Life sure throws us challenges, that’s a big “fo sho”.  The move last Wednesday went well.  The movers were a fun lot.  They were a bit rough around the edges.  I guess that’s prerequisite in order to do that job all day.  Man, that’s not something I would like to do.  My back was sore and I’m in pretty good shape.  The wood floors are in, save a small bit in the master bedroom.  Today I met the sanding guys at the house.  I got a recycle container full of oak scraps for the fire pit – can’t wait.  Our home work over the weekend was to pick out some floor colors.  Picked out a nice range from light to dark – still fairly conservative though.  We have been living like vagabonds out of garbage bags instead of suitcases (yea, kind of my fault) I keep forgetting the suitcases and I have no room for them in the minivan.  When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Over the weekend, we were staying at a friends lake house in South Wilmington.  I didn’t get a lick of sleep Sunday night due to all the tornado warnings and the flood alerts every 40min.  I couldn’t imagine driving to work every day from there.  Ugh.  I just keep thinking of my Hawaiian vacation in 3 weeks.

Tuesday, July 12th 2016…This Amazon Prime day was a disappointment (Day 24)

Maybe I am jaded with online stores now, but I was disappointed with the Amazon Prime day, however I did get a good deal on a pressure cooker.  Now I need to find some good recipes though.  We closed on the house last Friday and the family helped a great deal tearing out the carpets.  Even the lollypop guild – Connor and Liam helped.  Big thanks to my brother-in-laws, there is no way I could have done it without you.  Bought a “Bagster” yesterday for the carpet.  I think I will stop on the way home to get a plastic tarp for it in case it rains, I won’t exceed the weight limit.  Hopefully the garbage man grabbed all the garbage.  Many things to worry about.  Moving day is tomorrow.  Wood floors begin getting installed on Thursday.

Wednesday, July 6th 2016 …The world still keeps turnin’ (Day 23)

Argh, I’m getting sucked in to this flippin “Game of War”.  Now I am taking the reins of an alliance.  Everything takes time.  In the meantime, we are closing on the house Friday.  Can’t wait.  Spoke with the floor guy and he will begin the day after we move in.  He said that we could easily live there while they are working except for when he starts staining and varnishing.  That’s kind of a relief.  Hmmm, haven’t really thought out the bathroom situation until now.  Not a good thing.  July 4th weekend was uneventful.  I did however get some new type of hot sauce from the “pepper guy” from work.  I need some new banner photos.  I haven’t done shit this year on that note.

The “Fair Lady working at Shuttles” is still giving me issues with twist step and 4 directions.  Not fair.  Seems like such an innocuous name.  Devastating.
