happy friday! Mr. X has game on. I'm sipping diet pepsi. Heard from gf. They're camping in new apt until their furniture comes. That's kind of neat to be in nice, clean, empty place. I worked in closet tonight. Dumping books, old stuffed animals, and vids. Still don't have normal walk in access. Have to step over stuff to access. Anyway, it's coming along.
I told you I finally can work my printer? And can scan copy from an app. Just in time. Got some business papers to work on for about a month.
dr hook sounds like the musical group. King cheddah and fam. Well he sounds very imaginative!
that's terrible news from your landlord, izzy. Why doesn't he just get a personal insurance policy? The car repair shop is a business. I guess you have to go into house hunting mode. See if there's any other places on the mountain. It's such a shame, cuz that place is perfect for you:(

Lol!
The only place the BF has signal problems seems to be the refrigerator section of the grocery store...
He will call me to ask details about something I sent him for...and I only get to hear every 3rd or 4th word until he moves away from the milk and eggs!
There are is also a dead area where his phone drops the call...on his way to or from work...it isn't a big area, just annoying to have to call back after you drive a mile or so.
Yes...my health seems to have returned to normal rather quickly...
My saving grace was the fact that my stomach decided to reject the bad food before it got too far through the digestive system...therefore I didn't have to be sick while my bowels had to deal with it.
Once I had brought all the nastiness up and was dry-heaving, I continued to drink water that I would bring back up...but this seemed to rinse my stomach out and it wasn't long after that that I started feeling like I wasn't going to die anymore! Lol!
My newest news isn't happy...
The Landlord came to collect the rent and tell us that his commercial insurance company will not renew his policy on the property that we live on as long as the house we live in is being used as a residence...so it looks like we are going to have to fart magic and find another, suitable, affordable place to live...with no money saved to support said move!
We are hoping to find out that the property is zoned for mixed-use and we can get serious about the snow plowing business and the mechanic business and the insurance will allow a live-in commercial situation...but I fear that will not be acceptable and we will have to leave...
He has till September to announce their decision whether or not they plan to evict us.
The Body Shop, next door, needs to jump through some seemingly impossible hoops, also...but THEY don't run the risk of becoming HOMELESS!...just, maybe not be able to run the business they do, there, any more....But, they all have HOMES that they can go to, whether they can run the business there or not!
We are almost certain to be without an address of our own for a period of time...possibly causing me to need to find a more stable situation for Sarah (unwillingly placing her with the State), and most certainly causing Hope to have to live with her parents...
It is a rare case that any landlord that MIGHT rent to us would allow us to have our cat...Mountain homeowners seem to hate cats, which I can understand because of the damage that cat urine can do to wood floors and such...but that's why pet owners pay a PET DEPOSIT!...so that they don't have to have a family member euthanized just to be able to rent a place to live!!
I am so ...DEVASTATED!
I LOVE the mountain I have been living on!...I love the animals and birds!...I love the view and I even love the sound of the nearby highway!
Not only will the place I have been calling "Home" be ripped away from me...I am possibly facing losing Hope, Sarah and my CAT!
There really wouldn't be much else for me to lose after that...I'm afraid...
Actually I AM afraid...of where my head is going to go if I don't have Hope around to keep my head on the right way...y'know?
I have lived and gone through so many "tests" that life has thrown at me.....and I have always managed to muddle my way through...I haven't failed YET!
But...I'm getting old and tired and bitter...
None of the GOOD things come my way without having them yanked beyond my reach before I can grasp them.
I've been okay with that most of my life.
Then HOPE came into my life and I have looked forward to waking up to even the crummiest of days ever since she began to live with me!
She IS my hope...my inspiration to continue to struggle through hellish days...my desire to CARE!
I'm not sure how all this situation will pan out...but I'm notorious for dwelling on worst-case-scenarios...and I'm pretty sure the uncertainty of it all will take its toll on me.
(I have begun to feel the affects already...the unexpected tear falling when remembering things that have taken place in this house...Hope's "firsts...the cat's favorite place to sleep...)
A piece of me wants to curl into a little ball and try to hide from it all...
A piece of me wants to be mad...
A piece of me wants to just die and stop having these kind of things keep happening to me!
...and a piece of me just figures that whatever is supposed to happen WILL happen, whether I want or like it or not.
Well...I hope I didn't ramble on too much!
I'm feeling pretty cruddy right now and needed to shed a layer of the crud that makes me feel cruddy...so I can manage a smile, even when I don't feel much like smiling...
I plan to keep y'all updated on whatever transpires.
I hope everybody is having a pleasant week!  !

It's wash day at ye ole corral. Put a lot of new apps on phone. One was a painting one. Very colorful. Saw mention of bull run, which I don't understand. You want to race running bulls? Then, I thought, well it's a cultural thing, probably going back generations. Other countries shouldn't have to copy our ways.

I overdid it on the Fritos. Rats. Speaking of rats, neighborhood web says there's a great proliferation of them. Great. Don't feel like watering brown lawn with wash water. Got lazy. It's another lovely evening. Soft jazz and fan is on. I was reading, the story of the amulet, by e. Nesbit. 4 sibs in 1905 England get into magical adventures. Mainly going back in time and rubbing shoulders with history. For some reason I adore the Victorian age. And having lots of sibs. Wrote em to bro saying did he member me reading this book to him. I was obsessed with reading books to him. Did he retain the stories? Was he daydreaming? Did it benefit him having to focus?
Would love to stay up but tomorrow is work day. Going to lunch with Mr go. Have to bring Garmin. Don't want to end up on the freeway.
I'm glad we're not tracked when we read others posts. I like seeing what's up. And this is a pretty good site. Folks are mostly respectful. And if they aren't, well, they won't get visitors. What I like about the Victorian era is the emphasis on manners. Kids are taught to be a gentleman or lady. That was a big thing. A gentlemens word. Honor. I've been reading more.
Well, I'm off to the races. Have pink evening!

tours on again. Someone just had to abandon. Very depressing after having trained all year. Had another interesting religious convo with Mr. Go. Went fruit shopping for Mr. X. Got bananas, cherries, apples, peaches. But they had no small oranges.
used garmin going to restaurant. It kept wanting me to hop on freeway. I adjusted it to remove highway entrances.
yes lady di, 19th century respectful too. That's why I like sherlock holmes. They were gentlemen. Of course there were the loud, course type. I like 20th century through 40s. I think hats were the answer. In old black n white movies, men and women wore hats. And women didn't wear pants. Maybe one day the fashion will swing back.

This is probably a mentioning of the running of the bulls which takes place every year in Pamplona, Spain. Bulls are let loose in city streets filled with willing participants who then are chased by these bulls.
People from all over the world participate in the running of the bulls. Many are often injured and the last fatality was in 2009, according to an article I read on the internet.
The other Bull Run might be the ACW (American Civil War) Battle of Bull Run also known as the Battle of Manassas. Some ACW battle have two different names because the Union used natural land features to name battles and the Confederacy used nearby town names to name their battles.

I've never considered fueling my own veeeeeeehicle myself to be an inconvenience. You'd like Oregon. A gas attendant is on hand to fill your veeeeeeehicle. Oregon state law forbids common folk from fueling their own cars because the brilliant legislature came up with this idea to create jobs.
Forget Einstein. Forget Tesla. Forget Plato. Forget Aristotle. Forget Tolstoy.
Liberals are so smart we never have to worry about anything ever going boink. And liberals also never have to lie about anything to get their way.

Hey folks! ...I'm here, with the "no news is good news" report!
Yeah...we got news...a notice to vacate premises kinda news...
It was on the door when we returned from Sarah's somewhat chaotic doctor appointment.
Our phones had been shut off because the BF forgot to pay...so, as soon as we got Hope and Sarah loaded back into the house, the BF went to pay the phone bill and go to work till about 10pm.
I am left with this sudden realization that there will be no other options for us but to move...
Move to WHERE?...with what MONEY? ...and Landlord expects us to vacate in 30 days!
My only option is to start boxing stuff up (and cry!)) and hope for some kind of miracle!.....because without a miracle, I'm gonna have to throw a bunch of stuff away so I can fit the important stuff into an affordable storage unit and be homeless once again.
Only...this time we don't have a motorhome to borrow like we did last time.
I am so depressed! ...I just wish stuff would stop finding a way to pick on us!
We are good tenants...paid our rent...complied with requests....and we STILL get evicted because the landlord's commercial property insurance refuses to cover his property if anyone lives on the premises!
(The body shop shares the same address, well pump and gas line or I might try to buy the house we have been living in.)
If Hope weren't living with me and hadn't become nearly my life's breath, I'm pretty sure I would have made to choice to NEVER leave this house....ALIVE, anyway!
I know I would have considered a way to never have to face another day!
But, Hope came along and has given me reason to WANT to see what each day may bring!
Now I think she will be forced to live with her parents and my life will return to the black hole of misery and depression and overwhelming lack of hope it was before Hope gave my life a reason!
...Yeah...I'm in a really dark place & have no real life persons to talk to...so I brought it here...
Sometimes I can write it down and see it from a different point of view...but this time it seems to have driven the truth even harder into my heart!
I really need somebody to tell me "its all going to be okay!"....but I cant stand a liar...
I guess I'll go do stuff to keep me busy so I'll stop thinking about how quickly a bullet could remove all my worries in an instant.
(Did I mention a "dark place"?)
I hope stuff is good for you guys! SOMEbody better be having a really fantastic day!  !

Hi Izzy! That's terrible news. Does the bf have any suggestions? He has a lot of contacts. Can the state provide more for Sarah? Is there a half way house she and you could go? If going to the state was an option could you become a worker there? How is housing on your mountain? How did you get word of your current place? You can't give up hope, because you have Hope! Hope needs you in her life, and vice versa.

Hi, Folks! ...just wanted to drop by to keep ya updated...
Dazzy, those are great suggestions and I will keep them in mind!
Lady Diana, I have been looking for rental properties in my area on the internet, as I don't get to the store very often.
Word of mouth is the best advertising in the area we have been living...so BF told his boss and coworker about our dilemma ..
His coworker says his parents will have a house for rent around the end of August...
Maybe it will be affordable and suitable for Sarah's wheelchair! ...it has 3 bedrooms and a garage!...and a fenced yard!
....Well...I'm not holding my breath or getting letting myself get my hopes up, since all of this can change with the price of the rent....
...But, I feel slightly less hopeless than yesterday, anyway!
I am not only sad because I have to move...
I am sad because I have fallen in love with this little chunk of land...with its old trees that were modified by the Ute Indians so many hundreds of years ago...
I feel a kinship and a love for the ground, itself!
I fear that when we leave, those trees will be cut down to comply with insurance requirements...it makes me sad...
But...stuff happens whether we like it or not, I guess.
(I wish I could channel the spirits of the Indians that must be buried on this land and help them to keep this property from being developed for further commercial use...but I have had no "visions" or "messages" from the "beyond," so I guess I have no choice but to leave and don't look back!)
So...I have to commit myself to getting some boxes and to start packing......and throwing stuff away...
(I am just destined to only do stuff I don't want to do...Been that way most of my life, why should it change NOW?)
I hope everybody is having a nice day! ...a bit of a chilly wind, here...but completely comfortable!
The wildfires in Colorado sure don't need that wind! ...so far, no fires close to us, thankfully!
But some folks have lost some homes near Boulder...I feel bad for them!
That fire was started by 2 out-of-staters who left their campfire smoldering when they illegally camped on private property!
Another fire is still zero percent contained southwest of where we are...
Things went from soggy to crunchy in a matter of a few days...so the fire danger is in full swing!
Well...I gotta go...stuff won't get done if I don't do it!
Everybody have a good day!  !

Once in a great while we might get a free advertising paper in our mail, along with a the sale advertisements for 2 grocery stores...But most of the time the postal person puts our mail into the wrong box and the body shop winds up with all the free ads.
We are still in limbo about where we will be moving to...
BF needs to talk to his coworker's parents about the house that they will have up for rent.
Hope is away for the week...with her parents.
The other night, after a stressful day of worrying about our situation, Hope was sitting on my lap while I read news on the Internet and I was humming to her...and as she got sleepy, the last words she said to me before she fell asleep were "You can sleep in my room at mom n dad's house."
That brought a tear to my eye!
I had been hoping for somebody to make me feel better...to tell me that things would end up okay...and it was 3 year old Hope who said just the right words to make me feel like somebody cared!
When I was texting her mom about when they wanted Hope to come and stay a few days with them, her mom was making excuses for why they didn't come and get her during the week, I explained that I was grateful to have Hope with me...for she keeps me distracted from my disappointment.
I will need to keep myself extra busy in her absence...to help keep the depression and sadness at bay...
I have lots to keep me busy...though all that work is related to having to move and having to move makes me sad...I will stay focused on the tasks at hand and keep hoping that we will find an affordable rental in the very near future.
Our new friends, the Hummingbirds, will miss us when we leave!
I made a homemade hummingbird feeder out of a water bottle and a plastic bowl...things that would go into the trash or recycle bin...and filled it with sugar water and hung it on the back porch.
Now, when Hope or I step onto the back porch, as soon as the tiny birds see us, they fly around our heads and fly right up to Hope's face before flying to the feeder for a drink!
I had no idea that hummingbird exhibited this kind of behavior and was afraid that these tiny birds were trying to dive-bomb us...but it appears that they are only curious...or possible thanking us for the nectar we have been supplying them with.
They come to the feeder and sit on the edge and rest....and take long drinks before zooming off again.
In the evenings, 3 different birds visit and they chase each other and play what looks like Hummingbird Tag...
...Add a chipmunk, a few rabbits, the occasional deer or maybe an eagle floating on the current far overhead...and I don't miss having television at all! I have all the entertainment I could ask for...with no commercials! Lol!
I will really miss this place...small as it has been...with no automatic appliances like a dishwasher or clothes washer...
I have become accustomed to washing my clothes and dishes by hand...and never having space to put anything down...
I think I said it before...that it's not just moving from this house, it's moving from this piece of property that saddens me...the trees and the animals and the view of the highway...
Oh Well! As my grandfather used to tell me, "Mine is not to question 'Why?' Mine is but to 'do or die!"
(Funny how those sayings from your childhood have such more meaning when you become an adult! Lol!)
Well...I should get off me fanny and actually get something done...
I hope everybody is enjoying a pleasant weekend!  !
