I did it! I did it! I killed a snake - with an uber heavy post tamper but who cares they are dead and gone. Between my dad and I, four of the lil' bastards are gone, but there is one more lurking under the porch so I am conducting constant vigilance with the post tamper near at hand!
Mom and dad were out this last week helping me with fix-its around the house - thank goodness! I now have a usable light in the bathroom; trim to cover the gaping hole where it wasn't and a functioning door knob on the entry door! Amazing what deteriorates after two years of no-one living there and very little maintenance prior to that. The parental units also brought my furniture, and let me tell you that first night in my own bed was heavenly! :) We got the old furniture moved around and my stuff moved in. Aside from the teal walls and the yellow/brown colored carpet it looks pretty good in my attic bedroom! Ooooh yes, teal and affirmative I am planning on painting. A nice sage green will go on the walls and some searching for a new carpet remnant will be done. I swear this house is getting a serious update just because it's got a serious 30's-70's vibe going on! :)
As for the good part of work, I started a new blog (hopefully people on the reservation use it) and have met a lot of people. I am still learning my way around here and the paperwork that has to be navigated is astronomical - universities, I swear! I am enjoying the freedom to set my own schedule and not have someone breathing down my neck! It's glorious! :) I am still working on becoming a Montana resident and have to wait for my newly ordered birth certificate to get here before I can get a driver's license, the apparent key to everything, before I can vote, buy a car or just about anything else. So we're in a waiting game with that one!So far so good! I've been busy cleaning out the office I've inherited and when I say inherited I mean it. There is crap in here from the 60's that I'm purging. This office was gone thru about two years ago but the dude's doing it were not as judicious about throwing things away as I am being. There are original versions of the textbooks I saved from my Bachelors! Now you tell me what good is that? Anyways - venting over! :)
The weather here has been hit or miss for sure. While mom and dad were here it was sunny and in the 80's. Today it is windy and grey. I am wearing a fleece and running the heater in my office and by the end of the week it's supposed to be sunny and in the 90's...go figure! LOL My wheelbarrow and BBQ planters are doing really well, but my strawberries are getting wind-whipped. I need to move them ASAP before they go TU on me. I am excited because I kind of get to start all over again with the garden because it is so much later here than at home.
Well, I am on my way out for the day but wanted to get a post up. I am helping at the Blaine County Fair tomorrow and Friday I plan to rest a bit and then clean this office some more - only two more floor-to-ceiling stacks left. Oooh but then there's the two other storage rooms! It's ok....they'll give me something to do when spring/cabin fever hits in March! I am out like trout ya'll - hope ya have a good day! :)
