    House Painting is done

    Since September 25th, we’ve had construction and final painting going on until today. Today was brutal, doors painted had to be left open, had to put all cats into bedrooms with doors shut, and I had to baby sit the chicken (Madame Chicken-legs) … she kept getting paint on herself, being an inquisitive people chicken.


  • Windows were finished inside yesterday

    Windows were finished inside yesterday

    Two windows need molding around them on the inside of the house. (My office and a stubbed bathroom in the “basement.”) All windows then need caulking between quarter-round and casing, then prime, then white enamel. The house siding is nearly all installed. A very long job. The crew (sub-contracted) doing it got reamed out by…


  • New Windows and Siding

    New Windows and Siding

    Windows were installed on Monday and finished on Tuesday. We do have to foam fill the sides and top, and put additional casing all around the windows on the inside (except the kitchen window, it’s completely installed in and out.) These windows are triple pane, .25 U-factor (4) A super duper upgrade to what was…


  • Always Inquisitive

    Always Inquisitive

    Madame Chicken-legs’ tail looks to be feathering out more. She’s staying around all the time, sleeping on our front porch, or if she can get into the garage is happy to camp out there for the night. She is established as the “have to check THIS out!” thing. Always looking and following. Today’s picture are…


  • Migraine Switcher Misery

    I woke up before 4am today. Didn’t feel like I could go back to sleep. So I was up, drank water, listened to music in my office, time went on, I was enragengly hungry suddenly. It became so insistent I had to go make bacon and and a fried egg. Eating that at 5am was…


  • Bonk, Bonk, Bonk, Bonk, Bonk…

    I had a migraine building last night. Tried to go to sleep, bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk… over and over … it was right there in my head, but it wasn’t my imagination. It kept going most of the evening, 11pm it was still going, and I lost consciousness somewhere after that. Stuff like this…

  • House getting better

    House getting better

    Our house was built in 1997. We moved into it new. The Windows Were Junk. Not good, and the screens weren’t easily replaced, so we have no screens for many years on most windows, and broken vinyl frames inside, and a few broken windows (double pane inside panes broken.) All sorts of things that needed…


  • Madame Chicken-legs

    Madame Chicken-legs

    We have been adopted by a chicken, in fact a hen, and very friendly to EVERYBODY hen. She was in the neighborhood, free-ranging, and sauntered onto our property and took a great liking to us, returning again and again and finally over a week ago now, pretty much hangs out on our lot.

  • Fall Seasonal Allergies, yes I fall for them

    Autumn Seasonal Allergies have ramped up the last few days, leaving me with a sore raw throat yesterday late afternoon, and sinus pressure everywhere increasing …. sneezing, dripping, feeling off, slow, thick, emotionless. OH JUST BE DONE WITH IT! Today I feel like a zombie. Inflammation is at play too. Won’t get through the days…
