Looks like another week of rain, snow, and nasty weather in general. I know March is fickle, but I am so ready for warm weather to stay. The 70 degree days we have had really perk a person up. I want to put some potted plants out tho I know better, one year in April I had them out, and had to carry them all in when we had a near frost spell.
I cannot wait to see everything green and colorful and to lay awhile in the hammock watching the sky and leaves. Will soon be the season to paint and redo and perk up the house and yard. And I will be in a good mood when I am warm, and hopefully back in the mood to get more daily exercise. I really need that too.
Lets let this little red snowbird enjoy some warmth.
March is here, I am now a "landlady", and am looking forward to summer. I feel so much pressure off of me with getting the house rented, so am free of the utilities. And hoping not too much goes wrong with it in the first year, so I can get some rental funds built up to keep it in good shape. Because I do want to eventually sell it.
I hope we can do some fun things this summer. Worry some about the fact that Jim or I one have some bad days when we do not feel good. Getting old is a bitch.
Hoping we can go to WV this summer, and also maybe to Branson for a few days. And of course to the casino...it is close and does not take a lot of effert.
For the first time in 6 years, I feel free and though some quilt comes with that, it is still a good feeling.
Will also be looking forward to summer and swim aerobics.
Maybe I can have a few good years before I begin to fall apart.
Went to a "cousins Luncheon" today and had a very good time. Vickie fixed a wonderful meal, we looked at some old pictures, and had a fun visit.
Has been a crazy weekend regarding Mom's house. Have someone who looked at it to rent, they had not called back yet when the realtor called to see if we rented yet, as she had a buyer. When we got home had a message the renter wanted the house. After talking to the realtor later, the buyers wanted to offer a deal that was not great, 74,000 and us pay 3000 of their closing. Told her would do 79,000 and pay the costs. Then it got more complicated as they would have to get an appraisal from loan co. We decided if we messed around with the buyer since they wanted us to come down more, we might lose a buyer and a renter. So we are going to become landlords at least for a year. The renter wants to sign an agreement for 1 year.
At least we can finally get some money coming the other way as we are into over 10,000 spent over the past few years for expenses with nothing coming in from it.
Think maybe I can do a happy dance.
Jim's family came Thurs. Feb 13th. It was a nice winter break. We had a good time visiting. All of the kids except Eric who was out of town got to see them. We had a great time visiting and catching up, after not seeing each other for a long time.
Have not had a flair up in any joints for a long time, but Sat, 15th wrist began hurting and by end of day back of hads had inflamation and were painful. Have been taking Ibuprofen and pain pills, with heat treatments and by tonight it looks like it is fading away. Know after I sleep tonight I will wake up stiff and hurting, but movement and heat will get them moving. I can make a fist tonight.
Hope my Methotrexate treatment is not going to begin to fail.
Feb 10th I closed Mom's bank account out. Had an unexpected meltdown after I left the bank. Guess I am not ready to watch the music and pictures from her service yet.
I saw a Valentine Balloon the other day and thought, "I need to get one of those for Mom". Guess I will have those moments.
