I haven't written anything other than what I have posted here today. I did get the washing machine and dryer working, along with the oven/stove hooked up and running. There was a lot of work done that was too diverse to mention but suffice to say, I am beat again. Everything I did today brought a... Sign in to see full entry.

These are the very first words of a new keyboard. I finally got tired of the other 'new' keyboard I bought in early February. The thing had a slight bow up in its middle, causing keys to be difficult to press. Some of them reminded me of my old Underwood typewriter I used in the mid-60s. You really...

Good morning. We ended up doing far more than I anticipated yesterday, and I think I was probably asleep before I got undressed last night. I hit the bed about 9 PM, and I woke up at a shameful 10:15 this morning. I must have been whipped. My brain is still yawning. I have some things I want to... Sign in to see full entry.

35. It was 35 at 6:30 this morning! We were warm in our room, but the rest of the house was cold! We didn't get to Florida in time to do all of the work we should have done, but this will be the last of that nonsense. We didn't get as far as I wanted to get yesterday, but it shouldn't take too much... Sign in to see full entry.

We got a LOT of stuff done today, but it got too windy, too cold, and I am too old to keep pushing like we were doing. It's already down to 51 degrees with very high winds. (35-45 mph!) We will shoot for completing this task Monday. We did get a relatively new washing machine, and dryer delivered... Sign in to see full entry.
It was cold last night! I think I saw 42 at about 3AM. That's not cold in the UP, but for Florida, that's obnoxious! It's currently 55, still not a paragon of warmth. We are about to start working on the house. This won't be the under-the-house stuff where no one can see the improvements we make,... Sign in to see full entry.

Here is something I posted on FB the other night. I thought it might go over well here. V I was very surprised to find this story on FB on some page that I had followed through to find something else. This story is pretty long, but more than ever, it is pretty important. I first read this story a... Sign in to see full entry.
It's Only Money
As 'cool' as it is, I've been working up a sweat today. I bought a dozen sheets of 3/8th thick plywood (@ $39/sheet!) for $510. I also had to buy three rolls of felt paper to seal the floor below the plywood and then reapply another layer to cushion the wood flooring. Throw in four boxes of screws,...

After a productive afternoon, I had a very productive night of writing. I finally began to tighten up the manuscripts I will be sending Annicita tonight. I hadn't been in the proper frame of mind to write the story because I wasn't hearing the music from 'Jaws' running in my head. Last night, there... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm having a contest with my couch and my washing machine to see who has more money. So far I'm in third place! Sign in to see full entry.
