’tis the season

It must be the beginning of summer. There is lots of busy happening, and not much posting, by me or anyone else lately. A week ago the big yard sale here on the peninsula was somewhat of a bust – it was rainy off and on. We went to a few while Ryan was here; [...]

better

 As I was finishing posting yesterday, a little twinge started in my right eye. I felt compelled to end my journal entry quickly, and take a hefty dose of Advil. The Migraine was coming. I went to lay down, cover my head and wait for it to be over. I wish there was a timetable [...]

Home. again.

 It was a long / short week. The trip down to San Diego was nice, albeit breif, but I did get to see some friends. As things played out, there were a few problems with the Falcon  (one of them resulted in killing my phone, so I’ve been without for several days, and the replacement should [...]

Listed! ( at last )

Okay, so we officially have a house on the market. Now of course, we wait for the buyers to beat a path to our door instead of the 156 other single family houses in Santee that are currently listed.  Could we have picked a worse time?   Here is a link to the listing:http://listings1.sandicor.com/SearchDetail/Scripts/PrtBuyFul/PrtBuyFul.asp?prp=mls&AgentId=625468&EmailKey=50369359 Of course [...]

Lazy

This morning I went to the dentist. Absolutely my worst thing ever to have to do. So, I took some prescribed Valium – one last night and one an hour before the appointment as the dentist had instructed me to do. This is only for the first half of a deep cleaning. I did pretty [...]

I am soo disturbed that the soldiers will now have to spend an additional three months in the middle east, as part of their tour of duty.  The biggest issue for the Army is retention; the troops there quickly learn that as soon as they can get out of the Army and go to work [...]

trip recap

So yesterday was spent catching up on life here. I feel so lucky that there wasn’t ‘work’ waiting for me ( well, there is, but it’s stuff that can get done next week).We went for a walk, and Sunny acted all goofy – happy to be back on one of her usual routes.  All of the [...]

there & back

We made it to the house and back without incident. We got back last night and have figured out that the halfway point is Red Bluff, CA. It is about eleven and a half hours ( with a trailer in tow) from Santee to there and the same from there to the house in Ocean [...]
