stealing a little time
i am up sort early this morning and havent let any of the animals out yet... gotta walk those dogs.... dan gets the biggest kick out of letting them out of the condo he sits right next to the patio door and opens it up and lets them go... which of course is not ok with the city...... but in reality we live right on the border of city limits and we have a pasture a couple hundred feet away from us and a soybean field about 25 feet from us with deer that are routinley out and about teasing the dogs.. so dan ( and even the prestroke dan) just lets them go every so often.... but i have tried to explain the why we cant to him.the dogs are good therapy for dan i have to admit... and our move has definatley been the smartest thing i have done yet.. to bad it has costed a fortune- ( that we dont have) but it is what it is.......... so i am stealing some time for me to type this blog... the cat also gets locked in the garage at night-- fair is fair.... guess who is the noisiest?? the cats meowing ... what a baby -- the garage is heated for crying out loud.. and if she didnt walk around at night meowing she could stay in the house.... dan does seem more at ease with the move than i thought he would pbe... or we do mourn our loss of the farm life for sure but it is a casualty of the stroke.. dan doesent like to go out to the farm to "check things" like i need to every couple days..and to pick up the mail i have not officially moved us as far as our mail is concerned as we have a trip coming up and the passport and us need to get along - so to speak-- so i left it alone- for now... and i havenet sold the place yet the economy here is in such a flux... we will be getting a billion - yes a BILLION dollar plant here along with other plants right here in jamestown... so this has caused a wierd situation where do i or dont i sell right now?? so i am holding firm to my price i have had offers but it will take awhile for jamestown to figure out what end is up in the current market.. i know for any of you who reading this - that this is most likley different from your economy-- but do not send relatives up here to look for work.. untill the housing situation is figured out our housing is very limited and they gotta get some - man camps - set up first and believe me these winters can be brutal.... well i'm gonna eat my last burned tortilla and take the dogs for their walk.. just a update.. oh one thing about me-- i am living less with my heart in my throat all the time-- i have lived with so much fear for so long that it feels good to be normal- well stroke normal..nancyl
