Just another day in the life

10-02-21 two steps forward, previous fixers backwards

October 2, 2021


Omg, I was so excited to get going this morning that I headed off to the office to use the loo, brush my teeth and wash my face before grabbing coffee and donuts for Scott and I and getting back to the house before he arrived. My first reaction was Brrrr and Awe. There was thick frost and a gorgeous skyline.

We worked well today but I don’t feel we made the same progress as there were issues at every turn. There are two factors against us… a 1980 manufactured home and a 1980 manufactured home renovated along the way by the previous owner…

We were always just ready to move on to the big ticket items when we would discover small annoying problems that would send me back to Home Depot where the staff are about to call out NORM! When I walk in the door. It turns out that we finally found the mystery drips and the reason for all the water out the side of the place. There was a reason the grace was always greener!!!

I really appreciate Scott, I only wish we had gotten along further so both of us could have tomorrow off. I am not happy to have to set an alarm on a Sunday morning.

AND I am tired of going to the office or Home Depot to use the loo during the day. I will fess up to popping a squat in the yard come sundown for the last two days. Tomorrow, it all must be reinstalled!!!

I am finding it odd that I get overwhelmed when I share that I don’t have cancer. I think it is because there was so much fear that I was not acknowledging that I am caught off guard by tears and relief when I share with my closest people. I didn’t want to worry people and I know not all of them read this and that I may not have been as clear as I could have been that I was terrified. I will continue to let the tears flow as necessary and get on with living my best life. God, that is so trite but true!!
