“Oh I’m newly Calibrated…all Shiny and Clean”

Weird, but I'm feeling a lot like that song quote above.  The bank came through yesterday and gave me back the $1,000 that was missing.  Woohoo…breathing room! I finally got a full night of sleep, after cleaning the kitchen and mopping the floor, including the entry way.  I think I know how to proceed on this divorce thing, so I feel relieved about that.  I made plans for 4th of July and a week in Mexico for Thanksgiving next year with some special friends.  I'm feeling like everything will be ok. Yes, I know that I'll come down from this vacation euphoria and that I'll get gobsmacked with bad days, but for now I'm blowing sunshine out my…well, you know.

 

On tap for the weekend, raking in the yard, vacuuming the house, getting in a couple of hours of bedroom cleaning,  some laundry, but most important…hanging with friends!!!  Tonight I'm getting together with Kel and Vicster…they're always a blast. Sunday I'm getting together with Timmaaayyy and his wife Vicki.  How blessed can I be to have great friends to spend time with?  With a little luck, I can get the Beanster next weekend and all will be right with my little world.

 

Next question on the list…What to do for Thanksgiving?  My Mom has Thanksgiving invitations, so that is good.  I'm thinking about blowing off Thanksgiving this year, getting in the truck and just driving.  Where?  Don't know.  I love to cook and stuff, but the thought of it not quite being the same is a little daunting. There's always friends to spend it with, which is extremely cool, but I just don't know.  Any suggestions out there? 

 

Also thinking about the possibilities of the CH house I'll be living in next year.  What do I want to do with it?  What kind of renovation?  I'm thinking that I want to enclose the yard and make a courtyard out of it for entertaining friends, and myself.  Plus, JazzyKat will feel safer about lounging in the yard if it's enclosed.  I'm thinking an outdoor firepit, a new grill, lights in the trees, etc.  How much will that cost?  If I enclose the Carport and expand the house a bit, and redo the inside, how much will that cost? I have a friend that will do my floors for me…so I feel good about that.  How much will it cost to put of a 3-4 foot wall around the property?  It won't need to go all the way around, just on the two facing roads.  How much can I do myself? How much will I save doing it?  Where do I find all this information and read up on it?  Why am I asking questions like a two-year old?

 

Ah well.  We shall see what the future will bring.
