she'd need some covering on that window)... So....she called me...asked if I still had that contact paper! HUH? Yeah...sure...No, I threw it away. Then she wanted to know if I had anymore and I told her no....and the beat goes on! See, I told ya so! Come on, Monday!!!!!
Count your blessings.... I do. Oh yeah...been a little rainy or rainy-ish here...haven't ridden much in the past few days...but I have about 3600 miles for the year so far! And I've lost a few pounds too..and with my diet that IS amazing!!! Micky D's 3/$1 chocolate chip cookies...VERY familiar with those!
