Status Quo

Happy September to everybody out in the Internet world. It's hard to believe that it's September already. This summer in Ohio really sucked big time. I truly believe that Mother Nature got her signals crossed.

We had my little nephew's (well not so little - he's 12) birthday party on Sunday. Now normally it's really hot when my niece has it. After all he's an August baby...you know the dog days...it's supposed to be hot. But, oh, not Sunday. It didn't even get out of the 60's. Not that 60's is that cold and some of you may like that. But not me. It reminded me of the fact that soon, I will have to put away the flip flops and wear socks with my shoes. I really dread that.

Not much is going on these days. The hubs is working to get another rental property finished and rented before the winter months. The problem is, he's a one man show and it takes him forever. I was hoping that we would win at least a part of the Mega Millions last week so he could hire some help. Tonight, he's tackling plumbing. But he does have a friend over, who's also a contractor to help him out. That's the last major thing to get done and then it's on to painting, staining, laying tile and carpet.

We're still dealing with the tenant issue and the eviction process. Court day is Thursday but not holding hope that she will show up. They've moved out but have yet to give us the keys. Looks like we may have to enlist the help of the Sheriff''s office to be there when we go in to assess the damage.

Health wise, we are both doing well...knock on wood that it stays that way and that our few months of both being down and out in the springtime are behind us.

So right now everything is good. Hope everyone has a good week and a nice holiday weekend!!
