ewwww!

I learned this from a Marine:  it all washes off with soap and water.  That's probably true, but it doesn't make the task more pleasant.

The dryer is fully functional with the replacement of the light bulb.  It was like burning out the light bulb was the last little jab at me, but it's fixed.  I was so pleased that the laundry was done and put away, the dishes likewise.  My house, for a bachelor, and the size of it is as clean as I can get it right now.  There is much to be put away, but none of it is mine and its' owner is MIA.  So, like I said, I was pleased with myself that my house is clean and then I opened the fridge.

The MIA one has a problem with hoarding.  I do too, and I'll admit it, but mine is confined to the size of a small box and involves miscellaneous screws, nuts, nails, and washers.  I have a box full of them.  The hoarding thing though fills up two rooms in my house; the storage room and then a small bedroom.  It's also spilled over into the coat closet and family room.  What was in the laundry room is on a table waiting for the return of the immigrant.

The fridge though?  Hoarding in the fridge?  Yep.  And today, I cleaned out the fridge.  I'm gonna wait it out two more weeks and then I'm going to apply the same thing to the freezer.  There was stuff in my fridge that I have no idea where it came from.

Well I have a pretty good idea where it came from but I'm gonna keep my mouth shut about it, except to say that just because something is free does not make it something you ought to have twenty of.

The fridge is cleaned and I had to fix a few things in it.  Over the time I've lived here, it's been filled beyond capacity many times with similar loads of what I would call crap and the shelves show a lot of wear and tear.  I have fixed what I can.  A new one will have to wait for a couple of years though.

I'm glad I took the time.  All of the moldy oldies have been tossed.  The shelves are clean again and it's quite empty.   That's not a bad thing.  There's plenty of food in the house and it's just me, so it's not like it NEEDS to be full right now.

Well that's my story.  Carpets clean.  Toilets clean.  Laundry done and folded.  And no more eeewwwww in the fridge.  Not a bad weekend.

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...
