ugh. just ugh. i'm so sorry you are STILL dealing with this crap. I'm interested in your cottage project - - that sounds like a boat load of fun! Keeping you and yours in my prayers Gerda ... and shaking my head over the insanity you have to deal with on the regular. xoxoxo
bttrfly, i love it when you peek in on me.
and yes please come on by and check out the cottage project! We can do some drilling and some leveling and some painting and framing and restore our WOMAN POWER confidence! it's quite the ramshackle renovation but soooo fun and if it ever gets done it is going to be the cutest place and for a while at least will be much nicer than my place next door though my spot is much more amazing, set off way off the road and looking at the mountain across the little valley that is my hill.
ideally I should be up here working on it all the time, it's really really hard to find workers so the guy I have is working after his other job and it's sloooooooow going but I LOVE it so much. I can't be up here supervising or doing anything very often but I figure I am setting up the life I want, which is rentals and flipping as my day job, so I have to start somewhere. I did this project with my closest friend as the investor, so in some ways that was easier and in some ways it is more complex, but I am learning a lot.
I've been starting to write down the things I need to do to get stable financially, etc., if I was finally free of the D. I am stretched way too thin but I am so close to being able to tip that scale, I really want to try to set up this life that I want, esp as my kids are growing up fast and soon the nest will be me only....
bttrfly, how are you? Are you finding your core again? your beauty and strength and joy?
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
