holy shit – it’s August 10th ! I have really missed the deadline for this post. I have a list of lame excuses, but will spare you by not including them in this update.
If nothing else, July has been a month of anniversaries. July 18th – our 43rd wedding anniversary. July 19th – our first anniversary living here at 6619 St Rt 45. The weekend of July 26th-28th – my 50th high school reunion.
It’s no secret, that I was completely spent and exhausted after we moved in to our retirement home last July. There has some activity over the past 12 months, but not a lot progress when actual work on projects typically spanned from noon until four. Troubling for me, was realizing, that I was falling into a likeable routine of laziness. When we celebrated the 1 year moving anniversary, told myself it is time to get off my ass, and get some shit done. Not as easy as it sounds, and probably because I’m 68 years old, and doing nothing felt pretty good. I’m determined to get up and complete what I started in April 2022.
Some good news: we put in an offer for the slum property to the north, and our offer was accepted ! We close on the purchase and will own it on August 16th. Have already begun picking up trash and making separate piles of garbage, recycling steel and aluminum. Mowed the place for the first time in several years. Cutting up downed trees and figuring out the best way to demolish the camper trailer. It’s been good therapy as well, doing mindless physical work.
I’m going to end this post here, and work harder to be punctual for the August summary.
