Today went to a fundraiser breakfast at a local fire company. Nice folks but thought $13 a bit steep for the offerings, however, a good cause.

🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞

After that went to a health fair to see if I could circulate some of my neurofeedback business cards but the woman told me Sunday, and it occurred Saturday.

Yuck!

🏥🏥🏥

However, all was not lost as I wandered Home Depot and found an alternative to using sheet rock on the ceiling. It’s a plastic called fluted propolyene or plastic cardboard and it folds, so it can be cut and glued to beams. So lightweight, no nails or screws, and I’ll be able to do it myself.

I am in ceiling heaven!

Another shot, doesn’t this look 👀 like a black and white cookie? Can see where my mind is….

Also painted the Diana statute glossy. She looks great but has some holes so purchasing Flex Seal, a rubber prep to tidy up her holes. Going to use that on the back of the skirting. Looks like great stuff.

Tomorrow my beloved carpenter is coming if we have no ☔️ to finish the skirting. After that I will paint the skirting after preparation.

Looks like fun.

🤡🤡🤡

Have purchased $1500. worth of supplies and having them delivered for $79. Will keep you posted on that process. I have one year interest free for pay off. Quite a deal and appears seamless, let’s hope so.

And looks like my roses to Mary paid off as had a job interview Friday and the boss was pleasant. Need to start making $ as have depleted the reserves.

Had to submit 5 references for this job.

Can you imagine?

Had to search the bushes to find peeps.

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

I know that’s a tree, use your imagination.

On the pundit side..

Worm brain is trying to get on the debate platform. He needs to find another country and be president there.

Rudy got served at his 80th birthday party for his AZ. antics with artificial electors. Justice.

And the judge is wondering why he’s paying his girlfriend’s credit card and not Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.?? Unbelievable, Rudy has a girlfriend.. Does anyone have pictures???

🥴🤮🤢🤧😷🥴🤮🤢🤢🤧😷🤧🤢🤮🥴🤮

See you Monday..,

Started the day early insulating the area over the couch as this wasn’t covered by blown in insulation. While only an R 19 grade hoping to add flat board R 13 insulation over the roll then a ceiling.

Am looking forward to using my Home Depot card one year interest free offer. Have about $4000. worth of “stuff” I need to get.

🎅🎅🎅🎅

Making a list and checking it twice..

🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

This is a real deal as interest on the card is

29%!

🌹🌸💐🌷🌹🌺🌷🌻

After this drove to Livingston Manor about 30 minutes away for their Flower Day.

What a cute little town filled with pricey shops, a brewery, and many flowers.

During the pandemic New Yorkers escaped the City purchasing little homes in the Catskills so things are booming up here.

🏡🏠🏡🏡🏠🏡🏠🏡🏠

Some even stayed and started shops..

🗝️🗝️🗝️🗝️

Overall a low key day for a get away.

Taking a break from pundit land but did hear Baron is interested in politics, however, more interested in getting involved in sports.

⚽️🏀🏈🏐⚽️🏀🏈🏐

Let’s hope he selects the later. We don’t need any more tr’s fu-king our government.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Here listening to the rock band Far Beyond Gone. Never been much for rock but that’s the only stations up here I can receive. I’ll adjust but oh how I miss NPR and classical music.

They do sound appropriate, and I guess I am a snob, but I’m giving it a shot and at 67 that’s something.

Also associated with the place is a playhouse where I am told understudies from Broadway perform. That is why I came tonight to get the lay of the land and see where the place is as I bought season tickets

And only 12 miles from the cabin so this is a perfect fit.

⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️

On the pundit side Cohen finishes up Monday and Tuesday the trial wraps. Most predict this will be a slam dunk, and am sure the NYS Corrections already has got a spot built.for the rapist.

Have to plan ahead.

Wonder if Melanie will make conjugal visits?

I know NYS has telemedicine so they’ll still be able to debate.

And on another front what of Alito hanging the American flag upside down?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Disgusting.

But this is the same a—hole who was on a plane to Rome to meet with the pope the day after overturning Roe.

And they’ll be the first to cry after democracy is over.

🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽

Wow they are getting carried away here. Girls are dancing. 💃 Just like high school again.

See you tomorrow.

Enjoy another day of democracy.

Hope you are as well.

To my 5 readers, you have the delight of receiving another blog as I have nothing to do. Could not carry one more item, and gratefully I reviewed the Sullivan County travel 📕. I tore the pages that interested me to lighten the load and recycled the rest.

🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️‍♀️

Have been going through the New York Times left on the train 🚊 by a passenger yesterday. Was glad to see there is some news other than the rapist’s trial. I must subscribe. Maybe there is an abbreviated internet version?

📰🗞️📰🗞️📰🗞️📰🗞️📰🗞️📰🗞️

Where do I start?

• Pence is trying to get free government $ to pay off his over one million dollar campaign debt. While unlikely guess he’s not as dumb as I thought, only brainwashed.
• The students protests to free Gaza, if this occurs, will only cause the Palestinians to be suppressed by Hamas according to an op ed. A situation from hell with no easy answers. Remember Afghanistan?
• The trial of the NJ senator is ongoing. Didn’t realize the dastardly deeds he was up to. Steering weapons and aid to Egypt, gold bars, fancy 🚗., meddling in criminal cases, to name a few indiscretions
• Florida has a banned book store in Gainesville. If only Gainesville voices ruled that state what a different world this would be.
• Mexican are being bused south by their government
• How do you help someone getting through divorce?
• And hot honey is the new food craze.

Think I need to subscribe to broaden my horizons..

🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅

Upon waking I quickly dress to catch the 830 D train. While I only arrived a bit ago, 18 hours, I need to be “home” by 2 for a 3 pm meeting to volunteer as a writer for a travel rag.

💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

I kiss my daughter good bye and thank her again for her assist with cabin needs. I leave a peck on my son in laws forehead who remains asleep looking angelic, which he is.

😴💤🛌🥱🛏️💤😴🛌💤

He is a gift from God who will be taking improv classes the end of the month. And if he is wise he will speak of his zany wife and insane mother in law as he’ll be on Colbert in 7 months.

Anything to pay the bills.

Recall my daughter is unemployed and son in law underemployed.

💵🧾💸💵🧾💸💵🎱

I board the train after convincing the pleasant 86th and 20th truck vendor to make me a gyro 🥙 for the trip. It is the best gyro in Brooklyn. He pleasantly obliges and next I bound the stairs for the impending D train to arrive in one minute.

🚊🚊🚊🚊

I run to the front car, my favorite, ❤️ and the door begins to close. Shoving my umbrella ☂️ in the door it reopens and I dash in to catch a 3 seater surrounding myself with 💼. My daughter has given me a designer purse from a bag hound friend as mine is overflowing. She also gave me some antique lace tablecloths for the cabin tables, leftovers from the June wedding.

🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️🍽️

Am thankful for these gifts as they are light. On last visit I returned with a house warming gift 🎁 of a 3 foot long ceramic dragon potter which the Asian woman in Chinatown told her was good luck. 🍀 So far so good, but what a trek carrying that on the train 🚂. Thought my shoulder was going to dislocate as had to take her monster 🧳 to carry it to the Port Authority.

🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉

Announcement of major delays are broadcast overhead due to a sick passenger in the train ahead. Glad I left 2 hours early for a 1 hour commute. We start again after 10 minutes. Not too major of a delay.

🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀🤞🍀

And one step closer to destination.

🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Had this ticket for the Met as I always love to hear Renee Fleming sing. And for $38 got my chance in the last row of the theater.

Prior to the opera took in the sites..

New artwork

The paintings

Then some new dresses on display from former performances..

And always fun to people watch. On this rainy Wednesday night NewYorkers still glammed up..

Then there is the eave dropping on the diners. Someday would love to dine here.

Back to the hours..

The music was gorgeous as was the performance, but a challenging work to follow in this venue. Glad I had the prompters on the seat in front to guide me through.

However, it was lovely to be away from the duties of the cabin.

Always wonderful to be in NYC.

After our busy day yesterday there were only a few mundane tasks left on my daughter do list…

Closure done..

Think I got quite a Mother’s Day treat with all these upgrades!

And Chris the carpenter swung by to continue the cabin skirting.

💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

With the finale being a chat with my realtor on the condo where I caved on price.

💵💵💵💵💵💵

Time to let go and move on. While I now know what rape feels like I need the cash for the well.

💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

And the NYC trial continues with a republican show of support probably paid with taxpayer funds. All these religious zealots had a come to Jesus moment for the rapist.

Guess they had to pay homage to their idol

or

maybe maga mike missed a visit to the statute of 🗽 on his last NYC visit?

🤪😜😝😛🤑

Crazy

Arrived early at Home Depot to pick up the machine to do the deed with my daughter.

This was my belated Mother’s Day gift.🎁

The Best Mothers Day gift 🎁 ever!

Today I volunteered at the Mothers Day Brunch at Bethel Woods where celebrity chefs made an appearance. I was the greeter and worked the door wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day.

What a delightful event!

And the volunteers were allowed to eat after the event closed. Best Mother’s Day meal I’ve ever had.

Guess I’ll sign up for this each year.

Today I hired different carpenters to install the bathroom floor. It is almost done after a few snafus with some rotten floor boards needing replacing. I now know why they had 3 inches of caulk around the toilet base,

🚽🚽🚽🚽🚽

Next week they will return to finish the gold strip around the perimeter of the vinyl floor,

🧑‍🌾🪴🧑‍🌾🪴🧑‍🌾

While they were here I planted a vegetable garden. Hopefully the deer won’t eat the growth. Also purchased lilies of the valley as deer aren’t partial to them and they spread like wild fire. so good coverage.

🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴

It’s 3 am and my antique heater is cycling through waking me. Glad I found the origins of this noise after having the electrician, plumber, carpenter, and electric company here to investigate.

🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️

Guess I missed my calling and should have been a detective. This on top of being misdiagnosed by fl mds for a year and curing myself.

I definitely missed calling!

⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️⛱️

Oh, the beach mentality. For another blog.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

On the pundit side Joe is traveling the country talking of all the good he’s done but no one listening as the rapist is hogging the media as usual.

📺📺📺📺📺📺

However, I still think us gals will put him over the edge despite the polls.

Female health care is the issue, and we’re 51% of the population.

🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️💃🙋‍♀️💁‍♀️👯‍♀️👩‍❤️‍👨🙆‍♀️👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

Wish they made these emojis in different colors to represent all.

I’ll have to write ✍️ Joe, he’ll get it done.

Happy Mothers Day

🎂🎂🎂🎂
