Two Steps Closer

This morning came home 🏡 to another massive Mac 🛻 truck on my property, and a backhoe something like this 6 feet outside my bedroom window.

Thank God most of the seasonal neighbors have gone…

After a grueling 14 hours listening to screaming, uncontrollable psychiatric patients, then a 5 am wake up call as another patient went medically sour, I did not welcome this.

😭😭😭😭😭

Update: The medically soured patient survived. Was grateful it wasn’t my patient and she had a young, snappy gen z’er care for her. I was the gofer for the situation.

😰 😅😥😪😰

Back to the cabin.. looked over the situation and no changes done except the arrival of more equipment. 3 days of broken promises but when you have at least 2 other projects in the works how can you fit me in?

Just a little wake up…r u paying attention?.

Perhaps things didn’t arrive so the project can’t continue?

And dare say I best be mum as I am stuck with this situation as well as the fl condo. And then there is the electric car and the stupidity of going to school for Neurofeedback.

So many awful financial decisions in 2024.

Just grateful to have the psych unit to keep me financially solvent.

Gosh, I’m really digressing but this blog only has one reader so consider this more journaling than anything.

Hello out there……

Since I could barely stand from exhaustion went to bed waking at 🕛. Upon looking out my bedroom window found Charlie, my fellow baby boomer, at the helm of the backhoe digging a trench for water pipes to link Wanda and Willie, the water tanks, to the cabin.

Dressed and got moving as I had a massage appointment in Middletown. Waved to Charlie, and hopped in Gina, (my Toyota named for Gina Ramundo, my favorite cabinet secretary- look 👀 her up).

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Massage was 5 stars, and body repaired, so journeyed to the Middletown Aldi next. Aldi and Dollar Tree always raise my spirits and somehow buying $30 worth of canned goods added to my bliss.

Ross is another fav where I go to find $1. undies. This was the final stop on my list. Since I was successful in finding 2 pair at $1.50 and $1.99, my day was complete.

And though they were pricer than usual I was pleased.

The drive home proved relaxing finding the leaves at peek and post peek.

Another delight.

But the best part…drum roll…

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Charlie had completed half the trench for the water pipes. Never underestimate us Baby Boomers. Thanks, Charlie 🥰

It’s A Meadow..

Almost there with the water 💧 connection

The water tanks have been installed and paid for. My next concerned is what to do with a barren backyard. Recently went to a class on Meadows. Here I found myself intrigued and will be building a meadow in the backyard. This is an eco-friendly method to attract birds and butterflies.

Straw over rye grass seed

Yesterday I applied 75 pounds of winter rye grass seed to the lot and this morning, after working, I purchased and placed straw on top of my seed. Will keep you posted.

You never know what the senior years bring.

Maybe there’s a cabin in your future?

Peace, Love, and Pumpkins

Went to this on the grounds of Bethel where the Woodstock Music Festival was held. Since I volunteer here periodically I was given a free 🎟️, otherwise admission is $30. adult, a little pricey but let’s take a peek..

Colimcille

Today drove to the always fascinating Columcille Megalith Park. This area is obviously the rapist president’s land.

What a phenomal visit on a cool, autumn day.

It was spiritual and inspiring giving time for meditation and contemplation.

What I didn’t understand and actually scared me was the plethora of signs devoted to this man.

In fact one sign even applauded the rapists legal problems stating how he survived his various legal challenges.

And we all know what they are.

Guess these folks obviously have rocks in their head.

Welcome Wanda and Willie

Today I came home after a long shift to find my 2 new “children” buried, and being filled with 💦 water.

Prior to Burial
Meet Wanda and Willie

And to announce the completion of this 3 month project I sent the following announcement 📣 out to neighbors who have been inquiring and nervous for me as seasonal water ends in the next 10 days..

💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧

Welcome!  Your new neighbors, Wanda and Willie, my water tank children have finally arrived and are planted.  Their mother is reassured after a long and arduous journey/birth process.

The next endeavor will be a garage with structural feeds from rain and snow to maintain Wanda and Willie’s water levels.

Thanks to all for their guidance and tolerance in this process.

As my life long motto states…

“There is always a way.”

The Passing of Ethel Kennedy

Ethel Kennedy has passed at 96, from complications of a stroke. What a ride this woman had in her lifetime. Marrying into a political dynasty, she became the wife of a senator, Attorney General, and mother to 11 children, 34 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Following her husband’s assassination in 1968, she founded the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, a non-profit charity with a mission to establish a just and peaceful world. In 2014, Ethel was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama.

May she rest in peace.

I Voted Today..

Of course I did this by mail, and you know who I voted for.

And while the most contentious item on the fl ballot was the abortion amendment it was listed on the last page of the amendments, back page, last item. Let’s hope people know enough to turn the page over. It was listed after important amendments regarding fishing concerns and not paying for the election campaigns of fl representatives. By the way –how it that legal????????? Oh, that’s right it’s fl.
