Well it is August Long weekend and we haven't done too much, primarily because I am still not feeling well, this is really starting to suck and I am definitely getting tired of feeling like shit and dragging Matt down with me and not being able to do as much as I would like around the house. I have been doing little things here and there and just going with the flow when I have energy to do so.
Last week I managed to get a bit of energy and do some work for Lindsey and that was nice, what a pleasure that woman is and so amazing for a young woman. I stained there fence and redid her back door for her. She gave me a screen door for our back door , thank god, we really needed one and I took a dingy old brown screen door and painted it a high gloss black, fucking love it. Matt has been doing stuff around the house as well, he has done flashing around the back door and around the garage door and also sprayed our water proving stuff on the foundation walls, This has finally stopped our basement from leaking and we are both ecstatic about that. It was getting to be a real pain in the ass that everytime it rained we had to mop up water and live with a musty smell for a week. Sucked!
The garden is coming along great and I have already canned spicy pickled beans, today I am making garlic dill pickles and last night we had cherry tomatoes fresh from the garden, everyday we eat fresh raspberries and are loving it. Boc choy is ready to pick and then we can have fresh for dinner.
The front yard is totally done ad hopefully this week we are going to start the cement on the side to fix grade issues and then do the stucco on the front of the house, it is just hard to plan what we are doing when I never know what energy I am going to have or how much I can do on a daily basis.
But once all this is done, I think it will be a dramatic difference for the look of the house. I have done a sand on the brick walk way and we are making plans for the planters which will go along the old joint sidewalk, hoping to get that done before the new people move in next door. Also need to get some wood and build the divider wall between the two doors. Will be so nice when we are done and everything is complete.
Also have to go and do some shopping this week and get our hood fan for the kitchen and decide on the counter tops as well. It will be so fucking nice to finally finish shit and then next winter hopefully everything is done and we can just get on with life and maybe I will finally be successful onn getting a job, who the hell knows.
September is going to be filled with appointments again and back and forth to a few different specialists here and there, yay!
I am so tired of doctors and hospitals at this point in my life. I just want to live and say fuck it. Maybe I will just decide to do that soon and do what I want for a change. Oh well we will see.
A quick happy pride to Vancouver and a thank you to all who read. Have a great weekend and a fabulous day.
