Labor Day Weekend

What a nasty Labor Day weekend for us.  Our power went out on Sat and then when we tried to get our generator to work it would only run for an hour.  I could not use my oxygen as it runs on the geni and I could hardly breathe.  Sat night was hell.  We went out to breakfast on Sunday to try and cool off and so I could catch my breath.  When we got back Al tried to get the geni working but without luck.  We called our friend Earl and he has a geni so he had some ideas.  Thanks to Earl and all his help they got the geni running and I could breathe.  Of course now the weather got cold and damp so we never got comfortable but we figured we were luckier than others.  Thanks to a good friend we got some things to work.
Hoping for a better week for the rest of the week...finally got a good night's sleep last night after the power came back.

It is so funny to me, years ago I would go primitive camping for a week or two at a time, by myself,up north and never even think about having power or electronics.
Now I was enjoying the silence of the neighborhood, but wanted to work on my book and I need power for that.  Times and wants do change as one gets older don't they?

Oh My Goodness

It is unbelievable that I believed I could do all the things I have supplies for. I must have thought I was 5 people in one...whoops, that is called "Multiple Personality Disorder", or maybe having grandiose ideas, what ever it was or is I am now getting rid of it all.

What a eye opener to get older and realize that my energy is at a standstill.

I have packed upped 27 priority boxes of yarn to list on Ebay........good lord.
It is taking me days to do the photos, inventory, listing and packing up.  My goal is that by Christmas it will all be gone........please, please, please.

Got rid of the car top carrier and now need to get rid of all the camping supplies next. 

When I got told that I would be losing my sight for good soon and that my hands are losing feeling, I made the real life decision that "I want to choose how things go".  There is no reason to feel sorry for myself, I just want to make things easier so we can get rid of the house and move into an apartment next year.
I think I am going to be busier than a "one armed paper hanger".


Well I am going to go and relax and watch my "America's Got Talent".  Looking forward to some good and silly talent.
