JOKE: we should have a way of telling people their breath stinks...//garage sale//poodle mix needs
JOKE: We should have a way of telling people their breath stinks without hurting their feelings like, "I'm bored, let's go brush your teeth!" lol.
70 degrees outside and its night. really great weather lately. dragging from getting home too late yesterday, shopping for supplies and all that.
attempted to go to the festival, could have too because early on sunday it's fairly empty around everywhere and less traffic. by lunch time there is TONS of traffic because everyone is out of church. attempted to go to that place that sells work clothes, but also has animal supplies but they are closed on sunday. got side-tracked looking at real estate for a. all the owners say the same thing, he has to sign a 7 month lease or there is tax added to the bill. there are clusters right by the ocean that start at $500 per month, he really should at least look at those. i said to the owners, if he agrees to pay the tax can he have a month to month? one said they aren't set up for it. there are deals out there but you have to find them and then they exist in clusters. he really is between a rock and a hard place and better off looking further north than where he is. he does waste money, like it never occurred to him to buy appliances at a thrift store or church sale or garage sale and he is dropping money on that even though he already has all of that stuff in storage, and then he has the expense of hotels and its like you won't have anything left soon. he says he has so much "bad luck" that he would never gamble and rn says, its not bad luck - he makes bad decisions. i think she is right.
also wondering if m was right in the beginning. she suggested he purchase a tent and go tent camping in an rv park for a few months, while he relocates. i got mad at her when she said it even though its what she did in tampa when she relocated from Georgia. then she got mad that i got mad. lol. i have never tent camped and it sounded dangerous to me, but compared to what he is doing all over the place, maybe she is right. the rv parks have tent sections and rv sections and there is a clubhouse with amenities, a swimming pool and a bath house with showers and bathrooms. its not really roughing it much. very outdoorsy. i can see an rv because it locks, but a tent? though girl scouts tent camp, a lot of people do. they also sleep under the stars, i've done that. i also think had he taken gordon's rental that was the best way to go. it also may have been cheapest for him to be at gordon's and to be honest, his wife to be at another one with his son. it sounds like its the THREE of them relocating together that is the problem. gordon's was only 250 with everything and one for his wife and son would be around 500 also with everything included. that is only 750 and its two places. much cheaper than weekly rates at hotels. what a disaster and he is back to sounding tired and looking stressed and drained.
a actually LOOKED better when he was staying by the beach by himself - don't know if that was from living without the stress of the 3 of them in one place or from the ocean air. he says for the passed 25 years all he has done is raise kids - so he basically went from living by his parents in jax to raising babies and two step daughters with his wife, that's a LOT for someone that young. he says he can't even remember what its like to not be doing that. its always himself, his wife and 4 kids and later on 4 grown kids. he sounds like c who used to work here and had 4 kids between the ages of 1 and 6 and he was like, everyone knows what my life is like. lol. i don't think that guy ever arrived at work without being exhausted. lol.
a is the same way, but different reasons. now there is only one kid with them (his son/grandson) but the son has Asperger's, so he has tantrums and you listen to this stuff and you think wth?
if a does better living by the ocean he should just look for something permanent by the ocean, why live inland unless you have no other choice. i hope this mobile thing works out for him. seems kind of high priced just for a mobile. his view is in 3 years he'll just be paying lot rent of $350 and that includes taxes, so they can relax for a change. the place has a pool, clubhouse, playground, tennis, basketball courts and the school system has the special things his son needs.
spent most of the morning on the phone. i'm still not all me and i kind of fade out and need to get back inside and lay down kind of thing. that happened when i was at the church sale and it happened just from being on the phone a long time, i actually had to go to sleep. could also be that its just too early in the morning. i'm not normal until after 12:00 even when i'm healthy. i'm hoping after my hemoglobin gets normal i'll have energy again.
was on the phone with rn for around an hour, she said what the doctor said, lose the weight and everything may improve. hmmm this is tough because i've never been overweight before these passed 13 years so i don't really know HOW to lose weight. if i can find a warm pool and stop working so many days i think i'd be back to being me again, or maybe that is wishful thinking because old age and a car wreck will definitely take a toll. being on statins gives you a preview of what it feels like to be old and feel like shit all the time, it seems to do more harm than good.
rn is on red yeast rice vitamin to lower cholesterol and its working, her cholesterol went down 12 points. she has a new rescue - a kitten and the guy - a - she is pet sitting for has a poodle mix rescue that needs a home asap but the dog gets out of fenced yards. when i was at the garage sale today, there was a man named bill there who was unloading dog supplies and i mentioned the dog. he said his wife loves poodles and he would ask her (he was also unloading a 12 foot boat for $125 (not bad) though we barely use the one we have.) they were having a family garage sale, him, his two sisters and his niece - they are all retired except for the niece. (there ARE two red heads living at that house, so its not plastic surgery or anything. lol. i couldn't figure it out. one is friendlier and younger than the other. not sure if both of them live there or not, even though i've lived around here for almost ten years. lol. kind of like c and her sister, used to confuse that as well. c lived there full time with her son (who's a TEENAGER now (time flies) and her sister lived there some years but not other years with her daughter and her dogs (because of the economy). both girls went to high school here and lived in rentals with their mother who was divorced and raising them on her own, which was still a new thing in the 70's. (or "tv" made it seem like a new things is more like it. read the book, "the way we never were" which exposes that the whole married with children thing is garbage and almost never works out. in indian culture a "marriage" lasts until the party's over, which was generally 3 years, it wasn't forced on you forever). i don't wear my glasses when i walk to the park and all of those houses are on the way to the park, so i don't have a clear view, everything looks like a monet painting.)
hope bill decides on the dog. if it goes through our rescue it has to go to obedience school and i have to make sure it has been fixed and shots, still need to find that out from a. if its not fixed and then it gets fixed a lot of animals become better behaved just from being fixed. wonder if the dog is a mini labradoodle? there is actually a big market for those.
