People

I must be getting crotchety in my old age. Why you ask? Because I get tired of people really quickly. I have the urge to move somewhere in the middle of nowhere just so I don't have to hear them or interact with them on a social level. At least face to face. The life of a hermit is looking very nice. It would have to be warm, with high speed internet...

Tell your Pookie you Love them and make a nice day.

Money

While I was in Florida for Mud's graduation, Gorgeous let me know that the washer died. It wouldn't do anything. It was probably 11 years old so I just figured it was time to replace it. I know I have pulled it apart and fixed it twice when something broke on it. When I got back from Florida we went to Sears and purchased the one she had picked out. Delivery time was two weeks, so she had to wash clothes next door. It got delivered yesterday and I paid for installation, but they didn't hook it up because they couldn't get one of the old hoses off. When I got home everything was just sitting there in the hallway, so I got out the channel locks and managed to get the hose off along with half of the faucet. Trip to Home Depot and then again to Lowes to get a new one. Got the new one installed and everything connected and plugged in, push the start button and nothing. Went to the breaker box and found that the washer breaker was tripped. Joy. Spent a crapload of money because the breaker was tripped. I even asked Gorgeous if she checked the breaker and she told me the dryer worked...

Remember to tell your Pookie you love them!

Old

It has been almost a year since I posted anything. Far cry from the once a week I used to be lucky enough to do. Mud turned 18 and she graduated high school. My little girl isn't a little girl anymore. She is still living with her mother down on the Space Coast, ironically enough where I started this blog at. I miss her so much. Some days I just don't feel like coming home. Like this is just where I sleep and nothing more. Even though Gorgeous and the boy are here, the house seems empty. The boy hardly ever comes out of his room, even for food. Which is weird. When I was his age I was always looking for food. Gorgeous is always working on some project, which she has about a dozen that in progress. I wonder when any of them will ever get completed.

More news, the company I work for has switched all of us to teleworkers, so I am in my basement office a whole lot nowadays. It can be a little depressing since there are no windows, but it is somewhere to put all the computers.
