Tuesday,Concentrate on what matters right now.

  I filled another chart and boy is it nice to see this go into the saving account and not out to some workman.  I hope to be able to do another one of these before the end of July.  I am tightening down the hatches here.  Not that I haven't been doing that, but every penny has gone to someone fixing this house and that is over.

     I thought I would show you some of the pictures of the nursery I put together for B.


The rug that goes in the middle of the room.  I loved this and was so happy with the size.


A picture of a Shel Silverstien book, one of our favorites.


My mothers day bed converted for a place for this grandma to sleep.


Two of Shel Silverstiens books, Falling Up and Where the Sidewalk Ends.  Is there room for a baby!


My mother's old dresser, with one of the old men my mother carved and painted.  We put this tree decal up, and did it so we could eventually move a twin bed up to it.

I was happy to get this done and ready for our little Oliver who is due in about three weeks, give or take.

Things have been so up in the air here it has been hard to keep up on anything, other than sewing and traveling. I am so happy to be here for the next two weeks I hope.  But in the mean time this house and yard have gone to crap.  I had about 4 loads of laundry stacked up, something that really never happens, especially now that I don't have a dryer. Then the ironing was at it's mountain level and I was running out of cotton clothes to wear in this heat.

When I arrived home Saturday night, I started doing laundry before we went and watched the fireworks with Lil sis.  We socially distanced and no one was allowed on the grounds where people normally watch from.  By Saturday  late I had the laundry caught up.  This gave me no excuse not to do all of the ironing, which I did late Sunday while watching a program.  4 of hubs shirts,15 pairs of my shorts and pants, 17 blouses, 4 t-shirts, and myriad of cloth napkins and pillow slips.  Tell Sissy to stop buying me clothes, it is ridiculous, but I can't throw any away because they are still nice.  It does keep me from having to iron more than once a month.  Hee hee....

The garden is producing green beans like crazy and our lettuce and onions are all ready to harvest.  Hubs harvested a gallon of the first blueberries and the black berries are coming on.  We will be eating fried and roasted green beans every night for a while. We also have a salad twice a day from the garden.  Anything to keep from having to go to the grocery store right now. Prices are all going up.  I did not even realize that the beans were ready I have been so out of it.

I have already had a wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress picked up today.  I was able to get three bridesmaid dresses done yesterday along with ripping a very complicated wedding dress.

So my today plans are to vacuum the family room and stairs, and then vacuum the rugs upstairs, the dog and cat hair is atrocious.After all the stress of showing the house 1-2 times a day for a month I just let it go, boy did I let it go.  The yard is worse, the weeding is so ready to be done.  I may not do that if I can't find the time.

Right now it is make the house sanitary, and get the sewing done.  I want all wedding dresses done and out of here by August 1st.  Or earlier if a baby comes.  Actually yes earlier.  What am I thinking?
So right now I have a coat to lengthen the sleeves on, 5 pairs of dress pants to hem, a wedding dress to hem and bustle, another wedding dress from hell to alter, plus curtains, zippers and piles.  This does not count the three wedding dresses due out in August.  Just so grateful to have the week to get things done and not to have to run to Spokane.  Hubs will do this week.


I need to make a list of things I want to get done before the end of the month on the house.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Kim

  9. Baby bomers are already being abused in the retirement homes, and the only way you baby bomers will escape this fate is by killing yourselves before you reach the stage of life where you are old and helpless.

    You deserve this for destroying your own children's future. No one is coming to save you. Suicide is your only hope.

  17. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
