Okay I have calmed down. Still pissed as hell but seriously when I took time to think about it really, what did I expect? This town is annoying on just about every possible level so why not by law trouble. First it was an unlocked empty garbage can. Next it was a report on our dog's health. And now a mattress leaning on a wall in an almost impossible to see carport. Thats all I am going to say here or I will be mad all over again.
Well we have signed the lease on Monte's office space. He is so excited! He has been looking at Marketplace for a couch...unfortunately they have become expensive on that site. Old raggedy couches, the kind that used to be fifty bucks, if that, are now 3-400. Sometimes I leave not the nicest messages on their ads. The other day there was a beat up rusty truck, 2003, 290 Ks, and he wanted five thousand dollars. I went on there and wrote "five thousand for a beat up, used up, rust bucket hoopty??? GET OFF MARKET PLACE. He sent back a two word suggestion that I shan't print here. I sent back a laugh emoji. But guess what? He took it off. I am definitely turning into a crotchety cranky old broad. This relentlessly awful town can do that to you.
So on the Monte front. When I saw him drooling over a 2000 dollar standing desk, I knew I would have to slow his roll without killing the hope and excitement. Having that office is such an obvious amazing perfect fix for what we all need in this house. Honestly I don't know why I haven't followed through on this thought. I have had it before. And because he is paying for it, it is all his, not something mommie is involved in. It really gets to him that he is a 34 yr. old man and he can't work.
So, I have told him to go shopping in this house before buying anything, even cheap crap from the thrift store. I want to get rid of some things and he needs stuff.
He immediately said he wanted the dining room table. I said yes before he could get the words out. That thing was being delegated to Tinny, the tin barn out back and we are going to get the table from Bamfield that April has. It's too big in her house. Monte needs a big table to work on. I am going to make him measure it and go see where it is going to go in his tiny office.
Also, do you remember that store that had Indonesian and Asian kitchy stuff and beautiful dark furniture? I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. Well Bill came home one day with an amazing humungous office chair. It was stunning. Upholstered, dark polished carved wooden arms and it swivelled. I mean it was gorgeous but way too big. It has been taking up way too much space in Monte's bedroom and not being used. That's going! His little fridge in the laundry room is going. The massive totally in the way third coffee pot he brought home the other day is going. (He is so much like his dad!!!) Half the huge mugs he likes are going. Etc....etc....etc....
So all in all this is going to be an epic change in our household, a good one. He will still be coming home to eat and sleep, well sleep. He eats out a lot. So we will be able to hit him up to help us with the tall or heavy stuff here at the house. Win win!!!!!
Again I apologize for the last post. Something in me cracked and has stayed cracked. I think I have been seriously holding back my true feelings about this hole and the dam has finally broken. Now I have to work on not being vocal about it. No negative Nancying!!!!! It's like Floppy, I held back on the dog convo. I promise I shall do that for this a** h*** town. Okay that was the last one!!! Lol!!
TFL &TTYL
Life is what you decide it will be. Just sometimes it's harder than other times. Thats all.
