The gas company has finally responded to my persistant pestering and they came and marked out the digging spots yesterday and put in little flags! YES! As soon as the furnace goes on, boom, I am in the house. It's cold this morning, I turned on the furnace here. I want moved so bad that I thought about just using kero-suns or something, but, that's a pain in the ass and dangerous with all these crazy animals (and clumsy kid) I have. But, finally the gas company is on it. Hopefully, by the end of next week I'll have gas and we can really, for fucking real, MOVE! I want so much to spend this October Samhain and Halloween in my own house! I want my decorations too. But, I have no clue where they all are. Some of them are in here, some in sheds, some over there at the new house, some in the van. Fuck, I don't even know what I have any more and I continue to come across new ones all year. My mother fucked me good with that storage room deal and now she's gone senile and mad and half my stored shit is in here so she won't give it away. She threw out my 'old stuff' not realizing they were antique collectible Halloween decorations! Yes, she IS that stupid. I got them back before the trash men took them. I can hardly walk in this cabin. But, it was that, or lose them and I've been collecting for decades. She's so crazy it isn't worth talking about. Moving is always hard, but, this is triple hard because everything is so fucked up. I don't know how or where to start. If I had that garage over there cleared out it would be simple, but, I don't. It's still packed floor to ceiling with beer cases and beer cartons. Literally, floor to ceiling. The back yard has piles of left debris and construction waste too. I'm ignoring it for now. At least the house itself is all ready and clean. And the front and side yards look nice. I wish the house was painted, outside, but, I can live with it the way it is for now. Getting in there is what's important. I want the fuck out of here. NOW. These relatives are really nuts.
So, we're off to do some serious shopping. I hate shopping. It's also a very long ride for me, my legs are like two cement blocks this week and I'm using the crutches. But, it has to be done. Fuck this stupid town where you can't even buy tobacco oil or a damn Winter coat. But, it will be good to get these chores out of the way and at least Alissa is excited. One of us should be. I'll catch you when I get back. Let me know what you're up to on this fine October (OCTOBER!!!!) morning.

Another great beautiful day here. I can hardly believe my luck. I hope this will last a while. Good luck shopping!
So how did your trip go? I hope you got some great deals and found everything you were looking for.
I worked and ran my butt off today. It looked beautiful outside. The weather was sunny, but not too hot. The trees are changing color. It is supposed to be in the 80's for the next week or so, starting tomorrow.
My son's girlfriend is over here. She brought over some hard cover books of The Walking Dead. They were whooping and laughing wildly upstairs. I don't know if I should hope that they are having wild and crazy sex, or that they think The Walking Dead is hilariously funny.

Looked at the computer NOAA site late in the day and saw rain forecast for tomorrow so ran us both to the dog park right away. My boy is antsy anyhow and needed to run.
I got skin ripped off both knees a week ago, especially severe on the right. Won't stop hurting and won't heal. Guess I'll go in the rain tomorrow for another bottle of hydrogen peroxide and stuff. Can't put anything on it as a bandage and wrap. Hurts too much.
Hope you meant a 100 mile drive to town and another 100 back and not 200 one way. Hope Lis had a good time and that you got your stuff. I am getting so exited for you. Hope your day turned out very well.
Border, look into getting some Manuka honey to put on your wounds. You would be amazed at how fast it will heal. It's not cheap since it only comes from Australia. Just make sure it comes from a certified producer. I use Happy Valley or Comvita. Make sure it's a 15+ or higher. You can also try Medihoney or Therahoney. It's quite widely used in hospitals now especially for MRSA. It's also excellent for sore throats.
I had a large skin tag that got ripped off. I tried everything for months to get it to heal. Neosporin,bacitracin, silver ointment, nothing worked and I think it was getting infected. Within a little more than a week of using the honey it started to heal and is now completely healed.
Anon thank you I'll go out looking for it today.
You may only be able to find the certified jars and medi and therahoney on Amazon. Many health shops sell a brand of Manuka called Wedderspoon which is popular, but I've read it's not really up to par.
Glad I could help Border :)

Yeah, honey is a good antibiotic. Preppers store it for that reason. I did okay shopping, didn't get everything. Got tired out. Couldn't find a coat for the kid, she's so fucking picky. I told her if she doesn't get off it, she'll get one from the only store in town..the farm store. Got a nice big flat screen on sale that the guy hooked up this morning. He put a dish thing on my roof, but, it's a small thing. I won't know what to do with all the channels I get. Found tulle for my witch hat and went to some junk stores and found some awesome old flower pots real cheap. Those old glazed kind.
Christina, yeah, both ways. Actually, a little less, but, I always get lost.
Woo hoo Pat! So happy and excited for you :-)
ANON I left a further note on the current post of the "cat" in the tree. Amazon it is. Utter fail finding it to buy locally.
Pat so pleased you have so many tv channels now. Are you sleeping at the house yet? I doubt it, but when you do, you'll have tv watch at 3 o'clock in the morning with insomnia.
I can't sleep there yet, it's too cold for the kid. I could stand it fine, but, she's a child, so I'm waiting for the gas men to dig the new line.
Great news about the gas line/pending move. I think I understand how overwhelmed you feel at the prospect of getting everything done. The only thing I can suggest is to attend to the most pressing matters and the rest just will have to happen when they can happen. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
Angie, yes. I'm so worried that my mother will take over when my back is turned though. You have no idea how bad she can be. Yesterday she picked a fight with me over my old worn out fugly 70's couch. I said I don't want it and I'm NOT taking it. She argued and argued until finally I yelled at her to shut up. If she wants it, she can have it. If she wants it out of here, I will set it on the curb for some broke college kid. But, she will not force me to take that monstrosity with me just because she likes it. She's fucked in the head.
She even said she could hire someone to move it, so now I have to padlock my door whenever I leave the house. She'll do it. She's stolen my cars before. Or had them stolen, I should say. She replaces them with what she likes. Without asking me. Once I came home and a sofa I liked was gone and a new ugly one was sitting there. She's fucked, you have no idea the shit she pulls.
ps..she has also invited her friends in here for little coffee parties while I was at work because my house looks better. It doesn't now, ha. It looks like hoarder shit. But, I used to come home to that crap. I don't even know these fucking people snooping around in my house. It was infuriating. She broke the door like, like 10 times. Now I have a fucking padlock.
PPS, I am also embarrassed to have the moving men come here. It is really awful. AND I have to figure out how to move 'fat cat' and his enormous cage inconspicuously.
Under the cover of darkness. Dismantled.
Make the moving men move the cage. Yeah I know it would get broken but they can climb a tree while you bitch at them.
