Cooking green chili, again and tearing up the unfortunate laminate flooring in the kitchen and dining room. Admiring the stove and happy I don't see that yellow eyesore anymore.
Watching Olympic men's swimming!
Himself looks like them. Really, except I do mean "them". Like, two of them in one body. He claims his one-swimmer body is hidden under a fat suit, but I ain't buying it.Me too! They not only can swim, but are quite easy on the eyes.
Just came back from checking on the progress on our new home

I could just cry!
We got to talk with the Construction Manager while there, and he's confident that our next walk-thru (Pre-Dry Wall) will be in 2 weeks!
I could just cry!
((Kgirl))) Are those happy tears? Hope so. It looks like it's going great!

I am so excited for you, K-Girl! We contracted to build all three of our houses, the first two close to where we were living at the time. This third one was build mostly remotely, with me driving in from OH to check on it a couple of times during construction. The though of buying a "used" house when we move back scares me - I don't know how to do that!Just came back from checking on the progress on our new home

If you are waiting for permission to cry, then here it is! Have a good cry.
I am sitting here with the AC on high and enjoying my first cool moment all day. The temp outside is 78ºF. and the humidity is 87%. When it was 90ºF. this afternoon we had a short spell of light rain. That only made it worse. And the weather is going to be like this until next Monday. We get a break on Tuesday.
I have had the AC on high all day and the windows open. I know it sounds crazy. But the workmen want it that way to try and get the walls dry by Monday. Unless I am going outside for any length of time, then I can plug the huge fans in and let them do their job. But they make so much noise, that even with the TV turned up as high as it will go, you still can't hear it unless you are right in front of it. I know. I have tried. I am making every effort to cooperate with them. But there is a limit. And those fans are the limit. But the good new is that.....
The fellow in #312 that created all this mess for himself and three other tenants has been taken to a hospital. He turned the faucet on and then forgot how to turn it off. So he put a couple of his heavy jogging type pants in the sink, thinking it would stop the water from running.
A few months back he had brain surgery for a tumor. Then when he came home he had a stroke a couple of weeks later. He hasn't been right since then. So yesterday he took a walk to the corner deli and ordered a deli sandwich to be delivered to his mother, who just happens to be in rehab from surgery. She is in her late 90's. The owner of the deli saw that something was wrong and called an ambulance for him. I need to go to the deli and thank them. And buy a sandwich also. Everyone here tried to keep an eye on him, but that could be a 24 hr. job.
Wishing all of us could get out of town for a few weeks. Go anywhere that's not here. Looking at the map.
The wildfires have been taking a toll on everyone's respiratory systems.
Going on 3 weeks now. Were socked in a pocket of smoke and haze. We don't even live in L.A.!
We've all been sick with bad coughs,headaches,sore throats,irritated eyes.
We went to the Dr. (Head Hunters) All they say is stay inside. Close the widows. If you go out wear a mask.
Cali will be more than willing/happy even, to take the heavy rains some of you have been getting.
We might even send you a thank you note.
DH came home from work, eyes wide, and screeched, "There's another snake in the garage!" I grabbed the tongs, but missed it the first time. Then DH spotted it again, curled up in the corner, and this time I got it. Beautiful corn snake. I told DH I wanted to get a picture of it. Here, hold these tongs while I get my iPad. Nope, I was to release it into the woods ASAP. Pity, it was a lovely snake.
You are such a hero! Dh kills a spider and says, 'I saved your life! I'm your hero!'.
Who was curled up in the corner, DH or the snake?...Then DH spotted it again, curled up in the corner...
Who was curled up in the corner, DH or the snake?
