Counting Down

Posted in Uncategorized at 7:39 pm by Sponge_Daddy

If everything goes as planned, we will be in our new home in about 11 days.  We are due to go sign the papers this coming Friday.  After that the brand new well for the home will be dug.  Depending on how quick that is done, we should be out of what is left of Bullitt Bowl by the end of May.  That is our goal.

Of course, we have done pretty much all that we can do.  Right now we are at the mercy of the red tape of the department of highways.  They could theoretically keep us here another few weeks if they choose to.  Our home has to pass a state inspection and then have special windows installed to accomodate my bad eyes.  The state will not let us get out of here until all of that is done, so it seems.

Also, this beautiful little cottage has not been lived in for two years.  So not only will there be grass to mow and snakes to shoo off, we have to get a new liquid propane tank delivered.  I am not sure if any of you have LP gas for heat, etc., but getting a new tank set up is really expensive.

Of course, Jamie cannot look for work until we are settled.  All of you that follow us, please cross your fingers that the pencil pushers in Frankfort give this all a push.  In theory, we could be staying the night there as early as next weekend.

Even if we do not have hot water for a short time, I have our grill. I guess we will treat it like a cabin in the woods.

Just so you know we are going to disconnect from the net in the next few days.  We have to subscribe to DSL which may take time for them to run the line way out in our neck of the woods.

I am looking forward to devoting time to the kids, Jamie, my bowling game and especially my writing.  I hope to be published by the end of this year.

Beside my motivational writings there are two short stories that have been in my head for many years.  I think it is time to put them to paper, or rather, into text.

I want to thank ahead of time the following people for all of their help in the upcoming move, and for being good friends to Jamie and I:  Crash Miller, Matt Jackson, Josh “Mr. Foot” Hensley, Mike Rodgers and of course, Amanda G.

I will have our new P.O. box set up in a few weeks and will publish it to the net as soon as I can.  I must insist on a P. O. box as believe it or not there are stalkers of even ”Z-list” celebrities like yours truly.

I have come to value my private time.  Every couple needs time to talk.  Every family needs to share meals together and have family time.  Every human needs time to think.  I have denied myself this for far too long.  My own fault, I overloaded myself with all of the causes I support.  For a while at least, no causes, just Jamie and my babies.  One thing at a time, our lives are getting where we want them to be.  Now if we can just get her disease stable and then get me off of these steroids, well, one always has hope.

I may or may not be on here tomorrow.  It all depends on when we disconnect from the net.  Just know whenever that happens, I will return.  One more blog.

 

Be well,

 Sponge
