This & That

I woke up this morning a little later than usual. The dogs actually seem to be adjusting to the time change! Anyway, I opened our bedroom door and was hit with a wave of heat! Our thermostat for the familyroom zone was stuck on again, (after $185.00 repair a week ago) and it was nearly 80 degrees! I opened the bedroom door and told Hubby to get up and fix it! He got up, swearing and reset the system. I made the coffee and our day began.

Last night we went out to our neighbor’s for a dinner to celebrate the visit of our friend, Tina from Istanbul, Turkey where she is teaching. She is back for just a few days and so we heard all about her adventures in this strange and foreign place. I’ve been to Istanbul a couple of times, so I was anxious to hear what she had to say and how she liked it.


I’m feeling a bit down and out today. More emotionally than physically. I think I just need to have some quiet back in my life. And to have my home back. I know this sounds terrible, but I miss having my house to myself. I’m not the best of housekeepers, but right now there are whole parts of my house that I can’t even touch because they are piled high with Old Boy’s stuff. And it keeps coming in. Most of it is clothing salvaged from one of his abandoned homes. It smells of must and mold. I wash and dry and fold and this seems to take up a large portion of each day. I tell Old Boy that nothing comes up into the house until it is clean, still, his room smells like a musty old house and I hate that!!!

Okay enough of my complaining. I know it’s not right, but honest to God, it’s hard sometimes to do the “right” thing.
