I feel like my life has been on hold for many years…living in a house too small to have my family over, dragging clothes to the laundry mat for a few years and living in a house I was ashamed of.  I’d still be there if I kept gambling like I was.  Now I feel like I am actually living.  I love having a home I am proud of and friends and family coming by.  I even had one of my self centered co-workers come over to set up the magic jack.  Of course his main interest is to hunt on our property but I paid him $20 and gave him some trail mix and assured him there is no hunting allowed…I want the wildlife to feel safe here.
It’s been really windy and stormy this weekend but I still managed to get the windows cleaned, a table and chairs almost ready to set up in the house, all the drawers and most of the cabinets lined…even though I can’t seem to cut a straight line.  Anyway, I got a lot done this weekend and still more to do.  It’s rewarding to do the things I should be getting done instead of wasting time and money in a casino.  Life is good.
