Spring Cleaning

I have the bug again. I want to clean and purge. Get rid of things that we never use. What’s the point in keeping stuff that you never need? Well I have gone through my clothes and have a pile that needs to go. Today I am taking pictures of every item and am going to start selling them on Bidding Wars. This is an awesome group. Post a pic and watch people bid and it must sell in 24 hours. If it doesn’t sell, repost until it does. I have a few other items that are not clothes and those I will put on the other Bidding Wars group.

With Spring cleaning comes the cleaning of the sundeck. Gregg and I did give it a quick clean so we can at least sit out there and enjoy the sunshine. We will pressure wash the deck next month. We did enjoy the deck for a bit over the Easter weekend, but after a few minutes of enjoying the sunshine the smell wafted up and assaulted my nostrils. Yes, once again the smell of dog urine and feces took the place of fresh air. I am hoping that this summer we will be able to use our deck. But I have this sad sinking feeling that it’s not going to happen.

I just don’t understand why the people below us can’t just take their dog outside to the dog area to do its business. How hard is it to get up in the morning and walk about 50 feet? They never take the dog out for a walk. It’s cruel. Why even have a pet?

I could complain and go on and on, but what’s the point? I am going to hope that they will stop and think about the rest of us that have to live here and they will keep their patio clean this summer.If they don’t, then I am going to be writing to the Strata Board every single day until something gets done.

 

This Year

Well, it’s 2013. I started the new year sick. Had a very bad cold that took forever to get rid of. I wanted to blog earlier than this but I just kept putting it off. I think I might be depressed. I have no energy, cant seem to get myself to do anything. Most days I just stay in my jammies and do nothing.

But I won’t let it get to me!

Christmas Time Again

Yes it’s time to pull out the boxes of decorations. get the tree out of storage and start hanging the lights outside. I have been waiting patiently for December 1st to hurry up and get here so I can start getting all Christmassy.

I started listening to Christmas music 2 weeks ago, yes I know that’s a bit early, but for some unknown reason I just had to do it. The Christmas bug caught me early.

So now I count the days until I can open the boxes and let out all my snowmen. But first we are cleaning our carpets. So much waiting! I want my tree! Smile with tongue out

Sad News

Yesterday I found out that a man I knew had died. I was saddened by this news. I really didn’t know him all that well, but it made my heart hurt for him and his family.

I first met him after my neck injury. He was the first one that helped me feel a little bit better. At first I wasn’t willing to let him near me, but after a few visits with him, I was felt that I could trust him. He was my Chiropractor. The first one that I let touch my neck after that horrible Chiropractor (Dana  Gueldner) had injured me.

I saw Jamie for about 2 years and then off and on for another 3. When I started to see this new guy Tony, I found out that they were friends and that Tony was going to be taking over his office while Jamie was sick. Well, Jamie had colon cancer and he couldn’t fight it. He made the effort but in the end it was too much for him.

I remember how happy he was the day his first child was born. I saw him that week and he was on top of the world. That is how I will always remember him. Happy bright eyes with a huge smile on his face. Rest in peace Jamie.
