Saturday

The computer has been moved.  Chuck installed a new phone line, the old one was in place but did not work.  Now, I am surrounded by cats.  Starting to move Es stuff out of the garage and I think that most of it will g into storage.   I know she will move out at some point and then all her things will be together. 

She got her component system together.  The dvd that was hers will go into the bedroom temporarily,  the dvd recorded ws connected in her room in December.  When she leaves we will get it all sorted.

Going to 2327 tomorrow and see what will be done. 

Saturday

It has been almost a week since the last entry.  The only downside of an online journal is that your descendants will never find it it your attic and have a window in time what a persons life was.

Emily has had another interview.  This one is for an asst, manager of a St Vincent DePaul store.  They called her to set it up.   The  woman said if she didnt get it there were positions in the retail store that she needed too.  The pt would been good since she needs to get 6 more credits and then she wants to think about grad school.  Law or Library is in the running.

I wish I had a place to put this computer, since E came home I need to move this and set it up somewhere permanent.  I have to unplug the phone and put the computer in that outlet and have no place for the printer.  I have another desk but that phone outlet is dead.  I know Chuck had it wired put it is not working.

Going to put out more applications today and start going thru boxes and getting them out of the garage.   I want to consolidate them and get them organized.

Sunday

So far things are going OK.  We discussed posibilities for employment.  E put in an application at the St Vincent De Paul thrift store.   The woman there gave her an interview on the spot.  She has to go to the PHS and have her transcript and Sats sent to the local CCAC.   She signed up for a History class, History and American Government. This might be useful is she goes to Law School.   I made a list of possible employment ideas.  It is my  ideaa that you take the first job you can to give ou money and then you can leisurely look for something more to your liking.  

We have to do some furniture rearanging and upacking.  I want her to go thru her stuff (clothes, books, CDs and VHS)  We can take some of that stuff to half price books and get some money.  What is not bought we can give to the thrift store or library for a donation.    I also wan to go thru my stuff and items fromm 2327 to donate too.

Respironics (medical manuf) has an ad in the Pennysaver.  I have to ask Marie what the starting salary was.  They have 2 shifts and that would give her time to finish the last 6 credits this summer.   Plus she likes to sleep in and stay up late.  

E has been searching the DSL and is willing to pay for it.  Wonder if AOL has the DSL.  Guess I will have to look for it. on the site.

Friday

It is way too early for anyone to be up but I am.   I am in the hotel room for the last night and the yahoos in the next room strolled inat 3:15, made a lot of noise and then left a half hour later.   I don't sleep well and now I am wide awake.  I got 5 hours sleep so I guess that will have to do.

I have been pondering about where to put my daughters stuff.  I think we need to buy a bigger house.  The three of us save things that should have been gotten rid of a long ago  I guess we save because we are convinced that we will need it at some point in time.

Right now my question is where to put my computer.   I had it set up in Emilys room and now she will occupy it.  I need a fourth bedroom.  I would like to have a guestroom  that  would double as a place  with a desk to set up my computer stuff.   I signed up for the digital photo class, and I plan to learn how to make cd and scan things.   Mostly the pictures from my childhood and the pictures of the Wild West Trip.   The class starts in February  I have to drive to ccac north.  But, it is on a Friday night so I dont have to worry about what time I  will get up the next day.

(The jerks in the next room have returned.  I think they are drunk.   Maybe I will make a lot of noise when I leave)

My family goal, I just have to convince the others. it to improve everyones health.   For Chuck it is to quit smoking (it was his idea)  and Emily and I to get some exercise and lose weight.  I think of it as a self improvement plan.  Chuck should get some exercise too to improve his cv status.  Exercise decreases the ldl and that would be good for him too

Thursday

Today we had a nice breakfast and then on to get this rounded up.   Spent some time cleaning out useless stuff and packing other things in boxes and bags.    I have been putting things that ae packed out in the dining room.

The thing that is left is the closet.  I have a suspicion that there are monsters in there.   I want to have everything packed up and all that we have to do is load up the truck.  I have yet to figure out what to do with the component system.   Maybe I can get the little components into one or two of the boxs.  The clothes can go into bags.

I had an idea that maybe Chuck can loft the bed and put things under it.  Maybe like the desk or some of her plastic units or book shelves. 

He is sick and it wasnt the time to discuss the logistics of lofting.  Going back at 4 for round two.   I would like to go to the Middle Eastern restaurant for dinner.

 

Thursday

It has been a long week in the neve ending story.  Emily is coming home.  She made that decision early Tuesday morning.  She is stressed due to her being unable to find a job and out of money.

We will all have to work at making the transition.  I know we will get on each others nerves.   But, it can work.  First she will need to find a job and not leave dishes and food stuffs in her room.   The whole family needs to get some exercise, so hopefully we can get in a routine for that.   She also doesnt eat meat and she will have to plan her menus, and I can get the food and maybe we can prepare it together.   A lot of things we can use a side dish which can be her main meal.

That is about it.  I am in OH and this laptop is the best thing ever.  And aol, all you have to do is find a local number and dial AOL up. 

The weather here is awful.  I hope we can get out on time tomorrow.  Called Chuck and he is sick, one of his uri's.   Sounds awful on he phone.

Got the Christmas tree down and the decorations boxed.   That is a waste of energy.  I have lost my zest for Christmas decorating.   I did buy some boxes of red and green to put the stuff in.  So, now, it should be easy to spot in the attic.   That attic is so full of junk.  If I havnt needed it in the past year I will never use it.    I thought about going thru it, but decided to leave that for Emily to do when I die.   It will be payback for a the junk I had to cleanup of hers.   LOL LOL LOL

Tomorrow I am going to 2327 and see what needs to be done cosmetically to get the house ready for sale.   I also have a truck to sell, and none of the siblings want to buy it.   I would go fast if it were  a 4x4, but it doesnt go worth 2 cents in the snow.  Why he bought that I will never know.   He had a 4x4 before.  I guess he didnt want to spend the money.  Like he could take it with him.

That house hasn't been cleaned or the walls paineted since before I was married and that was 32 years ago.  It needsa lot of cleaning.  My nephew, Ricky said he would take some of the furnture when he gets his apartment in the fall.  He is in education and so far has failed his Praxis test.  I hope he passes the next time.  He has a lot of time and money invested in the last 4 years.
