The Isolated Blurt Thread XXXVII: You're Welcome, Fuckers

[TwinkleStars]

I've been sick most of this month. This congestion refuses to leave and spent a lot of today coughing.

Send me a healing angel or a naughty demon. Either one will make me feel better

I did this past week but there wasn't much they could do. If I'm not better by this coming Wednesday, I'll go back.

Thank you.

Been working on emptying this house. When coming across a “treasure “ Two questions come to mind:
Do you feel like packing it and moving it? Probably not.
Does anyone want it when you are dead?
Nope.
So it goes…

I always say "next time we move, im hiring people to do it.".. Then i find myself on the other side of a washing machine, trying to muscle it up narrow steep stair wells with my wife on the other end trying not to drop it.

God bless her, she has always been my right hand man. Every time we need three or four people, we just do it ourselves. We hate it, and we bicker (not true, I bicker, she does not) but we've always got the huge tasks done. Just the two of us...

Just got home from a short trip to Minneapolis. I forget how beautiful that area is. Driving north out of Mankato was absolutely stunning. Right time of year to see all the leaves change. Not that im much of a foliage type, i have to give respect when the beauty is there. Looked like the 60ft Green Giant dumped a few thousand tons of Fruity Pebbles on the trees along the valley...

The traffic sucked, so did the game. But the UofM campus was up there with the prettiest campuses ive ever been.

There is nothing fun about the entire process.
But now, I feel less of need to hold on to stuff. So, there is that.

It’s been awhile since I have been back to the hood.

Getting rid of clutter is always a good thing. Ive almost never regretted the stuff I've tossed/donated. Except for that set of kabob steels. I regret getting rid of those. Ive looked and looked for similar options and all ive come across is junk. Id give my kingdom for the stainless steel beauties!

I get out of the way by heading back to the nice and chill PNW.

I'm pooped! This week been splitting some wood, doing the pre-winter room clean/reorganisation of furniture, laundering the curtains, cleaning the windows, winter curtains up etc... H has been busy on and off with disposing of trash and all the brush I cut back when I was doing the flowerbeds around the house, driving us where we needed to be and doing all the grocery shopping.

Today I got on with the henhouse, raking out all the old hay, replacing it a deep layer of summer-sweet hay, refilling the laying boxes, laying hay behind the h.h door up against the garage wall as one of the dog's (cats or other critters) winter beds, and doing a bodge-job to tide the windowed south wall of the henhouse over till next year. It's made up of a ton of small panes in two large frames joined together that, I believe, came from a church; the frames are in bad condition now, and the whole needs taking down and reframing... before the temp fix, the entire thing had come loose, was bowing outwards and canted deeply to the right. So, I tried using the big jack to lift it before 'fixing it, but that didn't work out (really heavy fucker not easy to manipulate while holding other stuff in place!) as I really needed two people, so I lifted it as well as I could using leverage and jamming concrete bricks under the middle and lowest side. Used another rock under the lowest end and managed to push the bowed middle to more or less flat, then nailed a baton from the top to the second pane down in two places just to hold it till next year. Ran the mower a little around the back, too, before I move the old hay into the veggie garden for the beds there.

Tomorrow is offloading what's left in the truck bed and collecting up the rest. Next week's plan, depending on the weather, I'll be getting all his mum's potted plants into the summer room (already got the tenderest in) and winterising the other outdoors cats' and dog's winter beds. Probably splitting more wood, too and getting the hallway gas heater cleaned and lit. I'm getting there. We don't do bad for a pair of oldies!

I'm exhausted just reading that. Yeesh.

 

[Plasmaball]

and back home. I have a lot of thoughts about the trip.
I missed it till I came back home and now I just feel indifferent. I feel indifferent about both places.

I think im just mentally burnt out honestly. I couldn't even get away from the family at all. I knew it wouldnt really be a vacation.. they never are. Between seeing my family and their issues, to fighting my own on certain things.
Then all the travel and traffic because someone doesnt fucking understand boston traffic at all.

least i got some fudge and cookies
