Random Thoughts 10/5/13

I am tired of writing about the universe crap on my head, the other day I actually got one pile of it off my head.

I knew I was in trouble when I picked up my unexpected guest from the airport and she had three suitcases and a carry on. Even I knew that was a bit much for a “short visit” as she called it. We had already discussed her moving in here prior to coming yet her she was bags in hand. Since she was here I decided to give it a try for a while even though I knew it was doomed before it began. This girl makes good money as a graphic arts designer,she is a year younger than my daughter and very attractive. What the heck she see’s in me I will never figure out. Outside of the bedroom we have very little in common other than the fact she is into healthy eating as well.

She was here about 24 hours before she started using the words that send shivers down my spine. We could, we should, we can. It’s that damm we word. She didn’t like my collection of old and wall mart furniture I had or the older apartment I lived in. She had her eye on another complex down the road that goes for about 300 a month more than my rent. It is larger and only about ten years old. She suggested to buy out my lease at a cost of about 1100 dollars, move all of my stuff, minus my furniture, move her nicer solid oak furniture down here from Florida and bring down her BMW. Total cost to me nothing.

The first night here she took me out to eat because that is what she is used to in Her busy life she doesn’t have time to cook. She was dressed in a fancy pants suit, I had on my blue jeans but I did dress up a bit and put on one of my sports shirts. Then came something I knew would come up, these suggestions always start with a honey or dear in front of them. She wanted to take me shopping the next day and buy me some slacks, nicer shirts and even shoes. My reply was are you F ing crazy I don’t wear that kind of stuff I don’t even own a pair of slacks outside of my funeral suit. I could write another five paragraphs on how the visit went but I am getting bored with this post.

In the end after about a week I sent her home. I just couldn’t get her to understand I am set in my ways and to old for any major changes in my lifestyle. I forget to mention even though I knew that I would send her home I asked my Daughter about it and her words were “ run pops its a trap” she knows me way to well.

I have tried out far to many relationships in the last 15 years and all of them end up with one thing in common. Women can’t help themselves, they all want to change or mold a man into what they want. I wont say all women are like that but every one I have come across does. I could have used this women and gotten a lot of nicer things out of it but as much as I hate to admit it even I have a set of morale’s I live by.

One last thing fall has finally arrived here it has been in the upper 80’s all week, unseasonably hot. Last night a cold front came through High today 60 the temp now is 45 and I need to go get my morning cup of cappuccino before I catch up on all of my friends post.

I have my antenna hooked back up and have 9 hours of collage football to watch today live, what a pain no fast forward through half time or commercials 🙂

My Hidden Hideaway in the Country

First I need to apologize because the photograph is crooked. All I can say is my muscle relaxers must have kicked in.
I first started this project while living in a hand me down camper. I had just quit working and was tired of living in the city. It took me about 3 months working full time to get the left side done. I did all the pluming,electrical, and Sheetrock by myself. The only help I need was to holdup the rock on the ceiling while I screwed it in. Way out here in the sticks nobody worries about codes or permits because nobody cares.
I had a living room kitchen on the left side and a bathroom and shower on the right side all built with parts I took from the camper. Fully inclosed and insulated. I even had a wood burning stove on the right side with the air piped into the left side. At the time it was all I needed.
I then moved to Oklahoma to work as a manager in a big truck stop on the interstate. A few months later my sister asked me if my mom could move in there to prepare herself for hospice care. She hired some people to refinish the right side with a better sink and shower and put in the sliding doors and a couple more windows and new carpet.
I had been in Oklahoma for a little less than a year when I got the dreaded phone call that my mother took a bad turn and my help was needed to care for her. I quit my job with no notice and was had moved back to the country within 4 days. That’s where I will end this portion of my house in the country.

I am pretty isolated and well hidden from view.

View from the street. I ordered a garage kit and put it here to further hide from the dirt road I keep call a street. Don’t forget to double click on the photos you can see them much better!!
