More home repairs..

I have been meaning to call someone about my gutters. They're falling apart, I know they're clogged and when it rains I can hear the rain come down in sheets as if someone were dumping a bottomless bucket. The last straw was today as I came home from the store. I don't know how long it has been like this, but I noticed some part under the gutter had broken away and was precariously dangling there with wood exposed. Having wood exposed is pretty much an immediate repair necessity. So I looked in the phone book and met with a man who is the biggest spitter I have ever seen. Seriously. I was across the table from him while he was writing his contract and it reached all the way over. EEEEEEWWWW. Anyhoo, next wed. I am getting new gutters. Right now though, I need to go to Lowes and price some dishwashers. Mine is not working. I am glad I plan to be here a long time to enjoy the new shit I am putting in here.

Passive agressive bitchiness...

I was supposed to be with number 16 tonight but I am feeling a little punk with ovulation hormonal issues so I called and cancelled. I told him I could barely walk because of the pain (which is true, but it doesn't last ALL day). My back hurts, I have a headache, and I haven't eaten all day. I feel weak and tired and right now fucking pissed off. I know that I will feel better if I eat something but damnit I am not going to. So, what does he do? He says ok, I am disappointed, but I understand and I hope you feel better. Why didn't he offer to come and make me chicken noodle soup or rub my feet or whatever? Just what I thought. You think you're not getting any sex so you just say ok, I will do something else. Fuck that shit.

I am going out. I think. Or I am going to bed. I dunno. I am even being passive agressive with myself. Yesterday i slept from 5-10 got up messed around a bit and then went back to bed about 1 and didn't get up until about 11. I should have gone to the pool today.

It's the end...

The end of summer vacation. Last year I couldn't wait for the summer to end and to get back to having a routine. This year I am like a child again. Sad that my fun, relaxing, and beautiful summer is all but over. Tomorrow the kids come. I can barely muster the enthusiasm, but I know I will get it when I see them.

Janer the wonder cat. She kind of blends into the background even though the couch cover is green. She always has a bluish tint to her.

My new favourite place...

I went to the park down by the river again. It was a little later in the day than the last time I went and the day wasn't as clear as the last time but still, a good day nonetheless. What a beautiful summer it has been. I am sure this place will be just as beautiful in the fall as well. Maybe I will go back for all the seasons and take pictures of the changing landscape. It will be my project.

And so it begins past the peak of summer...

Quick update...

Went to home depot to get a mower today because I can't go back to Lowe's after the crying fit I had at being overwhelmed and just plain old pissed off at seeing all the humongous mowers that wouldn't fit in my car. So I got one just like the old one but updated. It's red. I have decided that someone needs to start making female friendly mowers. Not even just female friendly but short people friendly. Smaller, lightweight, with all the nice gadgetry that the big ones have. It would be nice if they were pink, lavendar, sage, sunny golden yellow or purlescent. Perhaps you could have those kind of covers that you could trade out to match your visors when mowing. Afterall, more and more women are living single and buying their own homes. In fact, most of the women I know who are either single or divorced live in houses....with a lawn. I'm just sayin...

Anyhoo, I even assembled the bugger myself AND it had missing parts so that I had to go back to Home depot and get them out of another box(well, the manager did anway). I did it with no throwing things, No crying, and no swearing. And now, my back yard is BEEEEEAUTIFUL!!!! Plus, I have a manual (don't know what mike did with all the instructions for shit) and *I* can maintain it all on my own. I DON"T NEED ANYONE!! Power to THE KIKSTER!

LAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today i bought a new weed eater. It is electric and I DON'T CARE! It is a lot lighter and easier to use than the heavy gas monster that Mike had bought (which is broke again and they don't make parts fo( it anymore). So, anyway, I weed ate (eated?) my front yard today and will do the back tomorrow. Not only that, but I also edged it as the grass was nearly growing across my sidewalk. I felt all proud and shit and mostly like yeah! I can do this yard stuff and do it well! I don't need mike and his stupid Lava rocks (I still curse you for that). The bad news though is that my mower will not start. I ran over the metal gas cap in the front yard back in June and it screwed up the mower. It worked for a little while but now it just won't start. I dunno. maybe I will check it again tomorrow. Perhaps it was just flooded or something weird. I need to get it checked and repaired anway. I will call someone tomorrow. if I have to drop it off somewhere I will see if I can borrow George's truck. I need to check up on him soon and make sure that damn dog of mom's is doing ok too.

Yesterday and today...

Yesterday would have been my 11th anniversary. I don't know if I can even count that we made it to the 10th as we were separated and the whole Gina fiasco happened just weeks before. I went to a pig roast yesterday at the pool. It was a nice time, nothing fancy and nothing exciting but it sure beats being at home. Number 16 is out of town for the week.

Today I went for a long drive to old child hood haunts on route 8 by the river. I should not get nostalgic when I am hormonal, but what a perfect and beautiful day it was to do just that. I feel so peaceful...and tired... but not as tired as I had been. I did mention my thyroid medicines needed to be upped didn't I? They went from .88mcgs to 100mcg. I gained 10 lbs in two weeks.

Anyhoo, life is sweet.

Dear blogger buzzz....

I am sick of seeing those creepy newborns every time I come to blog. Who, besides their friends and families care? They're not celeb babies, they aren't curing cancer, running for president, making cool crafts, or doing anything remotely interesting. The middle one staring right into the camera is really off putting. Diabolical. *shiver*

Winding down...

Tomorrow is the last day for the summer program I am doing at school and it is always the most grueling since I will be there from 7:30 am til 9:00 PM. I am ready for it to be over and at the same time, i am ready for the summer to be over too. It isn't that I am bored, oh no! It is just that I need routine to be productive. The only productive thing I have done this summer is make an appt. to have my basement waterproofed and that is going to happen in the fall. I did not paint or fix up the house in any way. I did not have my yard sale and pretty much gave up on decluttering once the pool opened up and once I started dating someone on a regular basis. I am ready to pull back on the reins there too. He'll either be there or not, but dude, I don't need to be spending every available day with him (but it is soooooooo nice.) Last week after the dinner for the summer program, I went to his house and he gave me a massage. On saturday he came up too the pool with me, then he fixed me dinner and then we went for a ride in the country to watch the deer. I need to start bringing a camera to places. So many photo ops missed.

I am still damn tired. I have an appt. with the doctor to go over my blood work. I will bet my thyroid meds need to be upped.

OMG! OMG! OMG!....
