Tired I am - sorely tired!

Ha - not working doesn't mean not working! Whew - In the last eight weeks I have done so much that at night I am exhausted - but very satisfied. My garden never look lovelier & my house - well it still can use a once over - but it will do! I am in the groove of thrift store visits big time - found some wonderful stuff - lots just added to my Etsy shop - now it's off to fill my Ebay store. Wish me luck

"For beautiful eyes, look for good in others;
for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;
and for poise, walk with knowledge that you are never alone."
Audrey Hepburn

Busy As a Bee....

I have not stopped working since I stopped working!!!! My house is CLEAN - my living room & dinning room floors are re-finished, my kitchen has a new floor, the tiles in the bathroom have been re-grouted, the house has been power-washed, the gardens planted & mulched - all done by MOI - yes even the floors!!! WOW - I never realized how much I wasn't getting done!!!! Wonderful feeling - but boy am I tired!!!!

Worms Eat My Garbage

Ok - so my dirty little secret is out - I admit it - I have worms. Red Wigglers - two pounds of them to be exact. They live on my deck in their own little worm farm and they dine on my garbage everyday! After a few attempts and some false starts - it looks like this time around it's going to work! I purchased the "farm" and two pounds of worms from The Worm Woman and already harvested some worm tea. Yes it' sounds strange - but it's environmentally friendly, good for my plants & just plain fun!!!

OH MY!!!! Almost a month!

Since I last posted. Wow! Things have come together for me - house is clean - almost! Yard is shaping up - the place in Maine is livable - I feel good. I have things going well at home - I finally realized what this whole housewife thing is all about & how it works. Man goes off to work - woman stays home & keeps house - yes it works. I almost want to regret the past 20+ years. If we only didn't do what we did with the $ thing - things could have been so different for me. So it goes - I can't think like that or else it will eat me alive. I am going to try to make up for lost time. I just came to this conclusion now as I write this - sheesh I didn't even know I felt this way. Thanks Rich.

It was easier than I thought...

Had to report to my old job today to finish up some paper work - I was nervous over it big time - I was up at 2:00 am & just rehearsed in my mind over & over. What was I rehearsing? I don't really know..... but while I was there - no emotion (well just a bit) but pulled it off without a hitch & I drove out of the parking lot & never looked back. WOW - I feel great!!!!! I must admit that I am not completely used to my new schedule - see I have no schedule - I guess that's why I get a little restless in the afternoon - but I'll think I'll adjust - LOL!!!!

It's a beautiful Saturday morning!!!!

The birds are singing up a storm, the house is quiet & I am definitely in a mellow mood. I keep going back & forth on my moods lately regarding the loss of my job - I am as down as could be & then I swing so very high. I definitely like the second feeling! Now to figure out how to make that stay! DS has been better - he feels things are going to be better now than ever before - he always balanced me out - I guess that's why we still work so well together!!!
