Happy Moonday!
Happy Start of Summer although I don’t know why the holiday doesn’t fall on next Friday when Friday is the real Holiday even though I know the rule is that Holidays fall on the Monday which precedes the real Holiday.
It’s a beautiful 62 degrees outside, the sun is shining and there is a slight breeze.
My nieces sprinkle is today. I won’t be attending for multiple reasons.
Her due date has been switched from June 19 to June 9 to accommodate her doctors vacation plans.
My plans for today are irk, and the OAOASO said something about lunch. I’m not holding my breath. He sent a text a few hours ago saying I have to come out his way and I said what time and still haven’t heard back.
The Sah-son has three more days of school, Thorsday being his last day. It has been decided and agreed upon - finally - that he doesn’t have to and won’t graduate on stage.
I have to get out all his announcements because my mother is having a cow because I didn’t send out announcements and neither did the HFH, so my mother has sent out tons of money for other peoples kids and it’s time she got a return.
So I have to make him write out 50 announcements, which would be a lot easier if I didn’t have to hunt down all the addresses. It would be easier to do it myself but several of my aunts have already called to inquire and said the handwriting better be his.
House hunting has taken a back seat to a few other things but will be resuming soon. The agent got in touch with me yesterday. I still haven’t heard back from the mortgage company. However I found another company that I think :::crossing fingers::: will do mortgages under $75,000. The original company is annoying me because twice they have not responded to my questions.
So the big plan for the summer is to find a house and move.
I go back and forth with what I want. I think a nice little two bedroom condo but that doesn’t work because condo financing is different. I don’t know if Sah-son is coming with me. I want off street parking and sometimes I think two bedrooms is enough but then it would be nice to have a separate office and a craft/guest room. Then again to do I want to heat and AC more house than I need, but a spare room or two is nice too. I’d like a yard for the dog, but a big yard is more work but a small yard means I am close to my neighbors and neighbors can be a PITA.
I feel like too much is up in the air right now.
Once the son is out of school driving practice will be priority for him, to get those 60+ hours in and get his license.
Also the big push to have him get a summer job and to decide where he will go to college. If he stays here he will go to the local community college, where he already has credits. If he moves with me then I’ll look at the colleges out that way. Then again he has a line on a job that pays pretty well so maybe he will get it and work full time and go to school part time.
The man who gave us the lead said to call once school is out, they provide all training and everything and the money is pretty good.
Once again so much is up in the air it’s hard to make a decision.
No big plans for the summer at all. I may go down the ocean for a day or two. OAOASO is supposed to get his boat fixed and supposedly we will go out on the weekends, but I’ve been hearing that for the last two years so I’m not holding my breath.
This is the year where I have made up my mind to refinish my desk.
One of the last things my father bought me before he died was a roll top desk kit. It had 108 pieces and somehow I managed to put it together by myself. I wish I had left it white because I liked it that way but I though a white roll top desk is too weird so I stained it. The problem was nobody told me not to use a water based stain on white pine.
So that can be my summer project after I move and have room to work on it.
I see a lot of shopping over the summer as well.
I need everything.
I’m pretty sure I have dishes up in the attic and a few pots and pans.
My vacuum got broken, my microwave is long gone, my toaster oven is long gone. I lent my fridge to a friend 16 years ago when I moved and I’m sure not going to ask for it back now. She had just been widowed and had no money and her fridge had just gone up.
Getting a cat is on the agenda.
Damn I sure wrote a lot for someone who has no life and isn’t doing very much,
