Yeah... so... I've been busily trying not to hurt myself too much by doing all the stuff around the house that I really don't wanna do which needs to get done, but I keep putting off. Stuff like scrubbing walls, finishing up some painting, cleaning the ceiling fans... you know, all the REALLY FUN stuff. mmhmm

Anyway, in my continued effort to stall, I took on yet another project. I'm not sure how that works to my advantage, but ... whatever.

Poohbare, as some of you know, has been a coin dealer for a looooong time. Our goal is to open a shop locally at some point. We want it to be this year.

We've been looking at a real old building every time we drive past for a couple years now and I finally called the realtor. The asking price is reasonable, but it needs a lot of rehab. All the town's original structures were torn down at some point in the name of progress. This lil gem was built in 1880, about 50 years after the town was founded, and is now the oldest building in town. We want it. We want to restore it. We want to breathe new life into it.

It's gonna take a lot of work, but that doesn't bother us. I'm totally psyched. Fingers crossed we can work some financial magic.

Awwww, shucks, ya sweettalker. Yer gonna make me blush.

I feel like a grown-up today. It's uncomfortable and I dun like it. MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been crying on and off all day over the recent losses of such dear friends - Walt and Mont. So what I never met either of them face-to-face. They were still friends and they shall be missed.

Bet those two have already met up and started causing trouble. Oh dear!

The spawn and I were goofing around tonight and being silly. For those of you not on FB, here's a pic of me in Hello Kitty pj pants, Poohbare's Ohio State tshirt, and a reading light around my head.

I was pretty much an unproductive slug all weekend and it was stupendous! Today, however, was a different story. The tile grout is all sealed, been busy baking, the 11th load of laundry is in the dryer and the 12th load is almost done in the washer.

I've running up and down the basement stairs all day long and I think I sprained a butt cheek or two. Hmm.... wonder if I can get Poohbare to give me a "massage". ;D

The spawn did not receive a callback for The Voice but it was a good learning experience for next year.

How quickly things can change.

The bosslady was in a foul mood yesterday and threatened to fire me three times.

Today she did. I'm absolutely delighted! No really! I am! I've lasted longer at that place than all the other 19 employees she's had in the last 2 years and am LONG overdue to get the hell outta Dodge. I'm typing this as the unemployment page loads. That'll piss her off. Do I care? Uh... not so much.

Guess I don't have to worry about that whole caregiver issue, eh?

I'm grinning from ear to ear!

And, once again, God says "Hey! Pull my finger!"

Turns out Mom's medical expenses do not suck up a large enough percentage of her monthly retirement income to qualify for certain programs, so we're back to square one. Looks like either I have to get my boss to let me go part time (not likely), look for a different job that is part time during the hours I'm able to work (not probable), or I end up not working, hanging out at the house all day caring for mom and pay myself to be her full-time caregiver (most likely, but least preferable). Oh, the options! WOO!

On a brighter note, the girlspawn and I will be taking a road trip Saturday for her "The Voice" audition.
*fingers crossed it goes well*

Yeah... so... there's been this ongoing thing where no matter what I make for dinner, Mom either says she's tired of eating "that" or something is too difficult to chew or something is undercooked. Heck, she even mentioned stew meat that simmered in the crock pot for TEN FREAKING HOURS was tough. Yeah... not so much.

Anyway, if Poohbare does the cooking, she thinks it's delicious. *glare* Tonight, the girlspawn made chicken and THAT WOMAN actually complimented her on how tender it was and very easy to chew. This was said as I'm putting leftovers in containers and tidying up the kitchen.

I give the spawn an "are you fuckin kidding me?!?!?!" look and she tried real hard not to laugh. "Sorry I'm a way better cook than you, Mom." She then made sure to stand out of range. lol

Ahhhh the absurdities. At least life isn't dull.
