It's just so much to deal with. I have been cleaning somewhat today and will again tomorrow after church. We'll be moving in the end of the week. I am planning on the first night in the house being Friday. I need to call and get the telephone on and also internet and electricity in to my name. Thehhouse is a mess. More so than I thought at first, but at least it's sound and the roof doesn't leak. Donald had a hard time today getting the furnace lit. But he did it. It's propane, and for someone from the city who hasn't had anything but electric, it was an experience. I am afraid of it.
It's scary. I keep thinking what if it leaks and explodes?? Can you have a carbon monoxide issue from a propane heater? It's just so strange to me. There are mouse droppings that I cleaned up today. I'll check the same places tomorrow and see if hopefully they aren't back. Hopefully they were old and are gone now. A couple of the windows don't have screens, but there are some in the shed. The CLR I bought to clean up the rust sstains in the sinks and tub are not working on the tub in the kids' room. But, I am going to try Lime Away tomorrow. There are so many things to pack up that are in the house. Things like old church hymnals, old bible study books, and ols books in general. Knick-Knacks on the mantle. And old dishes. I found brand new curtains still in the packages from Walmart. I hung them in one room, but haven't gotten the other room done yet. They look nice. It really lightens the place. I need to choose paint, (maybe next month~when I can open windows and not freeze) and get that done. I need something to brighten the whole place. The insides are so dark. Anyway, I do need some ideas there. Each room that needs painting (living room, dining room and den) is small and has one window each. The other room, the kitchen is bright, but has more windows. It is currently 60's YELLOW. YUK! IDEAS PLEASE!!! I would post pictures, but my sister took my digital camera to KC for the weekend. Grr.
The job is going well. It hurts my back form time to time, but I am still wearing those therma care patches. I wish I had invented them. I'd be rich!! Occasionally I get a dog that just won't cooperate. Like yesterday I had to hold a BIG chocolate lab still so Doc could check her and give her shots. Well, her muzzle is bigger than my hand, so it was hard. But I think I did OK. And I am learning the computer system they use for their patients and billing. I do a lot of after surgery watch. Basically, I get to sit and talk to the animal and pet it until they start to wake up, then we give it pain medicine usually and it falls back asleep. I've learned that beagle pups are the LOUDEST dogs when kenneled and don't know what's going on. I've been watching neuters, but opted out of the spay yet. Maybe later. Watched a dental cleaning. And a front DeClaw. That was ucky. But the poeple are nice and the animals are nice.
Well, I just wanted to let you all know what's going on. A lot of you have asked and so I thought I would let you know. Hugs to all. Please vote for you favorite color to lighten up my new place. Thanks. Michelle in AR
