Another Week Grinds to an End!

I really must apologize to all of you out there. I've not been the world's best blogger of late. And, it's showing....my readership is down.....I'm down....UGH!

My downness is medically related....my diabetes does things to my emotional state....and the fact that fall is fast upon us does not help. I'm a spring/summer person.....fall and winter just do not do it for me.

#1 has been quite a trooper at my house. Yesterday I walked in and found that she had painted the main bathroom. She and I had been discussing the possibility of doing that since we had paint from a friend that was used to do her room....and a lot of it was left over...and the bathroom is not huge. So there it stood in all of its glory....pale yellow....

It's amazing what a coat of new paint will do to something. It changes the entire atmosphere of the room. It certainly did it to her bedroom. We also invested in ton of plantation blinds....bright white ones....and took down those yucky shears in the living room....and the old venetian blinds out of her room. The character of both places has changed! Immensely.

I'm so proud of the house.

It's beginning to take on my personality.

I have a three day weekend ahead of me....and I have lots planned. The salvation army-like group is coming to pick up junk tomorrow. I have to have it on my stoop by 7am. Voila...it will be gone.

I'm putting out the old Christmas Tree.....and old wall hangings that "Lovey" rescued from the trash a long time ago...and anything else that I can get out there...depending on my energy levels!

Then, I plan to clean out the room that will become my office....where I can sit and write....and contemplate my existence. I've begun a manuscript for a book and will add to it and maybe reorganize it a bit. Then, on top of that, I'll use this blog as a resource. Plus, there's a lot of stuff I have not shared with anyone, anyplace. So, it promises to be juicy. **wink**

Monday, my dining room furniture officially arrives. So, once that is in place....and my pictures get hung.....I plan to take some tasteful interior shots of my entire house....and let you see the before and after!

By the end of October, I plan to make my final purchase...and it will be all done! I won't need another thing! I'm going to buy a 65-inch DLP television for the recreation room. That way I can enjoy my love of movies in an almost movie-like setting! AND...I can have company over for film nights. (Since I have a full collection of gay themed motion pictures, I plan to have a monthly get together for my gay married men's group...)

So, there.

I have survived June 20!

I've survived the flood of 2006 which happened only five days after Lovey moved....my basement was ruined......the furniture there was ruined.....boxes of stuff was ruined! UGH.

I've survived separation....

I've survived Lovey!

And here I am like the little pink Eveready Bunny....I keep going....and going....and going....and going....
