It Has Been a While

I felt like I was getting better at posting and than things just seemed not to happen ha-ha. I mean it has not been like things have been interesting or anything.

Effie will be moving here in less than a month, tax season is upon us which means busy times with work, and I am re-learning to draw. Yes, I said that right. My right arm (which is my dominant arm) is in some pretty bad shape. Now I love to draw, colour, and paint but it puts extra stress on it. The options end up being that I continue on and lose the ability to do anything with my right arm very early on. I can quit drawing, writing letters, blogging, anything causing the extra strain but there is no release in that. Or I can do some of this stuff with my left arm.

It is not very much fun at all. I have been practicing with writing with my left hand for about six years now. I still very much write like a toddler or such just in a smaller fashion. I have always been able to colour in a child’s colouring book so I don’t feel like that is much of a feat. Drawing is kind of depressing though. I actually just drew a picture and I mean it could be worse but it is not pretty either. It isn’t even my style to began with.

Any ways my original plan for a series I am slightly moving away from because there are something’s that could become an issue. I started to think I could do my learning to draw as a series instead with bi-weekly or monthly updates. This would depend on how often I take the time (because it is a very slow process) to sit down and do something. Than I will also do updates with Effie and I’s ‘adventures’ on just as what we do together as friends but also living with a friend. This can be very hard and in some cases it can ruin a friendship

There should be plenty to share with you in the coming future and who knows maybe Effie will want to write her own pieces? We will just have to see how things turn out.

This Year is Going to be Exciting

So, I was going to make a post Monday night when I officially got my offical news but I didn’t get around to it. It is now Tuesday evening and I thought (you will see this Wednesday morning) I should get this done before I sit down and do more work. I mentioned in my 2015/2016 post that Effie and Little M might be moving up here. My official notice for the official month is March!! I am excited even though it is very much unknown. 

I don’t know exactly when in March (I am sure Effie doesn’t have an exact date picked out either) but it’s better than not knowing anything. I plan on talking to my landlord when he gets back from Vacation. I had mentioned something about this back in the fall just to see if it would be a problem and I didn’t get the feeling. 

Effie does know the address to the blog but I don’t know if she’s been looking at it at all. Not that I put anything too personal on here anyways.

Little M won’t be here right always, which I am sad about that a little. Him and his dad are going to stay at the current house till we get things figured out. Besides with it being tax season March/April I wouldn’t be able to provide as much help as would be needed. I think it’s great that they will get lots of one on one time anyways. 

I think I will leave it there. Now I am off to bathe Bullet, work on the pantry a little more, and than get some work done.

Hired Help

I have some ladies coming in to clean the house tomorrow and I have super mixed feeling about this. In the past I have never hired someone to come in and clean my house. The reason for this is I am one of those people that needs to have my house in order before people come in or I freak out on the inside. I rented from a rental agency though so I need everything to be done and I just do not have the energy to do it myself.

So what is it that I need to get done tonight so the ladies can actually get done what they need too? Well I need to finish packing (most of it is done) and making sure that I have 100% of everything moved away from the walls. Then I have to vacuum all the floors (I will post some pictures of the dog bunnies that can accumulate in a week). I need to have all the light fixtures done along with the inside of the kitchen cupboards. I am doing maybe a quarter of the cleaning myself since some areas are not really that bad. Plus, the floors will have paw prints all over them after they have  been washed. I do not want to pay someone to do them when I will be required to re-do them anyways.

I have my fingers crossed as I would love to have someone I can call a few times a year to come do my new place. I am great with the regular cleaning but so over the wall washing and getting all the nooks and crannies. I mean a girl has to splurge on herself once in a while right?

Renewal

I have renewed my domain for another year. It did take me about 15 minutes to decide as I have not been posting again. In the end my goal is to get back in here so I went through with it.

I am moving again in FOUR days! It is so insane. I still feel like I just moved into this place (I have only been here four – five months though). The new place is double the size of my current, two more parking spaces, a real backyard, and the best part it really is not costing me anymore. I mean some of my bills have gone up but hopefully not by a lot. How could I say no? I can actually settle myself in and the dogs have more room to be dogs. The only con is there is carpet but it just means that I need to get it cleaned regularly.

It is going to be a long few days for myself though. I just cannot wait till the final walkthrough is complete and I get my deposits back. I have been very careful here and I really do not want to penalized for it. Any ways I am off to work for the day…. Have Fun!
