Hello All Hope you all are going to have a great Saturday today and a great weekend. It has been raining here all evening had a small thunderstorm with very bad lighting, but it did not last very long. It is 2:46am needless to day I have been up all night so far, Another Thunderstorm stared about 20 minutes ago still going strong very loud thunder and very bad lighting with a downpour of rain.
Except for the last 2 days it has rained for 18 days straight here in good ole Michigan, It seemed the kids were never going to be able to enjoy any of their summer off. The last 2 days no rain my granddaughter was able to be outside riding her bike and swimming in her pool, she loves it. It has also been in the mid 90's here with 100% humidity making it feel like 104, I broke down today and bought a second air conditioner I couldn't stand it anymore.
I finally got my 2 wicker chairs painted and sprayed with sealer. I put one on the front and one on the back porches they look really nice soon as I got them done and out the forecast became became rain so I haven't enjoyed them yet but I will. I will take a picture of them hopefully today if I get a break in the rain and post on here for you to see them. am going to my local habitat Restore tomorrow, they are having a tent sale hopefully I can find something cheap that needs painting and new knobs to do and resell. If I find something I will post before pics.
Maybe a dresser and a twin bed for my granddaughter her dresser isn't very sturdy and the middle drawer in her bed keeps falling apart. If so I will paint the dresser pink and white.
Tomorrow since it raining and everything outside is soaked I am going to clean and paint the knobs for the dresser in my bedroom that I have half painted I have to leave the drawers opened halfway in order to get clothes out of it, I also may paint the last drawer then just have the bottom of the sides and then a 2nd coat on the sides and it will be done.
Well going to try to sleep have a wonderful weekend Goodnight!!!!

Home
Hello all I am sorry that I have been away so long, I have been hurting quite a bit, and I have been very busy. I bought a used Ford Explorer I needed a second vehicle found it on Craigslist, wasn't far from my home I went and looked at it, drove it down the block doesn't ride real smooth but it isn't bad for just diving around my town. It has no dents or scratches, looks real good.
I have painted a small stand just have to do the very bottom of it which I will do tonight, distress it a little put poly on it and it will be read to sell. I love painting furniture I wish I had room to redo big pieces but I just don't. I have no garage or storage space at all.
I really love my home, With my RSD I do not have a lot of rooms to clean no upstairs to climb, except to go into the basement to do laundry, so it is convenient for me. I am trying to decorate it nice I have found a few older pieces at the Goodwill store, and I won a online auction a big fork and a frosting spreader from the 40's for 1.00 each a bargain! I have them hung up in the kitchen when it gets done the way I want I will take pictures and post them. It is nothing compared to the home tours people have on their blogs, they are so beautiful. But.. when you are on a tight budget you buy what you can hear and there.
I have been working a little in yard, planting flowers, putting down a brick boarder, pulling weeds, moving sand stone putting down mulch. A lot of it is me supervising my daughter LOL she has been a great help I can not get down and do the things I want done, so she has been doing it for me. I do a what I can.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. Here in Michigan it has been hard to really enjoy the summer, I feel bad for the kids, because it had been raining seems like forever everything is soaked. Hopefully it will stop and things will dry up.
Everyone have a great week I will be preparing for a yard swale this fri and sat I really need to get rid of some things.
I will try not to be such a stranger LOL Enjoy!

Hoping!
I had a appointment with my pain Dr. today she refilled all my medicines, the new medicine she put
me on last month doesn't take my back pain away but it takes the sharp pains away, Which I am real glad of.
This RSD is just something that I am always going to have and a disease that will never get better.
I just have to take it one day at a time. Some days are better than others.
I am still going out with the guy I spoke of in my last post. He is so nice, and sweet. He always opens doors for me, never lets me pay when we go out. So far it is very awesome.
He just invited me out Friday night for the whole night and I am going it should be a great night.
I think things are going very well. I hope things keep going this way, We have a lot in common, we would rather stay home snuggling and watching a movie, we both like boating and going to the beach, we both like sitting by a bomb fire. When he came to fix my bathroom faucet he said I have the same shower curtain in my bathroom(lighthouses and boats) and he said my kitchen is red with apples (mine is red no apples) I think that is a lot of common things. Hopefully things will work out.
Good night all and God Bless!

A new Beginning
It looks as though my life is looking up a little, I rent my home and when I need something fixed I call the real estate company and they send their maintenance man over, well the one we always have was busy with another project and I was asked if another one could come I said sure. Well he came over took him all of 10 minutes to fix the problem, then I asked him about a crack in the foundation the exact spot where we get water in the basement, I told him my name and he said he thought he recognized me, turns out we lived across the street from one another from about 5years of age till 11 when his family moved.
We stood talking for about a half hour he is very nice, as he was leaving he said we should get together and talk about old times I said that would be great. I wasn't sure if I would actually hear from him again, but the next day he called me we talked for a few minutes and then he mentioned going to the movies on sat(this was Thursday) I said sure just let me know what time.
He called me on fri and sat too we ended going to a late movie Saturday night. I haven't been to the movies in about 10 years, was real nice to get out.
We have talked everyday on the phone usually twice and sometimes three times per day, We went to Pizza Hut this last Saturday for supper, we ate and talked it was really nice.
I haven't been out with a guy in 2 years since I left my husband.
I think I like him he is very sweet and kind. I am hoping he likes me too, I think he does a little.
We will see where things lead we haven't known each other that long but I am keeping my fingers crossed.
The new medicine the pain Dr. gave me seems to be working a little. My back feels better most days
I fell a week ago right on my behind, tripped over a rug. My back has been hurting more since, but I am sure it will feel better soon.
Sorry it has been so long since the last blog.
Have a great day
God Bless!

projects
It is now 2:35am and I am just now getting a little tired, I have been sick for 2 days, I went to the Dr. today I got antibiotics and sinus medication I am hoping I feel better soon, I went to the pain Dr. yesterday she started me on a new medication for my back it has been hurting very badly, Sometimes I can hardly walk it is so bad.
My son bought a coffee table at our local Habitat store it needed a little cosmetic work so I sanded the top down, stained it, and put polyurethane over it, It turned out awesome.
I have a magazine rack that I painted grey I am hoping today to get it distressed and waxed then I can put it up for sale.
I may have a yard sale again this year, I am hoping to have it somewhere besides my house I live on a street that not a lot of people come down, I need somewhere that is on a busy street, I have quite a lot to put on the sale, I need to get rid of some things to make room for furniture that I want to paint for selling. The only place I have is in the basement for storing. I also have a table it is very nice and sturdy I want to get that painted, distressed, and waxed for selling too but with my hip leg and back pain it takes me awhile to get them done. In the meantime I am cross stitching a Christmas tablecloth for selling on my esty store.
Everyone have a great day!

He is called you know who
This is going to be a short post it is 12:58am my eyes are tired but my body is wide awake, Something that happens especially in the evenings and at night. My feet feel like someone is pricking them with a needle drives me nuts! my legs tingle and it gets worse when I lay, So I thoguth I would post.
I told you before about my ex in the previous post how he has been hurting my 6 year old grand daughter. The last month hasn't been pretty with her outburst over him ignoring her and her feeling like he diesn't love her anymore. I have asked him over and over how he could continue t hurt a 6 year old that he has always considered his grand daughter but he won't ansdwer the question, So I have just decided se doesn't need any contact with him at all and she will begin to realize what kind of person he really is. I shut his phone off and took it off my acount totally, and we haven't talked on the computer in awhile and it feels pretty good to sever all ties. I thougtht I would be upset but I'm not. what does that say?
This week my grand daughter twice in conversation referred to her grandpa as you know who, inside I was like wow I can't believe she referred to her grandpa as you know who. I was also thinking I love it maybee she is forgetting about him already it took less time than I thought. She told me whenever he comes up in conversation that is what he will be called you know who.
I think it's for the best someone who doesn't care about the feeling of a 6 year old he supposedly loves doesn't deserve to be around her.
You know who will regret it one day he has already missed her last 2 birthdays the last 3 Christmases, all the holidays, and not had one regret that he did. So when the years pass with no contact with her he will think back and hopefully realize that all her birthdays, christmases, school actiivites and dances, first boyfrind, birthdays have gone by and he didn't get to enjoy any of them.
I am not sure tht will happen he may just forget about her, which is nothing different from what he has been doing.
I am hoping he doesn't forget about her because it will hurt him more loving her and not be able to be with her and talk to her looking at the pictures of her he has, all under 5 years old and wonder what she looks likes as a teenager and adult and what she has been doing.
I know that is terrible to think that way but after all the hurt he put me through I just soemtimes don't have it in me to be nice to him. I want im to hurt like he hurt me.
My grand daughter will not suffer she has only been with him maybe 10 times in the last 3 years and I think she is young enough to just forget about him and live a happy life without you know who.
I just don't want her to hurt anymore it isn't fair to her, and if I continue to let her see him and talk to him on the phone her feelings will just start all ovver again, and then she will get hurt again, and again.
Well there it is from now on he will be you know who.
Good night all God Bless!!!!!
