I'm happily married to Mr. Man. We have 2 daughters, Big R and Little R. I'm a stay at home mom. We moved from the big city to the country, living a dream. I'm a collector and a packrat. I'd rather read a book than watch a movie. I battle depression. I love life, but that wasn't always the case. This is my journal.

Looks Like A Beautiful Day

As nice as it is to get the morning sun, it's also a pain. I'm up earlier than I want to be. We did rearrange the livingroom, so now the morning sun hits my computer dead on. I look forward to getting blinds for the windows.

I was going to take some pictures of the views off my balcony but of course the batteries in my camera died. I see a trip to Walmart in my future. Still didn't get dirt and flowers either. It's the middle of June, it's probably already too late.

We stopped at a few yard sales when we went to the reserve on the weekend. Guess what I bought? Books! I gave away several boxes full of books after my yard sale. They didn't sell very well. I still had boxes of books that I haven't read yet, so I kept those. And I kept my Stephen King collection. I kept a couple of odd books as well. I kind of wish I had kept all my collections, but we just don't have the room for them. I'm hoping to buy another bookcase soon to store our movies on. I noticed in the laundry room there's a pile of books. I guess it's like a book exchange. That's what I'll do with my books once I read them, rather than hanging onto them for years and years. I rarely read them more than once. That's good to know I have a way of getting rid of them one at a time.

I have a ton of laundry to do. We're considering taking it to a landromat and getting it all done. It sat on the basement floor at the house for weeks. I've done 3 loads of laundry here, it was all Mr. Mans stuff. It's expensive. Not to mention what a pain it is carrying it up and down. But I suppose it could be worse, at least we have an elevator.

The elevator wasn't working for 2 days. Like I say there is mostly old people living here. It's not cool that it took them 2 days to get it fixed. My back ache seems to be letting up, now my calves hurt from taking the stairs several times a day. Such is life in an apartment building. We've had our water turned off, we had the intrusion of getting all new windows and now a broken down elevator. But hey, I don't have to mow the grass or weed any gardens.

We got the livingroom rearranged, but thats about it. We didn't unpack anything more. Mr. Man doesn't have his tools here to hang pictures. Hopefully, he'll remember to bring them home today. It was a pretty unevetful weekend. All I seem to be doing is watching tv. It didn't take long for me to give up on keeping up with the dishes. I'm just depressed and don't want to do anything. The kitchen is so small there is no room for dirty dishes. I'll get on that today.

We still have about 20 boxes to unpack. Mr. Man stacked them so I really can't even get at them. Most of it is dishes and whatnot that goes in my china cabinets. I think it will take a couple more weeks. I think I'm going to have to get rid of the rocking chair. It just doesn't fit. At the house I had about 20 extra chairs. They all got thrown out. Such a waste. But I don't think we'll be needing them here. I don't plan on having any big family dinners.

I'm still confused. Sometimes I forget where I am and think I'm back in the city. Then I remember where I am and it's ok. Population is 27,000. Thats a small city or a big town. I'm getting used to all the noises and sirens etc. I'm sleeping better. I don't venture out much. I walk the dog around the property of the building. I'm still a little nervous walking him and don't go out on the street with him. Mr. Man has been taking him for long walks on the weekends.

Well I should go get dressed and take the dog out. Thankfully the elevator is fixed. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful day. I'm off. Have a great day.
