When a senior widow starts a new week with Sunday...

 I've read about SEO's and have a vague idea of how that works in getting people to read my blog but, it apparently doesn't work for me...must not fully get it! Anyway, I'm back and writing and it's 9:02 pm August 27th. Went to church this morning. Then treated myself to a pedicure, nearly fell into a glass table because I missed a step getting down from the pedi chair. I didn't hit the floor, just thought I was gonna.  Then stopped at  Market Street and bought a peach cobbler and some vanilla  ice cream. Went to my friend's apt and had lunch and desert and left shortly. Got offended and then spent time in the muligrubs lack of control in life. Well, church was great, lunch was good, desert was exceptional and the pedi was wonderful and my toes are nicely pink. I was pampered.

I've been wanting and needing a pedi for a long time but have just continued giving myself one every month. This was a planned treat. I will go back to that place. The young lady who helped me was very good. I will make an effort to go every month.  And, I will ask for her.

Haven't done much else today. My knee was bothering me yesterday so I decided I should stay off of it. Walked Milo though. Staying off it means no heavy lifting, pushing and carrying. It's just a few short days 'til pay day so I have to bite the bullet until Friday.  I can do that. This week ahead will be about packing the car, pulling out more stuff to sell, regular house chores and tomorrow it will be about going over the budget and tomorrow mailing back the sim card to AT&T. by taking it to the post office.

Then I'll be looking for more to put in the yard sale. Walking by faith has a bunch of elements in it but for right this sec., just pray. I ate all the rest of the chocolate chip cookies. They were good! and now as I look at next week all I can think of is how it's gonna go. But then along comes the truth of it and that's faith and faith is just a knowing. So, I go forward with that thought, knowing He knows! and with that, everything is going to be okay.  For me, most of the time it's un-explainable

I guess it's suppose to be that way so that you aren't gonna start fretting. So, it's the beginning of a new  project of sorts. I started anyway. Really if almost then it's okay to reminisce a while you work. It's time for me to go through the writing and let it go until it's finished.

This post sat in the "draft" situation until this morning when I discovered I hadn't finished it. So, I'm gonna finish it and it's an update also. The yard sale was today and it went well. Rather than having it in my neighbors yard under the shade of a tree I moved it to my daughter's yard across town and boy was that a job.  Got up at 5 this morning because I had to feed Milo and take him outside besides getting myself ready for the big day.

At 6:30 my neighbor showed up with her car lights on and we went caravan style to my daughters house where another friend met us and the set up began at 0 dark 30...meaning it was dark out, very dark. Lots of labor involved. As soon as it was light enough I drove around setting out the yard sale signs of which there were 4. I had put the advertising on FB. 

It was a good turn out and we started closing at noon because of the heat. What was left unsold went back into my little car for the next time. Of which there is no plan yet. Had plenty of help so to say the least, I'm tired and I don't know why I'm still up because it's after 1 am.

My blog is not getting any attention...last one no body read. Guess I better get it figured out and fix the issue what ever it is.

This is Judy in the cottage considering a glass of milk and a cookie.

Honestly Speaking

 Well hello! I have a favor to ask of you. I know, I don't have any leverage over anyone who stops in on my blog so I'm not trying to pull something here.  Really! Look, I don't claim to be old or anything!!! But, I am aware that I'm not up on all the ways and means of blogging. I haven't read up on the whys and wherefores', etiquette or anything. Honestly speaking, I just got on here, opened/signed up for a blog and here I am. I don't know what is customary and another thing, I'm trying to get my post read by more than 7 people. Well, one time it was 9. So here's my request after all that honesty. I'd love to hear from YOU, If you've gotten this far in this writing this time around. Would you please comment? I would like some encouragement in writing here. And... If you are feeling gracious and have the time and inclination leave a comment on how I might draw readers. I know, I know...I've sorta read how to do that but...I don't get

Boxes, boxes boxes-how to survive a forced move!

  That's the way it was just before the movers came in and took all my stuff away to a pod on the apartment complex property. I had packed and packed and packed some more until everything was in a milk box from the local grocery. Next came the hotel that Milo and I stayed in for a few days until the 16th of February. I had planned for a swimming pool and hot tub, even buying bathing suits but, alas it wasn't to be, so Milo and I took walks on the grounds of the hotel and visited the dog park which wasn't too very far away. And Tuesday late afternoon, finally home again with all new cabinetry and flooring and freshly painted walls. Same ole' address but new insides...and now the fun begins. Just a few boxes left to unpack and then it's all about finding/creating a place to put things. The bulk of my belongings is craft supplies and tools. My bedroom is now my craft room. Leaving a small space for the new twin bed, I've managed to create my new craft space. The ch

So She Says!

 She being me, don't ya know! It's late and I should have stopped writing an hour ago but I'm here instead....writing.  The process of writing a book is way more than I thought but, I'm gonna do it anyway. I'm gonna write until I have nothing more to say and because I didn't find out how to do this before I started, I'm kinda moving backwards in the process. I've decided to finish the manuscript first and then go back and get it in order as far as I know how to. And that will be based on the information I've found on the web. Then, I will look for an agent. If I find one who is will to look at what I have, then I'll go from there. I'm guessing I follow his direction in what I need to do to get my stuff ready for an editor to look at. Then after that I don't know. I'm sticking this out because I believe in what I have to say and I think it is timely. But that's just me. Part of me things it won't make the cut, but the optimisti
