stuff from tonite

I got off work early because some other people got off work early which made the work I was asked to do at work impossible to do.

I came home early and started puttering around the house.  Here are some things I noticed:

Toilets, tubs, and showers don't clean themselves.
Mildew grows under the bottles of conditioner you don't ever use.
You never have enough cleaner to clean everything when you want to clean it, but you can find almost empty bottles hidden in stuff under the sink to get the job done.
Mail piles up when you don't open it.
Your toenails don't quit growing just because you can't remember what you did with the clippers.
A paring knife is a poor replacement for toenail clippers. (No I didn't, I'm just sayin....)
Apparently laundry doesn't wash itself and the immigrant is holding me to my word that I need to start doing things for myself.  I always thought clean clothes just kind of, well,.... happened.
Dust accumulates weekly.
The little bedroom ain't as big as I thought it was but you can vacuum it in about three minutes.
There isn't a money tree in the back yard, contrary to popular belief.  It also seems that I'm not made of money either.
Your room is a lot nicer looking when you make your bed.
The automatic dishwasher is broken.  I just thought nobody used it.
Rabbits don't have anything on breeding like pussycats do.  Anybody want 11 kittens?
Magpies are lousy neighbors.
My beagle is getting old.  I can see it in her eyes.  Apparently she needs her nails clipped, too.
I'd be willing to bet I have the only apricot tree that has fruit on it in northern Utah (not even a couple of hard freezes could kill the apricots, apparently)
Grass grows as well as weeds, but only where you don't want it to.
You can make a pretty good dessert just from snooping through the cupboards.  (Chocolate cream pie with whipped cream!)

Well, that's all from Lark Circle Farm this lovely and warm! Saturday evening.  Maybe as soon as I change the laundry, I'll start a fire in my firepit on the patio and enjoy something cool to drink.

Don't forget church.  Haven't talked about that lately, but tomorrow is the Lord's day.  Make sure you spend some time with Him.

Oh, by the way, I found something else around here tonight.  I found my sense of humor.  I've missed that.

    You finally realized what the real world of being single is all about! LOL

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
