Buck cries for Jack

And when I opened the door out pops Jack, scared and wet but back. Which is good as Buck cried all night long for him. And again blogger will not let me give you a photo line up of life....

and

Did I mention the entire house is being rewired so it will not burn down to the ground? And so far we have over 3000 feet of 12/2 14/3 14/2 yadda yadda oh...did I too mention that all the plumbing is or has been completely replaced as well...We will be able to call it a brand new house by the time everything is finished.

Headline News

Well it seems that the Halleyville Ranch located it the very center of chaos has had just a few things that had to come crashing down around the farm fairy. This is news folks...The farm fairy had tears streaming down her face. As some if not all of you know there is a policy that reads "There is absolutely ,positively no snivelling, whining or crying" you will be immediately asked to leave without question. Period.

How in the world did this happen asked one worker......


Well lets see last night there was no hot water for a bath, no outlets on to grind coffee, then Jack (baby black kitten ) disappeared and the final straw was the irrigation and pasture water lines had been cut and capped. oh and the farm fairy got a urinary/bladder infection that set her sideways to the point that she could not pick up a glass of water. When the plumbers and electricians finally left the walk in clinic was closed.....

Bruno called his bride and said he had a dream that he was not allowed to come home until the house was done. And he never got to return as each time he called home his farm fairy said the house was not done yet.

maybe Bruno and farm fairy could meet at Seatac airport and just run away...to the Big Island.......h now that my friends is a dream.

and did I mention.....

That the electricians that assured me they would return so I might have an oven or a microwave to heat some supper up did not bother to show up nor call? They had said they would hook up the heated travertine floors and my toes would be toasty by 8pm? and I would have a hot meal which I now have been with out for over a week.....ugh! I love my life. I love my life......Thank heavens Bruno is not here and can not see his Goonbalina melt down....at least I have cereal for dinner right?

I have water issues....

It seems that this farm fairy is destine to have a lifetime full of water issues...From nearly drowning off the Hotel Coronado too not having hot water. A bath is all I wanted and there I was so happily trying to fill the new tub up where in my mind I could drift off just enough, crawl into bed and sleep a full night. My dream, my need ( at least I thought) and frankly my little escape from the world in general.I had turned on the hand held and washed out the kitty tracks that the tub now had mysteriously gotten and then I locked in the drain to filler her up.

What I got was me standing over the tub buck ass naked screaming at it...." No, damn it just a hot bath, I need a bath, hell, I want one" and out the spout came cold water.....turned on the other one and got ice cold water.....I wanted to scream or cry or laugh....and spent the next few minutes making a phone call to the guys regarding no hot water... Never mind it has started to rain here already...Never mind that it is pissing down rain right now. Never mind that the tub has the leak that I thought was fixed...a little leak that covered the floor, which involved one of two clean and dry towels that managed to keep from being covered in the various stages of dust, dirt and the natural crap that floats about while the entire house is under construction and repair.

I have water but no bath....and so I spent the night tossing and turning wanting so much to sleep. I awoke at 4am took only half a cup of coffee, thinking I could go back to bed, uh, no!!! So i decided I would up date you...at least I have a toilet, right? and gee it all looks pretty swell...and hopefully when the sink/vanity is hooked up to the water I will be able to not have water issues and brush my teeth in the bathroom....uh, good luck farm fairy....And with that Rocky is awaking the world. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

more

Happy Birthday

to our friend Mr. Bondo!!!!!

At least I have a shower...

Thanks to mom and dad...Dinner too Yellow fin fresh from daddies yearly fishing trip. Tomorrow I will have a toilet, vanity and tub maybe even running water too boot. I just found out I have had no telephone service for over three days , huh no wonder no one was calling back...Never mind that I was miffed as to why no one called. The shocker of the day was when a 20 year electrican informed me that the house could have burned down to the ground...so we ARE having every wire replaced in the entire house.

okay so Daisy is still here as I just could not give up on her...Still waiting for the trainer to call...Cross your fingers we can keep her as long as she does not keep killing.

Anyway I will get photos to you all...

how to getter done faster...

I have come to the conclusion that few things motivate people...One such motivation is waving "bonus" money in ones face. So the worker who has repeatedly showed up well past noon almost without fail was given a little "mojo" I made an offer (unlikely he will be here) that if he showed up by 8 am I would hand him $50.00...Why you ask? well lets put it this way I figure the sooner he is here the sooner I will have power...and lets face it when you show up at 4pm you are not going to put in a full 8...so there it is...It is unlikely that I will be parting with the fifty..but with that said I'd be glad to just to getter done! and whats more I just want to clean the house from the piles of dust that never seem to stop...sheet rock to grout to whatever...It is futile to even think about it.

I have a habit of opening the windows and grabbing the leaf blower...whatever works to remove the dust,huh? Now there is this story about this farm fairy opening all the doors and windows in the old house...i hauled out said leaf blower and went from top floor to bottom...the only problem with this is that when i put the blower to the bottom of the fridge a confetti of dust, dirt and what not floated up the back and over the top of said fridge falling ever so over this farm fairies head.

UPDATE: at 7:54am they showed up...I eat my words and pay the grinning guy!!!but now i will get a full 8 hours out of them!!!! Which is worth a lot right now....tootles.
