Glad this Week is Over
I hate hearing myself wish my time away. I will have to work on that. Anyway, got through the busy week. Today is Friday. Last night I did some freelance work and made $100 in an hour. Had a GREAT time with friends having coffee last night. Today I got paid and finally got my semi annual bonus about a month late. But, that is about $300 extra I can throw toward paying off my NYC trip. DH loaded the suburban up Wed night while I was walking (it was 91 degrees!). I was glad, but sort of upset he did it all alone and after having hand surgery only 9 days ago. I work till 11 most Fridays, and after work we will load up my little truck also and head to RH. Last few loads, we are taking 2 vehicles just to be sure we can get it all. After this last load we are pretty confident in our ability to get the remainder pretty easily. Mostly just misc stuff for his shop, and a box for this room and that - so should not be too hard to put away tonight. Tomorrow I am taking the morning off and having lunch/movie with my sister who lives an hour away - we meet in the middle. Then tomorrow afternoon we are moving a large iron trellis my FIL made from a livestock panel. They had ivy growing on it to block a hot western wall of their house, but they have since had trees grow up tall to take over the shade job and want to remove some of their more labor intensive garden features. I want to use it to block a western side of our shop that gets constant sun with vining fruits and veggies, but DH thinks he wants a permanent feature like ivy. I have never grown ivy, but we have such a mass of vines between our grapes and wisteria that I don't want another thing that I have to trim a lot. I would rather grow food then just tear it all back in the winter and start over. Guess we have all winter to decide what we will grow. Have a great weekend!

J...Junction
http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/?m=1
I am at a junction in my life and I can't wait to turn and start down the different path! I hate the feeling of wishing time away and I have to be careful that I don't obsess on it. But I am so ready for a change. I have barely slept the past 3 weeks I have been so stressed about my dogs and about getting the house show ready and getting pictures of it to list. Then last night I became obsessed with another thought - I need to get photos to make flyers to have ready for people who drive by! Another thing on my to do list!
And my older male dog is just so restless and thirsty at night. He whines and wakes me up several times a night wanting to drink water and go outside. Well, in CH we do not have a fenced yard so I either have to put him on a leash or walk out with him and keep an eye on him. Then the little girl dog wakes up and wants to go too! Then we all have to try to sleep again. A few nights when I have waken up, I can't get back to sleep because I am hungry...ugh. Here I am at work today and I wish I had some of those glasses like Homer Simpson that he could put on and when he closed his eyes, the glasses looked like his eyes were still open! HA
Here is a photo of my two dogs. The female is down below, the male on the back of my chair. They love to be covered up. Since they have been sick, they have both been very needing. And Chihuahuas are pretty needy anyway, especially rescue Chihuahuas!
Anyway, it has got me to thinking. Since we are moving for sure October 1st. What big deal would it be if I move as soon as the house sells? Then the dogs would have a fenced yard and I could get my kitty back from my friend who lives 3 hours away. I don't think the kitty is doing well. She is too old to adjust to other cats. I really thought she would be ok, because she likes other people and animals so much, but she is just hanging out in their bathroom. I really just think this is part of how I transition to such a big change...obsess and worry about it and brainstorm.
It will all work out. The important thing is that things are going to change BIG. SOON. I need to enjoy my day to day. I am going to start with buying some puppy pads at the store tonight after work and see if I can persuade the male dog to sleep next to our bed, instead of on it. Wish me luck.
