Making Dreams Come True

 
It has been a busy couple of days.  Yesterday I made another trip to the dump with my little pick-up.

 I must be crazy.... I love going to the dump.

As hard as the work is, it is also freeing.   I drive away from the garbage transfer station... one step closer to my dreams.

Each day another step.

Each day one step closer.



Thursday I paid a handyman to help me take apart the sliding glass door to the patio.  We cleaned it and put it back together again and it slides like a greased pig.  It has been important for me to recognize that sometimes I need help and find a way to just get it done.  Two hours with a handyman is a lot less expensive than a new slider door with installation.

Friday I worked on the bathroom.  I re-stained a cabinet above the toilet. Spilled a can of stain on me and the bathtub.  Not to worry, the bathtub and I cleaned up with paint thinner and a lot of Dawn soap.  I swear Dawn Soap works miracles.  It should be in every RV emergency kit along with duct tape and WD 40.

In honesty I should admit I fell off the counter in the bathroom.  I know I shouldn't be standing on the counter.  For heavens sake I have enough trouble standing on solid land.  But I did manage to stain the wood next to the ceiling before my tumble.  I'm a bit sore but fortunately I wasn't badly hurt.....this time.  I must be more careful, as I certainly don't need any more broken bones.

Today I was fortunate to have some help.  My son-in-law and his friend came with a big pick-up and we loaded yard waste and old yard toys and off to the dump they went.  An old work bench from down stairs, a broken chest of drawers and much more that I had piled up.

Gone, Gone, Gone!

My handyman was back this afternoon with a solid wood replacement front door.  He picked it up at Habitat for Humanity for $15.  Two hours later and it's in place to welcome a new owner.

I'm pooped and  I'm done for the day.   I hope I have the energy to eat!!!
