Got Ali mostly moved into her new room yesterday. She slept in her new room last night. Here are a few pics. Finished and what I started with. The bed is antique, and she and Scott repainted it. Hard to tell but just almond color with a champagne gold on the accent pieces. The dresser was navy blue, we painted it almond like the bed and Ali used the same champagne on the handles as the bed.
Scott put her new bookshelf together this morning, she is happily moving books now and then all that is left are her closet clothes.
Now to get Ty's room (the one they were sharing) reconfigured and cleaned up for him. No painting, just rearranging.
First day of school for them tomorrow. I think they are ready. I'm nervous.
Working on my feet. Deep conditioning my hair. Doing a facial. Drumming. Lifting weights. Doing squats. Eating pumpkin spice donuts with Lays chips every other bite.
Harvested grapes. Wondering if I could smoosh them between my minty fresh toes and make wine. How does that work?
Good luck with school, I hope everything goes well.
@Hedda Gabler 🤣 send me pictures.
....minty fresh toes.....can ya brush mah teef????
Now, you might say, "Dana, YOU were Gladys Kravitz by watching her." And I tell you, no I wasn't. I was already in my front yard watering my flowers. It was very early in the morning and she didn't see me.
So, if I have a neighbor doing something wicked, and I'm standing out there anyway, I might as well watch the show.
This is a woman who will turn people into the city for the most minor things. I know this is true because she has proudly told me she does it. But, she claims Randy, a mutual neighbor, is the gossip in our hood. She's just fibbing with that one. She is so rude and will say absolutely whatever pops into her head -- one time I looked at her and said, "You have no filter, do you?" Oh man! The look on her face was priceless.
When my fence recently fell down and I had it hilly-billy zip-tied, I have no doubt she probably turned me in.
There are the gossips (although gossip is such a harsh word to use) who spread information out of kindness and support. Helpers.
Then there are the gossips who spread information or disinformation in a way that takes great glee in someone else's struggles and distress.
My neighbor loves when the universe is taking a nice healthy s*** on someone's head. She loves it. And she can't wait to spread it and analyze it and critique the players and judge them.
She has a pitiful life and when someone's fortunes are worse than hers, she is in her happy element.
I will sit in my car and watch people so I can gossip about them. And some of these people I will send invisible good energy because they will trigger the loving side of me. Others who I deem dumbasses, I will take great glee in watching them step in warm gum that stretches long past their step.
Have a great day everyone!
Ty is a solid A and B student and he is ok with all his teachers so far except pe. He hates pe and the teacher is also a coach, and one who heavily favors his athletes. So Ty is not going to enjoy pe.
The mask thing, I just don't know. Ty said his was on all day, except for lunchtime. Ali had hers on most of the day too. They have plexiglass up on lunch tables, on desks. No one is getting a locker. Everyone is getting either an ipad or chromebook to drag to and from every day. No touching! Not each other. Not each others things. I get we need to be safe, careful, etc. But I worry about what we are doing to our kids' mental health through all this. Not to get all controversial. We believe it is important for our kids to be IN school. Everyone was given the choice of in school or more virtual stuff. I just wish they could have normal school days. Sports are a go here at least for now. Ali is in band, you know spit is flying there! Inevitable. We'll see how it goes.
