DollyDagger's Journal

Busy day today just getting things ready for Chili Cookoff.  It's amazing how much crap we all take with us.  I'm the typical over-packer and end up not using half of the stuff that I bring.  But I have to be prepared....me and the boy scounts! 

Once this little shindig is over, i'm going to focus on getting Jim's house ready to be rented again. I wonder if i'll ever be able to stop referring to it as Jim's house.  There is a lot to do.  He lived there for a long time and the place really needs some good scrubbing as well as some upgrades, fresh paint and new flooring.  I'm not really in a hurry to rent it, so i'm going to take my time and do what I can myself (fibro willing).  My Brother in law has offered to help and i'll definitely take him up on that offer.  He has done some amazing things to their house.  Too bad he isn't living there. 

I'm going to upgrade the kitchen and bathroom, replace lighting fixtures throughout and put in new floors.  The carpet is horrendous and since I'm an anti-carpet person, I think i'll put some pergo or something down instead.  I'd love to put wood floors in but I can't be confident that a renter will take proper care of it, so instead i'll try a laminate.  Still has the wood look, but easier to care for.  I put it in my house and I love it.  When I clean the floor, I know it's clean, and I like that.  I'm getting tired just thinking about it!

I haven't spoken to Adam in a few days and even though I left a message for him yesterday, he didn't call me back.  I didn't ask him to call me back, but he normally does, so i'm a bit surprised. 

It's bed time so I think i'll sign off. 

If anyone out there is reading this, sweet dreams.
