'23 - The Adventure Continues ;)

Toothpaste is a new one! Never would've thought of that. They are getting better, more quickly. I think the benedryl helps. Who knows? I have gotten some mosquito granules for the place I seem to always attract the nasty buggers. Even if it doesn't wipe them out, maybe it'll disrupt the life cycle enough that they aren't so bad.

Charging my battery would be nice... but there's no rest for the weary right now. C'mon FALL!!!! that will help too. I have 3-4 sewing projects on my list with most stuff acquired for them. But the studio is a disaster of smooshed together furniture until we have safe stairs to redecorate.

Wheweeee!  Come on fall!

Can't wait.

New windows are in; they are very nice! Buck & I are gonna insulate/finish the interior ourselves. Holly is busy telling everyone how they're "doing it wrong" and "how I would do it" - SHEESH; give it a rest!! But I'm making headway with her on that one.

Moving ahead with retirement/new prez at company next week. I decided to let it (and my anxious brain) settle and heard from corp lawyer which gives me focus on that "to-do". It's just conversations and paperwork atm, but it still feels like a big significant change, even tho "guy in charge" is still gonna be around enough to keep the transition smooth.

I've been picking Hol's brain on paint colors for studio since she is the master colorist. We don't always agree, of course... but it keeps her part of the project. The two of us do spend a lot of time checking in, out there. Sometimes B joins us - but S never does. It's just the way he rolls. Gonna meet up this afternoon to move some furniture back from the center of the room, in preps for Deb's visit. And clean... the dogs use that room too, as their "indoor playpen". It's 40 ft long... so Knuckles is used to chasing a ball in there.

B is STILL trying to get the paperwork issue over this range of motion test sorted out. It's STILL not set! He was going to go back a month ago to get the mill... but now we're too close to the pump fill appt. More eye-rolling, but he's long past letting it make him angry. He handed the PT office girl the drs. orders for the test, gave her the number to fax it... and the insurance people still haven't gotten it, to release the approval BACK to the PT office. 3 weeks we've been explaining what needs to happen. I like him being around, but I know there's still too much to do at the other place.

I think some of the "difficult" energy is passing, for me. I'm closer to having a green light to finish up stuff I wanted to do before it got so bloody hot. I think the garden is a lost cause - AGAIN. I did get some onions and potatoes. Tomatos are there, but still green and buried in the weeds. I'm giving them another 2 weeks, then pulling them. I know the dirt's fertile enough. We've watered regularly. So, it's something ELSE wrong - most likely the tall weeds.

I think we're going to have enough 6x6s, etc left over from the old deck to build both woodsheds. We'll do that ourselves, since we're over waiting on everyone else to get things done.

Hopalong:
I''d love to hear how the studio colors choice pans out. Obsessed with color, me. Even though I have warm-light gray walls in part of the house, there are colors for about 60%. Very eclectic. I watched a flip show the other night and Every Single Time they consulted their designer, she proudly showed them nothing but gray, griege, and various whites. BORRRRRing!

Good to know you and Hol can brain share on that.

So sorry you and B once again have to try to explain to sluggish system folks what needs to happen, and one branch or another drops their end.

Glad you're letting the funkitude blow through. No season is a fail, they just keep coming. Fall in the mountains? Stunning.

hugs
Hops

I'd be SO relieved to know the old manager will be available during the switch and perhaps beyond.  That must take so much off your mind!

About the medical.... B's a hero when dealing with red tape and BS..... the armed services is made of the stuff, as I understand.  He's gutting it out... what are his choices?  Amazing man, B. 

About the tomatoes.... once I watered mine too  much and got huge green stalks and leaves and very little tomatoes. Just saying.  Could be that's a part of it.

For the studio, I vote duck egg blue/green..... it makes my soul calm and happy just to look at it.

Thanks for the update.
