unintelligible blather

Well. I’ve been scarce and there is scarcely a thing worth re-telling. I’m working 3 days per week. It’s a good job, I actually like it so far but they said I could do 3 days through the summer and then re-evaluate but of course now I am getting the subtle pressure to extend my hours.  And since I am nothing other than a dog mom and household manager, I feel like a huge slacker. The truth is, if I had not charged so many dog-related surgies and vet visits on my credit card, I would probably not be working. I just can’t hand this debt off to K and saddle him with it. So I have to keep at it until I am all cleared up. Of course if I worked MORE and not less, my liberation would happen much sooner. It’s a conundrum.

Today starts the rebirth of our patio area. I have jitters as we are paying a STOOPID amount of money to have this redone. And I have a feeling since we are a small fry compared to most of this contractors gigs, we may be living with a mud pit until New Years Eve. All of my fingers are crossed. It is also a real treat in dealing with the doggies who are barking non stop at the workers and cannot use their dog door to come and go in their usual free-wheeling lifestyle.

Did I mention we went and looked at a new house across town? Well, it’s a 1940’s tudor with a gorgeous slate roof and some other provincial detailing and it was on a gorgeous piece of property. It had also been renovated which is why we were looking because I cannot stand the renovation process / expense. I think there was only a 1% chance of us actually buying it but seeing it did motivated us to get moving on updating our own house. We’ve been here 4 years peeps. It’s time.

Jeez……..so freaking boring!!! Anyway, I’m alive and kicking and you know if I’m not posting its cuz there is nothing much going on. I’m sparing you!!!
