Writing, Cleaning, and another trip to Mexico (not me)

I was going to watch a net-flix movie, but most everyone is watching something I didn't want to and our older son has our password and is watching something, so I can't use it now. I guess that means I have time to write. I haven't been writing much lately. I have been enjoying reading my 16 year old son's essays and journals he's been writing for his school. He's enrolled at the community college here and doing surprisingly well. His writing has improved so much. I am very proud of him. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Snow on an ordinary day

We have snow in February! Just got back from a short snow walk. A pretty ordinary day. I went to Safeway this am with Greg for coffee and to buy kitty-litter for the lady I clean for. (Her daughter will pay me back) Drove out of town about 20 miles to another village... I mean little town. The highway did have snow on it earlier, but it had melted. I only slid once after I turned off the highway to another road. Cleaned at this elderly lady's home for 3 hours, with a coffee break at the end.... Sign in to see full entry.

New cleaning contract

I guess anyone who has been reading me probably figured out I've been busy. When I first got back I was really tired. I know part of it is getting out in the air and getting oxygen. The day I went for a walk with Greg I felt much better. We recently got a very good cleaning contract. One morning a friend came by and told us about it. He thought it paid an enormous amount. We found out what the lady had been getting paid, and it was less than half of what our friend thought. Anyway, the former... Sign in to see full entry.

No time for blogit :( lately. :)

Yes, I'm back in the USA, but have been quite exhausted and haven't had time to be on blogit. I have only had to work one day cleaning houses and tonight we cleaned some offices. I cleaned the one where they have very high standards. We had slacked on the dusting (not dusting under some items) and they let us know, so I took an extra 1/2 hour to make sure we cleaned it well. On Sunday I'm checking it again, as some of the dust may be in the air? I'll find out then. It was quite a shock to my... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in the good 'ole USA

We arrived at our friends near Tucson, Arizona last night about 9:30 pm. We had to unload some of our stuff at the Mexican side of the border, and American side coming back. I guess it was because I am hauling a lot of stuff and there were 5 females alone. When I get rested up I'll try to tell about the trip more. I feel pretty burnt out from driving all day yesterday. The 2 college-age girls that came along had only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before and I didn't feel comfortable having... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
