Where the hell have I been you say?

Hey I wish I had a good excuse but you know what I fricken don't, life has been a bit crazy and I burt myself out for a bit but I think I have my crap back together lol. This summer has been damn hot for me and so full of smoke I can't handle this crap anymore. I am so emotionally drained from all the people that have lost there homes from the fires, I have had to turn off the news and stop reading, it's not that I have decided to end my humanity about it no not at all but this girl is no help to anyone if every day is so overwhelmingly filled with emotion and sadness, so I have taken a break, time to get myself back in order cause summer isn't over yet and I hate to say it but there could be more fires started and closer to home before this season is over. It hasn't all been doom and gloom around here, some very exciting things have happened, and this is the main reason I have been so busy is the co-op just had all our windows and doors replaced and OMG they are fantastic.

Such an amazing job they did, my place is so much brighter and looks way better so much so that I am now ready to paint. was a lot of work though moving everything in every room and removing and replacing all the curtain rods, not to mention moving all my big planters back in there space but I am almost done with that part and on to the next reno. Since we stayed on budget with the windows we are now getting the siding and stucco done, we hope to have part of it done before winter. Then the real fun starts because if we can stay on budget for that job I will be having panic issues and so much stress coming out my yinyang lol, because everyone who still has the old rugs in there place will get new flooring  aaaaccccchhhhhhhh. I am so excited but I am also exhausted just thinking about all the work I will have to do to move all our things upstairs into our spare space, everything will have to be packed and put away and I am having a racing heart just thinking about it so will stop and move on from that hahahahahaha.  So you see I haven't been on a vacation and living it up lol I wish.  I am still letting the rabbit's out of the barn to run the yard and they are loving it and so am I makes me smile every time to see Sam run so fast across the grass,. He has finally gotten used to the feel of the grass. Let's see what else oh I have trapped and caught about a dozen mice in the house, there must have been a pregnant mom that came in cause most of them were very young but I think I have gotten them all so far. I decided to put some bait out in my shed because my yard has been over run by them now that they have chicken feed right next door, I got some bait of Ebay and used that within a week, then I got thinking and looked up a homemade bait and found one that is working like a hot damn and all it is  aspartame and potato flakes, that's all, they eat it and drink and swell, kind of a sad thing to do but when you have literally hundreds running around it is time to get rid of some cause they are all going to want to come in for winter, so far I have found about 20 around the yard and I know there are some under the barn cause I can smell them, so my yard smells a bit oogy right now but that will end as soon as they dry up. I am considering moving the barn for next summer so I can plant a veg garden were they are but that will be such a huge job and I am for sure not going to do it alone I am way to old for doing all that now. Sooooo that has been my life for the last few months, for the next while I have a breather so might be able to write more often again, I miss writing even if it is just for me to read lol. Anyone who reads this good health and my prayers go out to all dealing with the fires and smoke, stay safe.....

Amazing Day!!!!!!

I am so excited our new car arrived today, well new to us and I just love it, I can't wait to take it out for a ride but will have to wait till the smoke settles down cause it's just to much for me to go out in but it's going to be a blast. No more asking for rides no more fixing the car every week, I am so excited because I might even feel safe enough now to drive out of town the freedom will be amazing.

Clagon take me away hahahahaha

I have done all I can do it is up to others now hahahahaha ya I wish, I have so much I still have to figure out and get through life is just not that easy and nor should it be but I sure could go for less stress and more clarity as I am sure others would love also. It's summer and I mean it is summer the next 2 months in the Okanagon  it will be hot hot hot lol, I don't mind except that I tend to have to stay inside and look forward to the days it might rain so I can venture out for a bit and not get heatstroke in the first hour of being out. I usually tend to lose weight in the summer because I just don't want to eat anything except fruit and some veggies anything cold or I end up eating late in the evening when it has cooled down. I am fighting dehydration for the last 3 days and I can feel I am winning but not because I am happy about it lol I thank goodness that I have peppermint  tea or I wouldn't get any water in me. Today I planned on going to mow but I just can't handle the heat today so I have put it off for a day, not a big deal pretty soon I won't be able to mow because the grass will be burnt off but would be nice to get at least 2 more in this season just for the fun of it. I swear the weather is influencing everyone's mood  because we have a lot of short tempered people around me right now including my hubby, I can't blame him he is tired and hot as much as everyone so it's a bit like walking on egg shells here. I think today will be a good day to put the sprinkler on and let the kids run and play, if I wasn't so grossed out about the beaches I would see if I could get a ride and go for a dip but there is way to much crap and garbage in the lakes and plus I haven't the strength to be around a lot of people, some day I swear I am going to get myself a big horse rubber drinking bin and fill it with water and just lay in it in my back yard lol now that would make my neighbors laugh for sure and laughter around here would be nice cause there are way and I mean way to many hot heads in this place right now everyone wants to talk at once and no one is listening. Maybe a nap will help put the air on and veg for a bit who knows I may even feel well enough after to go play with the bunny's for a bit.
