~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

[Ginger999]

Morning all, so grateful for all of you! I'll take another day of freedom!

The new condo wouldn’t have had problems and repairs because it was only five years old and barely used; only one responsible person lived there by herself, she didn’t have guests staying over hardly at all, and she only lived there half the year!
But Dill is right: I would’ve had have been in a nerve-wracking situation trying to sell this one. And I’m quite sick & depleted & weak in the first year of vitamin B6 withdrawal, and with a foot that isn’t functioning right, so, not in good shape to be moving. I don’t really have the energy for it.
I also would have lost a lot of money buying & selling & moving…however, I’m also going to lose a lot fixing up this money pit. They talked me into a new furnace as well as a new A/C, with price breaks. Ugh.
I must move on from this now. As a friend tells me, I’m chasing happiness through real estate; and a shiny new home isn’t necessarily going to make me happy.
Thanks for your perspectives, all.

Thanks for checking in, Ginger!
I’m not doing anything today either, Dill.
Glad you can finally get out to Adam’s place, Cowboy. I am proud of my son-in-law for getting that sauna put together by himself. I should tell him that!

It was quite a project, but we got it done!

Thanks for the tip on the dot painting Rava, that's something that I didn't know. I've been looking at so many kits on Amazon but I can't seem to pick just one so maybe I'll have to get several.

Wow, great job on the sauna cowboy! Like yourself, sitting in a steamy enclosed space isn't really my thing, but to each his own.

Slo, I think that your friend is right about trying to find happiness by moving to a new condo. Those sad feelings will move in with you along with the furniture. Not to be nosy or unkind, but are you seeing a therapist? I am currently looking for some therapy as my head isn't in a great place right now, but I will not drink!

I'm in for another twenty four hours of serenity...

Good morning Cafe. Happy to wake up early and sober! Lots of boozy stories I am seeing on my local feed from those drinking and partying. Our local firework display (Which I never attend) got out of hand when some stupid teen shot fireworks into the crowd starting a stampede. People can ruin anything….. Today we are having a neighborhood golf cart parade so we are getting ready to ride around the hood. Hope everyone has a great Saturday. 24 more please and thank you.

Thanks for the picture of the sauna, Cowboy. That is quite a project indeed! Well done to you and Corey! Sauna is not my thing either, but to each their own!

Jude, I didn't know where to start with the dot painting either as there are so many kits available. That's why I was happy to get something small and limited like the one Ginger pointed me to because I wanted to be able to have a completed project and understand the basics. That kit I did was exactly what I needed. My granddaughter loved it and it is now hanging in her room. I have a butterfly from the same artist waiting in the wings, so to speak.

Slo, that friend that suggested you are "chasing happiness through real estate" sounds very wise. He or she is a keeper, for sure!

Nice quiet day for us yesterday except for a brief run in out in the woods with a mama coyote that got a little scary. We had our dog with us off leash of course and she was determined to run that mama away from us. She thinks it's her duty to protect us. Well, that mama wasn't going anywhere, I can tell you! She made some really, really threatening sounds the like of which I've never heard before up close. We took her warning and got away as fast as we could, which was pretty fast because we were in the Ranger. I was really scared for Lily. It could've turned very ugly for her.

Waves to Rava, Mul and Techie.

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Cross post, Rava. OMG, that fireworks event sounds like a mess! I'm glad you weren't there. I stayed home and listened to the fireworks event while I watched a mystery on TV. Mr. D was feeling under the weather, so he was in bed, poor thing. Have fun today at the golf cart parade!!

[Ginger999]

ABC, that's the same sauna my son got. They love their's! I'm not a fan personally of how it makes my lungs feel but they find it relaxing after long work days.

Waves all! I'll take another day
