Wow do we have food !! thanks to the goldy warriers...... from soup to nuts !! including shrimp scampi and LASAGNA ! ALL EATEN OFF PLATES GIVEN TO US BY ANOTHER GOLDY WARRIER.. TO BE CONTINUED TODAY—AND PROBABLY FOR THE NEXT WEEK IF WE CAN FIND CONTAINERS TO FREEZE SOME...AND ELIZ DID A WONDERFUL JOb OVERSEEING while I “stayed out of her way” ..
Stove still bashes onward.... doing a fine job....now to organize the pellets---- I have plenty of those bulk milk containers ( like ?12?) just need a cleaning....
My early morning burst of mental energy---- you know those ideas you get before you've actually gotten out of bed ---what was it going to be wires.. the wire situation around here is absolutely dreadful and I had waited to get the alien tape to be able to glue up some of these power strips so now I have the alien tape and the power strips and a lot of good intentions we'll see how far that goes today ---if I could just get the wires off the floor we could clean we could roll things ... I love furniture that rolls out of the way so you can clean under it and I do have a lot of rolling furniture..
There must be some way to straighten this mess out and get the wires off the floor. As I sit here at my desk there is a power strip with eight wires going to it and I have a feeling about half of those wires aren't attached to anything else.
they're ones you inherit with time and you're afraid to unplug..
Elizabeth and nick are really enjoying the new house---- I suffered with it for 40 some odd years and never got anywhere ---the interesting thing about that house is that the electrician who wired it drank. the kind of substance that blurs your judgment.. I had to laugh yesterday when I heard nick had flipped the switch in the in the cellar intending to cut the power to the living room and the bathroom light an outdoor light and a garage light all went off
The worst switch is the one in the living room which controls the outdoor porch light that you Like to have on when you go out the door so it is on a motion detector... I believe that that motion detector light is controlled by a switch in the upstairs bathroom and in the living room.... so by the time you add a motion detector it's hard to figure out what's going on.. it makes life very exciting..
That was the old building inspector who finally okayed his wiring as not dangerous just very strange.. that is also the building inspector that stuck his finger out at me and said I was ” out of my league I was only a woman”--- he's no longer around---but there are a lot of strange stories about him.
I did see a photograph of jiminey playing with my nieces dog... so I can assume that Janine has gotten to Arlington VA... where I believe she was staying overnight.. last time she stayed overnight there she had a trailer on behind with a donkey that somehow got out and fell asleep on a neighbor's lawn and then didn't really want to get up... making Janine very worried the the donkey might have expired on their lawn... saying it was one she just got out of the auction and it was in terrible shape.. The combination of Janine and Debbie can be frightening....arlington is not the kind of neighborhood to willingliy accept a dead donkey on the lawn...... but it was live... eventually....
