Of Possible Furloughs and Other Random Happenings

Well, there is a good chance the Grumpy Old Man will be furloughed later this week. We'll see how it goes and if it happens. My bathroom might get done if he is furloughed. Well, done sooner anyway. Sadly, I don't know how much I'll get done. It seems like when he is off, I get so little done. And I'm not just talking about school work, but house work too so we'll see what gets done.

I learned the mobile home my grandmother bought and was living in when she passed away was finally sold. Miss Goofy met the woman who bought it and said she was very nice. Sadly the park manager lied about some things in regards to the trailer, though what I don't know. I do know that while the shower in the master bathroom was fixed, the two broken windows weren't. And apparently there are cracks in the secondary bathroom shower.

I started making notes for my NaNoWriMo book for November. I'm doing something a little bit different this time. I'm going to write a book that feature two older women, best friends in fact, and the adventures they go on when they leave their former lives behind. It's a tribute to my grandmother and her best friend. I'm really excited about it and looking forward to writing something really different for me.

School is progressing slowly but I am making some progress.

Music Man's knee is less painful than it was but it's still got moments when it's pretty sore. He's putting applications in all over the place in hopes of finding another job cause he is not going to be able to do the one he had when he got hurt. So, we're hoping something comes up soon. His doctor can release him in November but if he finds something sooner that doesn't involve being on his feet 8 hours a day, his doctor said he might release him early.

I lost 3 pounds last week, so I'm pretty happy about that. Sadly I didn't go to the gym much so I think it was just from watching what I eat. I'll have to step things up for the gym to be effective.

I think that's all the news for the past couple of weeks. I'll try to update again next week.

Missed A Week

I still don't have a shower in my bathroom. But I have been able to use the Grouchy Old Man's so I'm stinking up the place.

Music Man's glucose numbers are coming down and the more we go to the gym, the lower they get. We've actually had several tests come in the normal range so we're excited about that.

I started working on getting the house and myself prepared for the holidays. I've begun Christmas shopping. I've bought a few decorations for Halloween and harvest. This week I need to decide if I'm making any gifts and if so I need to plan what I'm doing and get started. I start my Christmas card list too.

And finally, I have to say, to my best friend:

Happy Birthday DolphinLady!

We have been best friends since the summer before we started high school and I never could have made it through some of the stuff that's happened in my life without her. Love you Sis!
