Fear At Both Ends

When we were younger the odd things we fear. I was horrify of the wind, now I find it exciting because it bring changes. Well when I was young I was scared of success and or failure. Confession time...I am still afraid of both success or failure. In school I felt the most comfortable with a B or C in school.

I use bullet journal for planning and goals. Last week I believe I had 69 things and only did 15. Not a very good average. But it better then zero. Next week I'm doing less this up coming week.
But I did get all my November pages done, in my bullet journal

Murphy is doing better but he is quite a bit of pain. Although I believe a hip x-ray would be a good ideal. I think he has arthritis. 
So we cut a little off the log we drug up the other day. And we cut some of log into firewood length.

Just finish up hierophant card. I thought this one would be quite difficult and to my surprise it came quite easy for me.
I've drawed the three pentacles and this one is not coming to me all that easy. Pentacles are things that deals with reality, substance, and grounding. Then numbers three your dealing on joinery, communication and creativity. And then three of pentacles praise, recognition and completion. Coming up with artist interpretation.

I only weigh my self twice weekly, on Sunday and Tuesday. I like to weigh in the morning. But this morning I didn't. But this evening I did and I was happy what the scales read. So usual ones gain some water weight though out the day.

I been watching the old gothic soap opera, DARK SHADOW the one with vampire BARNABAS COLLINS. This show was on when I was in grade school and it scared me.

We Did Mange To Do

Murphy and I mange to get the snag out of the gully and drug it behind the pick up, now it in the drive way. We will cut it up later for firewood.

My hubby always in pain and seem to wear out quite easy. When we went out to fold down the clothes line, notice that Murphy is some what slumped over. His posture is horrible. 

After the snag was remove, it sure change the look to our place. Confession time...I would like to put a new tree south west corner that would have some privacy. I was thinking of a MOUNTAIN ASH or a HAWTHORNE

Early today I took care of a problem on my credit card statement. I was charge 3 times for something, and should of only been charge twice. I'm going try to see if I can get part of refund on my anti virus protection. What I understand that window 10 doesn't need an anti virus. Going to see if I can get a particle refund.

I felt my presentation went fairly well, sure they could of been improvement but it was my first one. Next month my friend will be doing it on the BOOK OF SHADOW. But I won't be there I'm going to see my son and his wife in Medford Oregon. 

I will be able to watch via net.

I start my fool journey, using the major arcana cards. There 21 cards and if one counts the fool there would be 22.  I believe every one in due time though out there life had run into the majorty of people who is represent by major arcana.  Mostly if put out your wings and flew out of the nest.

There 22 letters in the old herbew alaphabet and there 22 cards in major arcana. 

As I was making my map for my fool journey and 3 of my spot are name after three flower...Hollyhock, fruitfulness and ambition. Lilac, first love. And also tulip has several meaning depending on the color. I have purple which means royalty and then my yellow means hopeless love.

I Don't See It All And You Can't Either

 A few quick notes...rule # one use YOUR IMAGINATION...any media or combination you like.
For me I just draw a card and do my version of that card. I have friend who said she would do the court card first, then major arcana, and finish up with minor arcana
But quick note some cards have certain symbols in them example the Magician always have an pentacles, wand, sword, and the cup. hierophant always has two keys, and pope hat. Chariot has no reins, and there a lot more common symbols. Check out several decks and see what they have in common.
Three things I like to once I get some cards done...Is that I ask people what they see in and usual they will see something you don't...two I will put my own symbols on it that might not be on other cards. Right now I'm working on the hieophant two things I have on this card is a hand and apple, and I will use a dream dictionary and look up what these symbol. And once I get three cards done I write a fiction story, remember tarot is form of story telling. No one can see the future or know of your past. Two reason they would know a lucky guess, and someone slip them some info on something from your past.

Will I Have It Done.

Good news. I was please with my weigh in. I will be under 220 by next weigh in. The Sandpoint group came up to Bonners Ferry and we meant them at the chic n chop. Our weight lost group and there put on the fall rally. It was quite successful. Hopeful we all can keep in touch with each other I would like to see what they do.
 Last night I was in Troy for my quilting class.
I keep seeing place I don't have my binding tack down. So frustrating.

I doubt that we would have much of  chance to use the clothes line, that Liz gave me. We had a little repair to do on it. The guys who dug it up bend the pole. But it won't take much to fix it.

I been enjoying these fall days. Took a short walk to day.

Just finish up the next three tarot cards. After I do finish up three colors I write a fiction story on three tarot cards.
Last three I just did would be Empress, Page of Swords, and two of swords. Well this coming Thursday at our local pagan group, we're going to make our own tarot card. Confession time...I'm a little worried that I'll make a fool out of my self. I rather be behind the seen and have things happen that way. 
I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and things and going to share my experience and what I've learn on drawing tarot cards and stories I write base on them.

Everyone was important or treat with great respect in the land of Bogus. But it took many moon for people archive this.
At one time people wouldn't except difference and it actual scared them. To get to this place. First thing they had to learn was really listen what others was saying. Although this didn't come easy to some. It took my generation for some would be willing to listen, to the opposing side.

The school in land of bogus never ended. Each and every day the people was willing to listen and see there were many way of having inter peace.  And could work with others
The youngster of Bogus had a wonderful life. And were aloud to express there feeling and grow to be staple adults and leaders of there community.
Long ago it was fairly common to sweep things under the carpet and refuse to deal with certain things.
This cause great strife and weakness. But once learn and begin to be true to them self and people of Bogus was very strong in many ways.

It Is Done

I usual never think I ever complete anything. I guess there some truth a woman work is never done. Well I know I wasn't going to complete this quilt. There this spot on the quilt that I'm having diffucult sewing the binding down, several attemps and now I'm ripping it out and will try to move it over a bit.

It been quite windy and three of our fence post blew over. Two from our veggie garden and the other one from our strawberry patch. So we replace them.
I notice a bird next in one of the tree that lost all of it leaves.

These are some of squares I will possible be using for my next quilt. I believe I need 78 8 inch ones. I might want to put in an extra roll in.

I just finish up anther tarot cards, which was the page of swords I just drew anther one and it was the two of swords.
I have some ideal what I feel I need in this up coming card.
Well the swords deals with thought, logic, and intellegence. and number two is dealing with such things as joining together.
But soon as I get the two of swords done. I will take the last three cards I done and tell a story of BOGAS. tarot reading in simple story telling. No one can truely see the future.

Yesterday since I couldn't fine any dividers, and it was sujected I make some. I like this ideal. So I been looking around and yet haven't came across anything and ceral box would work great. So I have no reason to go to Sandpoint which has a dollar store. So for now I will keep looking for things I can make dividers with. But if I fine some under $2.50 I will pick them up.

Murphy called me to look at one of the sunset. I'm taking part in a seven day challenge to post a black and white photos for the next photo.

I like how bright that one tree and reflected colors on the pine trees.

Before Lunch and After

I'm morning person. I can't say I've done thing leaps an bounds. One thing Murphy and I did went to one of our local store, and I want to purchase a simple thing as some notebook dividers. Do you think they had any, no. I'll check shopko across the street. Usual there prices makes my jaw gasp open. I went and got some cheap or though was cheap brushes, for my clients. Well Shopko was charging $4.99 and at Super one there $1.99.
The dividers shouldn't be over $2.50, and I'm willing to bet that Shopko would be well over $2.50
I need them for my book of shadow.

I start on my next tarot card. The PAGE OF SWORDS and this card came to me quite easy. I will need tutorials for some of it.

Next Thursday the 26 will be our pagan general gathering. And I'm going to do a testimony and lead a class about making a your own tarot cards.
The few I done I learn about my strength and weakness I have....So this Thursday I'm going to bring a large recipe cards and there will be art supplies. Each of us will draw one tarot card from my House Wife tarot cards and do your own version of that card.
But I did type out a basic guide...but I didn't put much in it. I want them coming up with there own version.
There five section to the tarot deck...One is the major arcana and the other ones are the elements cups which represent our emotion, elements pentacles which represent earth, elements of swords represent air and the last one is element of fire.
I just drew a card "nine of pentacles"
Well first since I know it a pentacles I know it represents things such as grounding and logic. The number nine represent completion...So this card would be a good one to look around what you have completed and see your accomplishments. Today I got all the dishes done before lunch.

I got my quilting class on Monday and I haven't done anything since last Monday and I know I won't I get all the hand stitching when comes to the binding.

It Won't Do Any Good

I was going to scold my self on trying to move forward on being or developing better health. I did ok and kept everything in check. Until I got over to Liz and she has this cheddar pop corn, oh so good. And one hand full lead to anther.
So if I can learn to limited or control my self I just need to say "No Thank You" any how there no reason to be rude or uncivilized.

I took Regis to Sandpoint, and took a photo of one there murals.

There a lady who planted bunch of beautiful flowers around her place. At some time there going to be a killer frost, and I'll sure miss the flowers. I know there reason for all this.

Week went well and looking for my weekend. I bought a three ring binder to start a "book of shadow" and haven't yet started anything in it. One of my friend suggest first page could be a letter to one self.
I heard of this put have never done one.

So glad a weekend is here. Paid my water and gas bill...Coffee is on

Titter Tatter Around The Place

Pretty Much got Liz move out of her old place. As I was moving her I got wet from the rain. So I got slightly chilled.
And I'm having trouble warming up. But the good thing I don't have sore Thort or mussel.
So what left she can pretty much mange on her own. Opinion time...The only thing what left in the pile there I would put some effort to get is the vacuum.
The few other items can be easily replace from a thrift store

As those who read my post as many know I've been going over to Troy. Last time I took a short walk up Callahan creek.

Since I didn't real go to work. I did stop at Regis and made a phone call and took him to the store.
I know I wasn't even there an hour.

So I just tittered around the place. Clear off my dinning room table. I swear it has a magnet on it and things just sticks to it.

Since I was home, I posted our accua in our local facebook group "for sale" It does have some issue. I just want it out of the yard. I found this car uncomfortable.

Most of my fabric I fine at local thrift store and other bargain places. So today I press out some fabrics and cut out 8 inch squares for the quilt I'm working on.
I got the four colors cut out for Sawyer and Betty locker hook rug.

Our next pagan general gathering and meeting. I'm going to lead the group. We're each going to make a tarot card and write a store using a three of the cards.
I just got my papers written up that I will be give each person. I still need to type it up. And it could be put in there Book Of Shadow, and even part of my blog could be use as book of shadow.

I'm almost done with my miso broth and I need to get back to titter and tattering around the place.

Coffee is on

Can Handle It

I'm at the local library using there computer. Finish up with Regis and latter on I will head over to Liz. But first she has appointment with her therapist.

I'm having a little trouble trying to figure what to actual blog about. Well last evening I drove over to Troy for my quilting class.
I know people including my self does play a roll on world stage. I notice the ladies in this quilting class seem to have the income to purchase fabric and large amounts at retail prices.
Murphy and I have a queen size bed and one can pick up fabric for $10 a yard locally. And a good around figure is 7 yards. And the reason I say 7 yards, I like some hang on my quilt. So for me I would estimate 8 yards. And I haven't figure out batting or anything else.
I'll let you figure the cost of doing a Quilt. It could easily be over a $100.

Weigh in at our local T.O.P.S group I was up a half a pound. Gee I thought I was doing such a good job this week.
I'm not sure what went wrong. But there always the next three seconds. One can start moving forward to a better life.

I wear an pedometer and I notice I could and should get a few more steps in. So I make it appointment to park a little father away so I can get those extra steps in. As Regis was at his appointment I did mange to get a short walk in.

I like to get up between 5 and 7 in the morning. In my neck of woods I notice that the sun is coming up shortly before 8 in the morning.

Gee no more political and spiritual talk. I'll leave it at that before I get into trouble.

Fun Talent

Never heard of one needs talent to have fun. I went to "paint one on" at a local wine place, called HEART ROCKS WINE. I can see plenty wrong with it. But I was there to have fun. There were five ladies plus owner.
We all basic painted the same thing, and they all look slightly different. I have a "Happy Sheep" who know he miss the slaughter house.

Murphy and I fix the strawberry patch fence, re force it. Then did a little bit of angling on the deck boards, so the water will run off and ice won't form.
Not sure if our deck would be a recycles or repurpose. Most of the lumber came from the shed we tore down from the shed out on the bench.

I had Murphy take some photos of me. I thought I want some newer ones of my self. So I took what I thought was the 3 best out of 15. I know we see our self different then others.

Ziggy was looking in. He will sit by the bathroom door and if he knows some one bathing or shower and soon as we get out, he'll jump right in.
We're always saying to him....Your a strange one, Mr Ziggy.

Still learning more about instgram and I got some of my photos post, but there a few I want to post more.
Weighed in this morning, happy and my goal is to have the T.O.P.S scale to be under 221.50
I drew my next tarot card I'm going to draw, and it the sword of page. I have my vision what I believe it should look like.

In An Minute We Move Foward

This morning and we did have a light frost. I did mange to get a short walk in. The larch haven't yet start to turn color. If your curious what a larch is...best way to explain it, would be...A pine tree that change colors and loose it needles. But actual it classify as a deciduous fir tree.

A short time back a larch was remove. The field is own by a Mormon family. And they do have sense of community and family with there own members.
I guess one of there members need help with firewood, and was willing to take a larch out and gave it to him.
But like many religious organization there to much Male controlled.

But it did change the landscape. When a tree is remove there something will advantage and others it doesn't.

During one of late summer wind storm. I believe it was in 2016. That a top of tree blew out. And the people who own the field across from us, pulled up. So Murphy and I went cut and split it as firewood.
At one time our main source of heat was wood, and supplement with gas. Now gas is our main source of heat and supplement with wood.

There a few things I need to finish up. But I'm going to fall over a some what political rant. I guess it depends way you lean. I recently made a comment about Harvey Weinstein. But we have a sexual predator and perv as our President. Do you recall during the election when Candidate Trump use the phase "Grab em by the pussy" In being fair I should mention "Bill Clinton and Monica". Before social media it was pretty much could be kept in the closet. It known that President Harding was a TRUE PERV

Still need and want to do a few small things around here. The wood still need to be unload and place in basement.
There wash going and will need to be transfer over to the dryer. There were a small amount of fabric's I'm trying to get the smell out of it, to perfumie.
And as for my crafts I know I won't complete. But I still need to continue on my binding on the quilt and sew anther ball of fabric so I can continue with the crochet rag rug.
Well There an excellent change I will get the tarot card I been working on.

Are We Meant To Have Perfect Being

I  thought my ideal of waiting 20 minutes to see if I need a snack or not. My clients I didn't go out today and so no stress.
But there this popcorn, I got Liz hooked to. I know popcorn is healthy. But the topping isn't. So one or two hand full wasn't manageable.

It been a while time since I've done SKY WATCH Friday. Simple because of the photo issues. I thought the morning was beautiful how the fog wrap around the mountains.
The snow is slowly coming down the mountain side, soon it will be in valley.

I start to do INSTAGRAM and at this time I only have a few photos up. One is Miss Daisy. Well when I get off of work. She thinks I come home and toss her stuff toys. As you can see she sure can focus quite well.

Got chance to crochet anther ball of fabric of the rag rug, and it looks like I will need more white. I did get a full size white flat sheet, and it was still in the package. Brand new and it was price at $4

I almost have my empress tarot card. I want to put a swing of some type in my drawing. I can see it in my head. But I can't cognate my brain and hands to have it come out looking like a swing.

Opinion time...I believe we have a serious mental ill President here in the United States. Everyday his choice he makes worries and scares me. Although he real raising trouble with any gain we have with our foreign neighbors.
Like today with IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL and if our President keeps going this way, he  will be siding up with Putin Russia, Netanyahu Israel, and possible North Korea Kim Jong Un. I bet some of you are shaking your head about Kim Jong Un. Sure both of them is having there childish moments on twitter. But come right down to it. All these leaders including our President Trump have a lot in common.

As we're in the year of Rooster but I consider it the year of the cock (anther name for a rooster) and have you every seen a rooster strut around the barn yard. Well all the leaders I mention pretty much behave like a rooster.

Then what he did to our health care. Since Affordable Care Act or Obama care. What every you want to call it.
90% of American has health insurance. But now with stroke of Trump pen who know were our health coverage will become.
I still sport a one payer or universal health program.

Had my yearly physical everything looks ok. The only thing I need to do is my mammogram. I'm making my appointment this coming Tuesday when I take Regis for his physical therapy. But I did get my TP SHOTS

Finishing Up And Going On

This will be my last posting on the so called exercises on writing your weight lost. It got me think on how I look at my self.
But there two area I need to address is more movement and those nasty snack attacks.
I call them nasty simple because they attack my when one lease expect it. Today I didn't work and very little stress. So no nasty snack attack.
Everyone, will that not quite true. I been told by some I'm a whiz at handling stress. My husband said I can keep it together under stress...He tells me....I could get every one off a sinking ship. That might be true but after wards I would stuff my face with food. So I'm either rewarding my self or medicating my self. I believe what I'm going to do about the snack attacks mostly because I handle a stressful situation is wait 20 minutes then decided if I need a snack or not.
I'm wearing my pedometer and not quite half way though the month. Notice I haven't done much walking this month. And I know there so many benefits to walking. Confession time...I set to much.
Looking at my October weather notes and walking notes. On the average I'm walking 2.50 miles a day and to be honest this is including that I wear my pedometer though out the day.

Next thing I'll be going though WORKING WITH TAROT. I'm going to start on fool journey of life. The first one the fool encounter is the Magician.
But I have no ideal when I will be doing this.

This actual angers me. That people have to go to do a "go fund me page" for medical treatment. One of our local here that his wife has set up a go fund me page. For her husband DON'S CANCER FUND
At this time I won't rant about our medical system.

Not much done around the place today. Murphy and I was going to work on the fence around the strawberries.
I did a little that deals with crafts. Wash my new fabrics I picked up at local thrift store. The reason I wash them. The local thrift store washes everything they get but they use scent laundry soap and it to much for me.
I fill up a bobbin and sewed the next ball of fabric to the rag rug, I'm working on.
Well the next thing I will be doing is sitting up the ironing board and iron out the wrinkled.

Yesterday post. I mention facebook and people rant and raving. I decided to post a little something that could be fun...What are you reading?...Then turn to page 111 and post 5th, 6th, and 7th line.
I Know Why The Cage Bird Sings...The flames of fire and brimstone. But that was what the bible said and it didn't make mistakes. "Ain't it said somewhere in there...

It didn't stick around long but we had snow but it was mix with rain and didn't really stick.

Just Looking

Thought it was time to do a daily post. I was looking though our local Rant and Rave page on facebook. Question time...Does your local area have a rant and rave page on face book? Our community has one. But some time I think it more like a ROMPER ROOM
Don't post much there or comment. But I do read the post and just shake my head in total amaze by what other thinks. Time to move on.

It been such a nice day. And such pretty colors we're having here right now. But time to move on. Work went well Liz and I went to all three thrift store.
Thrift store has great values. I just can't paying retail when you can get them at thrift store. I got a new top and some Jammie's. They came to $4.00
Then I got two piece of cotton fabric and both fair amount. Each were price at fifty nine cent each.

I been reading write your own diet. Two things they talk about is how you look and how you want to look.
With a picture we can make opinion on someone. It may or not be fair. Then when we read about someone, from what every source it may be from.
I was curious what I would look like if I lost weight. Well there an app or site called WEIGHT MIRROR. I have no desire to be under size 12 or 135 pounds. I just want to trim up and not being dragging this weight around. So many health trouble of packing this fat around.
By this time I figure loosing weight is for one self.

These are some of the squares I've cut for my quilt I'll be working on in Troy.
Daisy want me to toss her toy and hopeful tomorrow  I will get chance to visit some blogs.

Shouldn't and Shouldn't

Weight and it went well and I was down I believe was a half pound. But I will check in my weight lost register.

After banging my head up the wall. I now can load up photos so I can now share photos. Leaves are starting to change colors. Snow on top the mountain peak. I heard snow is coming to the low level. Although if it does blanket my yard, it won't stay long.

Liz has came a long way. Confession time...I fine it stressful taking her out. She has in the past done some real off the wall things. At times I felt like crawling under the table. In the past I thought of retaining a lawyer. There been a few times I could possible see her getting arrested, and me being at wrong place and wrong time kinda of thing.
So today I took her and Regis out to the hope house. They both got some clothing, and Liz got a few extra.
We went out to see Regis dad who live fairly close to hope house.

I just couldn't get into shopping. I usual don't have trouble with depression but for some reason I was struggling with it.

I have fun looking though clothing at the thrift store. 

I'll try to convince my self fashion isn't important. But there three basic thing when I get dress I want the clothing say..comfort, fun, and style.

I still check out what they have in size 12. Don't know if I will every be in size 12 again. But one thing I don't want to be under 135. So not sure if one weigh 135 and stand 5'6 like me. What size they wear.

This morning I was trying to figure what I'll wear for work. My job don't require me to dress up. Why does one need to dress like a million bucks if there going to be house hold chores.

Anther place we stop was the Three Mile Antique Mall. For me I love there fabric section. I got some fat quarter for $1.50 each. And anther piece for $1.00 But for $3.00 one can fill up a gallon zip lock bag.

Liz got a elk antler and she going to use it for wine glass holder. Regis found this grim ripper pipe.

I had been talking about the locker hook rug I've made and hear is the one I completed. Right now I've been cutting strips for the next rug I want to make.

I also started a quilt class over in Troy Montana. But I'm finishing up the one I start last winter. Then I been cutting eight inch squares for anther quilt and it called the "sand castles" and it doesn't have nothing to do with the beach.

Before The Sun Came Up

We're creature of habits. I'm trying to revent how I start my day. Usual the first thing I do when I get up is have my morning "Joe" and watch the news.
Sooner or later as to my nature I will mess up when it comes to revent my health.
Now before I raise out of bed. I have brief conversation with my interself. So instead of my morning "Joe" I did a few simple stretches. Then my coffee.
I had banana pancake with peanut butter and raspberry jam on it. I'm not a big fan of pancake syrup. Then two strips of bacon.
I finding this so called before I step out bed conversation does help. I sure don't want to stumple off the path of better health.
I know reality or some un for seen event will tumble in and I'll stuff my face full of food. One thing I can say I'm developing good tools to over coming my food crutch.

I thought and should think all that much. I thought I had the photo thing figured out. I don't, considering I had and even paid them to show me. What I need to do to get photos on the lap top.
Well I thought I had. Look simple enough. Well I didn't have it.
I don't like to bother my son about such things. Considering I seem to be slow and just not understanding what's going on.
So looks like I'll be taking my lap top down when I go and see Bart and his family. And get a computer lesson.

I've also been lining up the items I will need for my quilting class. I will have to stop some place and pick up some cotton thread.
Actual it only looks like I will need three piece for this quilt. My boarder piece, and I'll look though my fabric stash and see what I can come up with.
Last two items I'll need is the backing and the batting.

Looks Like little later on today I will help Liz with anther load form her old place.

Question time...(two part)...How do you see your self...and....How do you indenify your self?
I see my self as being of this planet having an adventure of life...I indentify my self someone who isn't quite there yet.

Fall Party In Land of Bogus

In the kingdom of Bogus, there was the king of Wands who treat his subject with great admiration and made sure everyone treat with kindness. He was so fair that he could leave his gold out in open knowing that no one who lived in town of Bogus would every take it.
He had a lion on guard at all times, knowing someone from a far way land could break down the gate of Bogus and possible do warm to them.
But in land Bogus every one worked very hard for there kingdom. Know one there was a surf and the king made sure everyone had a little garden spot and even few people had some chicken and even livestock.
Who was glad to share there abundance with others.
Right around the time everything was harvest the king place a table right on main street and the entire people of Bogus came to celebrate and give thank for a grand harvest, with parade and dancing.
There was many people who showed off there talent. Gifts was brought from all people and this little boy who had tremors drew the king a picture of his home with his family standing out side. As the king saw the picture been erased several time. The king said to his people "It doesn't matter how many time ones go back to the drawing board as long as one gets up and tries over a million time they will get there"

The book I'm reading on writing your own diet. Talks about having a body buddy. I think this is wonderful and helps one to my accountable for there choices.
I'm letter writer. Snail mail thing.
So as I'm a member of T.O.P.S I posted an ideal on there facebook page about doing an pen pal though tops.
Also got hold of the main office. Not sure where it will go. But T.O.P.S is a support group. That one reason I post about my weight lost adventure on my blog. It keeps me honest.
Plus the scales don't keep me honest but they keep me accountable.
One thing I'm sure I don't want in a body buddy is one who in competition. I would like one who is about the same age that we can share our weight lost together.
Sex, weight, although I wouldn't want someone who got less then 40 pounds to go, or over 100 pounds to go. and age. I find all ages a blessing.

I thought I would of been hauling more items for Liz. But both of us are pretty tired and she ask if I could do it Saturday.
She was grieving her old place. But right now there no time to grief her old place. But I told her once we got her in her into her new place.
Believe me there plenty of time un-pack the moving boxes. But way the non perishable food. Take a week off and grief for your old place.
Then slow start to put your new home into order.

I'm starting to line up the fabric for my quilting class starting this Monday. I just wash up some floral prints. It looks like I won't have to purchase all that much fabric for this up coming class.
Couple of piece fabric looks like there some place between half and yard, I got them for forty nine cents. Then I went though my stash.
I been cutting strips for Sawyer and Betty locker hook rug.

Murphy did most of the work on the deck. He almost got the railing on, and once that on we're calling it good for winter. I believe her wants to tighten up the side deck, and that needs replace also.
The other day he ran into one of the local who sells firewood. He only does a few people since he retire and it hard work. We use to go out and get our own firewood.
But no more, any how my husband can have a real nasty attitude that could ruin a patient of Saint. Even our son has no desire go and help with firewood.
I'll just leave it at that.
So we're buying a pick up load of rounds for $150 and I'm guessing it should be 1/2 to 3/4 of cord. I could pull up a calculator and figure what size of load that would be. Right now top line firewood sells for $225 and $250 a cord.

I did get my other lap top going. I just didn't under stand how it worked. So as some of you know I went on ramp page about Yahoo. So I'm think of closing this blog down. Don't frat I'm not giving up blogging. I'll be starting a new one. This blog is called "Having Coffee With Peppylady" and I'm trying to come up with a new name for my blog...Question time ...Any new name for a blog?

With Out A Script

Action, roll um. Weight lost was good this pound and quarter off. In this book they talk about planning. During outing I actual do ok. But I plan what I'm going to eat and even from the goodies table.
But I notice in every day life I don't plan when it comes to eating.
Mostly with Liz when we're out in about and nothing major goes wrong. I will reward my self or penalize my self with food.
Confession time...In pass I thought of retaining a lawyer. I figure sooner or later with her acting like a crazy lady. Some one would be calling some law enforcement agency.
I have to give cootos to her therapist and social worker. I know I had a hand in getting her moving in the right direction. So team effort.
When it comes to weight lost. I notice I need to constantly cuing my self.
Regis bought whoopers, malt ball. Love them. So I before I did his dishes I had four and afterward four. That what I plan and that what I did.
When I take lunch I plan to put in four items. Today was a chicken wing, lemon yogurt. carrot sticks, and bag of m and m's. They where the large bags so I dump half of them out and ate them by color. The other half is still in my lunch. I will eat the other part tomorrow.
I guess it true what they say about. If you fail to plan you will fail.

I had plan to take in my lap top grab the cord. But I took off this morning with out my purse so no driver liaison. And no money.
I took Regis to his appointments and after we stop in at local thrift store.
This thrift store don't deal with bank cards. I thought this would be blessing for me, I couldn't get anything this way.
Well I was looking though the fabric stack and I mange to fine some. Which will work into my up coming quilt.
The bank was just across the parking lot. I've been using the same back for years and all the people who works there knows me.
Well I pulled out 22 dollars. The items from the thrift store was 11 something. And I end up getting ten back and some loose chance.
So I went and put ten bucks worth of fuel in my car, and bought a scratch ticket. It been year or so since I purchase a lottery ticket.
Not much of gambler. Is like gun I'm not anti or pro. Same with gambling.

Well I need to head up stair and help Murphy with dinner. Fish tonight. He got the boards for the railing on deck.
This morning it was just below freezing.
One last thing Liz did get her apartment.
