  • I am one tired puppy! I brought in the last item from my car at 3:08 this afternoon (a vacuum cleaner) and thus ends the long, miserable moving experience for me. Actually today was pretty relaxed. I knew I had jus…

  • It is Sunday afternoon and I wish I could say I was all settled in my new home, but I can't because I'm not. My mom came to visit for the weekend so I took a break from all the moving. Friday morning I set up the gu…

  • Despite what is says above, it is actually Thursday evening. I just spent the whole day with a U-Haul, moving into my new place. I am so unbelievably tired...I've been working for about ten hours and I still have so…

  • Yikes! I just got attacked by a bird on the way home from the supermarket. And I was just noticing this morning that the birds were acting very odd, squawking a lot. It reminded me of "The Birds". And just now whe…

  • Well, the past week has been a bit or a whirlwind. I took possession of my house on Wednesday afternoon as planned and immediatedly started ripping carpet up that was covering hardwood floors in the living room and o…

  • I am now less than 48 hours away from taking my cashiers check to the escrow office and signing a bunch of papers. I am heading down to North Bend tomorrow to look at a nice Heywood Wakefield sofa that I spotted on e…

  • I don't normally watch Fox News, but I happened to see it when I was flipping through the channels this morning and one of their commentators was comparing Reagan to Bush and comparing Reagan's "victory" in the cold w…

  • My inspections went splendidly today! The electrician pretty much confirmed what the home inspector thought...the electical system is complicated (he called in "unorthodox"), but is in good working order and safe. A…

  • Well, my home inspection on Tuesday went okay. The only two potential problems were with the electrical system and with the roof of the large covered patio. The inspector recommended further inspections in these two…

  • Ugh!! I ran just ran 12 miles and the last two of them were nothing short of a miserable struggle. I was going to run 13, but with this lingering cold that I can't seem to completely shake, I'm happy to have just co…

  • Yipee! I did get a counter offer....and then with a little back and forth, we got the price down to where I was happy with it! So there will be a house inspection on Tuesday and if I'm happy with the results of that…

  • A warning to all who read this: Read the warnings carefully on cough drops!! When I have a touch of a cold with a sore throat (which happens rarely) I don't ever take any medicine, but I do like to comfort myself wi…

  • A very pleasant afternoon outside...a bit stuffy inside at my computer. I took one more look at that house today...I had intended to do all the toilet flushing, light checking and water faucet running the second time…

  • Woohoo! 12 miles today! That is I believe the farthest I've ever run. It is especially gratifying after pooping out after 9 miles last Monday. The first five miles were a struggle and I had pretty much decided onl…
