Fall is finally here! My favorite time of the year. I got my portable air conditioner all put away till next year. Cleaned it all out. I have to make sure there is not a drop of water left inside. I run just the fan part for a few hours. Cleaned the filter and vacuumed the elements. I cover it with a big plastic bag and roll it into the closet. Now I have my air purifier running constantly because of the mold and mildew in the walls here. I can always tell the difference as soon as I stop using the air conditioner. My eyes start bothering me more and my nose runs and I start sneezing. That's why I have to keep the air purifier going. And those filters are not cheap!
I am expecting to hear from the management any day. I haven't heard anything yet about the rat. The live trap is sitting down inside that grate but the rat won't go down there now. He's so smart. I was watching him yesterday as he grabbed grass and leaves and took them inside the rock wall to his nest. At least I know where his nest is. That's where I'll have to put the peanut butter balls and hope to God that no other little critters find them. I am going to ask some of my friends on Facebook if they have a pellet pistol. I could shoot him easy because he is so used to me now that he hangs outside on the grass sometimes. I used to be a very good shot with one of those things. I had two when I moved here but sold them. Wish I hadn't now. I'll figure out something.
I went out last night to Walmart to get a few groceries. It gets dark so early now. It was nice and cool and the moon was bright. Half moon. I tried to see it from my window when I got home but it was behind all the trees as usual so didn't bother trying to get a picture. One of these evenings I will take my camera with me and get a good, clear shot at the moon again. I want to try and get out this fall to take some pictures. I haven't done that in a few years.
I've been feeling pretty good lately. Just that tumor in my groin is stinging a bit. Not all the time. just when I try to do too much I think. And that air conditioner was a bit heavy. It was up on my stool and I had to slide it down to the floor. And bending seems to bother it more. That's because it's getting squished when I bend over.
Last night I had a wicked pain in the side of my neck and it's still there a little this morning. I must have strained it yesterday but can't figure out how. It's just a muscle strain I think.
I've been doing real good and haven't taken any Ibuprofen for over a month now. It is an anti inflammatory though and am wondering if maybe they were good for me in one way. But I quit them because of my liver more than anything. It's still better to not have any meds in me if I don't need them yet, so I will stay off them as much as I can.
My sister, Debby, came home on Friday from the hospital I think. I still haven;t talked to her about her operation. She is off work for six weeks now. But the good news is, she bought that trailer that sits right next to Jane and Savey's!! Jane called me yesterday to tell me. That's the one that Jane was going to buy and rent to her. So all she will have to pay is the rent to the park that it sits in and it's all electric and she is on Ilion's so that won't cost her much. I'm so happy for her! She will finally have her own place! It's an older trailer but has been all remodeled and it's real nice. Deb's daughter, Danielle has been up here with her for a few days. And Debby has been out and about. Just hope she doesn't overdo herself before her body heals up properly. She'll be so anxious to get moving that she will end up pulling her stitches if she isn't careful.
Maybe I'll get to see her place someday. I might be able to get up a couple steps.
Nina is waiting for the background check to be complete for her new job. She has already told the college that she might be done in December so they are aware and she said they are happy for her and glad that she will be able to finish out the semester first.
The kids got their pictures taken in school. Can't wait to see them.
Steve had a big house sale and is selling everything. Not because he's planning on moving. I guess he just wants the money. He stays at Grace's every night as it is. Jane told him not to sell Chris's old kitchen table set because it belonged to Gavin but she thinks he did. And he never gave Gavin any money for it. So Jane is pissed at him for that. But that's how Steve is. That's why I would never give him anything that was in the family. He'd end up selling it.
Haven't heard anything about Gavin.
Guess I better get going. Got to uncover my birds and get the day started.
Take care everyone.
