Sounds kind of dramatic I know but it is a pretty dramatic moment...I am going to risk jinxing myself and say...I have finished THE DAMNED genealogy project for Roberts cousin. It's boxed up and ready to go to the copy house...then I just have to put it all into binders and arrange delivery...if they ask me if they can pay me for my trouble this time...I am not going to turn them down...but they may be aghast at how much they would actually owe me if they were paying by the hour...but a few hundred bucks will cover my costs...paper, binder, computer ink....that won't even include the hours I spent researching and printing things off and sourcing maps and census records and hand writing records that nearly illegible...I zoom them up big on the computer and then transcribe them onto blank forms. It takes hours...but without the information on those hard to read documents I would not get nearly as far in my researching. So it is nearly the end...and I am sooooooo glad...
This fall, I am going bite the bullet and tackle the CONKLIN book...I have procrastinated long enough and done every other family tree into a book but this mother sized one...there is binders full of info and I will have to weed it down to the most interesting and print that off.
The anti-inflammatory meds made me so sick to my stomach that I decided the pain in my ankle was easier to live with than constant nausea and diarrhea...I already have a mild case of that all week from the osteoporosis drug they make me take once a week to build my bones...it just starts to wear off by Friday night and then I take it again on Sunday...so not much of a reprieve...but along with the anti-inflam....it was hell...Robert made me stop taking them, but I still ice my ankle...but did not stop the treadmill...I was just too worried about losing my momentum... I am still waiting for the appointment to be made with an orthopedic doctor...
The missing kitten is back...and I am wondering why I missed him...the little fucker has found some cocky attitude while he was away and now...flaunts his badness in my face...like taking the bird nest out of the tree on the deck and then jumping up onto the windowsill to make sure I see him in the act...today I opened the greenhouse to let some of the hot air escape and when I went just now to close it up...all the little baby lettuce plants that were growing in container have been eaten off and the reason I can't blame it on mice...is the that there is gray cat hair and foot prints in the soil....he was sitting on top of the fence just outside the green house catching the last few rays of sunshine before dusk fell... %#^%(&^(*U that's me pulling my hair out....now I will have to spend time putting wire over the window vents and find someway to block the door...what a little dick...
Heading to the city tomorrow maybe catch a movie...great I get Robert to leave home and there is no good movies to see right now...
Well I worked feverishly all day to finish that genie stuff and haven't had supper yet...and it's after 9 pm... not good for the blood sugar...so off I go to have food.
whoooo hoooo new painting here I come...freed up some time now boy O boy....
