I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
I've turned into a curmudgeonly hermit, the last two years of going nowhere and seeing nobody have cemented the introverted part of my personality firmly in place.
Or you could bring in a porta pot.
Those cameras are water tight.
glad - I essentially have a septic field in my backyard now but it is not draining well. I am managing. I really couldn't lug a porta potty about. Today I called the project manager and haven't heard back. I know I am not the only project they have to deal with but I had hoped to hear something by now. Then I would have more information to make a decision as to how to proceed. Sil is setting up a room in dd's house which will help. It's cold out today and not great for me to bath then go out in the cold. I am rethinking taking a hotel room which would be quieter and possibly covid safer than dd's house. If I brought Rocky with me we could chill out together. Showers here today and tomorrow so we both will be inside most of the time. I think I'll wait for a callback from the restore co.
I think I would have the city take a look. At least you known that they will give you reliable info. May be the best dollars you spend on this project.

Hello all! I hope you're well!
I just scrolled down below, and noticed that my challenge to myself was 22 April '22 (1 month ago!) (I said I would try (1) not to whine for 7 days, (2) focus on my life).
Update: I failed, and gave myself F- and F-.
HOWEVER, suddenly I succeeded (A+++ and A+++). But it's totally by chance. Totally unconnected to my own self-discipline. What happened is: the situation is OK now. My mom is all right. No emergencies. I've been able to really work on my life. It's been an awesome feeling. I got a lot done (FOR MY LIFE).
Good luck to all!
I give myself a new challenge: for the next 7 days: don't postpone. Get it done now.
OK, I'll update again in a few weeks. Knowing me, I'll start off with F-, but maybe I'll be lucky and go to C+.
I just hope he can put in the old hard-drive and pull off from it onto a memory thingy items I had on my old computer, that weren't saved on a website, and place it onto the new computer.
Right now I am using my sign-other's desk top computer. It is throwing off my whole routine. It's like going into a grocery store you're not familiar with :)
As technology moves at warp speed, the older stuff doesn't play well with the new technology. Gotta buy new.
2 months ago, I told myself to stop whining - for some days. I failed, then miraculously succeeded, but the only reason I succeeded was because my mother's well now, so there's nothing for me to whine about.
1 month ago, I challenged myself to: not postpone. Get it done now (whatever's on my 1-mile long to-do-list). Well, I'm giving myself a Z- (in other words, way below F).
Off I go and try again.
Good luck to all!
Bravo, I was able to change the turquoise titles to black, now I can read them so much better :)
ff - I hear you. I've lost that icon/symbol. Anyone have any ideas how to get it back?
Feels like I am going backwards with prepping the house for sale. I'm not but sometimes it feels like it. I have such a limited energy budget many days that things can start piling up again and anything extra is too much. Now I am having to nurse the new sod on the back lawn. It was not a good batch and looks like a patchwork quilt in greens and yellows. Mainly greens thankfully. And I don't have the energy to bitch at the project manager.
They need a traveling icon.!😉😉 The icon disappears when I am zoomed in
Golden, my guess with the sod is that it dried out too much before it was installed. May have even gotten it free as a leftover from another job. Did they do any soil prep? Primarily leveling the ground by saturating it with water? Add any organics to help it along?
It will probably be fine. Patience.
I watched a zoom presentation tonight from p.ink a group that awards grants for mastectomy tattoos. There are very beautiful tatts out there if you reconstruct. And there are parlors out there that participate each year. I asked why the websites of those parlors are so dedicated to reconstruction and nothing if a woman decides to go flat! I was brushed off, no response from any of the artists on the zoom.
Wow, FF. I changed to b&w an so much easier to read. The turquoise was almost blinding, too bright, contrast.
