How and Why????


Every wall in the main open concept area and mistress ;) suite is like this.
How do you not see and smell this?
Why do you think a relative wants to move into this?
I'm scrubbing with alot of help from good friends.
Fabulosa is my friend.
The floors are left. 
Engineered hardwood, hand scrapped dark wood with buildup of hair and saliva I believe.
How do you bring them back?
Maybe by this weekend I'll be able to fully move in and sleep there.
Juggling many balls right now and I am exhausted but it should be worth it.
Working a few hours every night while still helping son with kids while R works late.
I am ditching the washer and dryer which is costly.
I can not get the animal hair out of either.
They are 10 yrs old also which is life expectancy anymore as well.
Surface rust inside dryer and washer lid shows their age.

Any thoughts on floors?

News

It's not much but news after all.

I am moving onto a 4+ acre property I am eventually purchasing.

A lot of hard work cometh and I am so ready. 

Cleaning , fencing, purging, weeding, etc.

Otherwise in health news I am partially blind in my right eye.

It happened over 6 month period .

It is a Macular Wrinkle obstructing my vision.

Surgery was scheduled pending pre-op which included checkup and EKG.

Which I failed the EKG with an abnormal reading.

Tests ensued with Cardiologist  (Echocardiogram, stress, bloodwork).

Which I pass with flying colors. 

I had a wake up call though to watch my diet and lower my stress.

Diabetes and heart disease are heavy in my family.

I am a work in progress.

I dumped my occasional favorite beverage, Coke ;/

Now after 3 weeks it tastes bad, go figure.

I did lower my BP to 124/74 quickly by diet change.

My bloodwork is mostly normal with Cholesterol and Glucose creeping just past safe ranges.

Salads which I love are my staple lunch.

Don't think boring lettuce though.

I call mine "garbage" dump salads as I add so much.

No dressing as I broke that habit years ago.

Egg, chicken or tuna, dark or red lettuces, carrots, tomatoes, cheese, avacodo, etc.

See it's a lot.

Overall it needed to happen as I am anti-medication if I can affect the change otherwise.

The stress will be harder to stop but moving into my own space will help but also cause a different kind of stress I imagine.

The surgery is rescheduled to mid June.


Grandkids are growing like weeds.


6 months and 6 yrs old now.
Teething game is strong for Mr R.
Miss A is graduating kindergarten shortly.
I will miss seeing them daily.
I will still go over early and take them to daycare and over to their aunts' 
for the bus on the days their Mama works.
I imagine I will help my son in the evenings as needed. 
My new digs are about 15 min away so not bad commute.
