The whole patio floor is tiled! It's really wonderful; and they put large drain holes on the sides that drain into the flower beds at the street level, so I can dump buckets of water to rinse it all off to clean it too.
Glad you liked the memes and funny enough, sometimes I do feel like my "old" self ... especially in the morning. My father always says in the mornings, he walks be a mirror, and thinks, lookit that poor SOB; wonder what happened to him last night LOL
oh wow, don't be sayin that stuff about you though, it IS funny hearing it about him! So how you doin? I haven't seen you for days!
I'd say I'm back to normal now! Had a few rough days (weeks?), just bad news after bad news, but I've got it all in perspective again now. Glad to be back here too :)
How about you? How's things?
I'm doin great, Mrs. J is doing great and just started a new job Monday which makes me take more time off to do things around the house like fix food and take Jack out to play and clean, stuff like that but it's all good.
I took myself out of the League competition and don't know when I'll be back.
Oh good for Mrs. J. Was she working before? You're retired I take it? It's good for you to get off that chair a bit and do some other stuff! Me too. Not sure if I told you, but there's two dogs here (our landlords) so I can walk them anytime I want, and of course play with them. It's awesome, all the fun of owning a dog, and none of the work :)
I saw you removed yourself from prizes in the League; mighty gentlemanly of you after winning all these weeks! It's kind of a nice break I would assume?
wow ..hey I'm supposed to be asking the questions here! I'm not used to being asked questions about me but yeah it's been nice to step away and not think about trying to contact new people every week and all that so I've just been playing around and with Mrs. J starting her job I have alot more to do around here that she was doing like fixing meals, taking care of Jack, taking him out to play, cleaning, etc, etc, plus I have repair projects around the property that I'm working on also.
I was forced out of retirement by moving down here, we had our real estate business that we had started from scratch and built it up to a great company and it was my dream job and I didn't want to quit.
But because of the tremendous stress she said she had to give it up so we moved down here and have been looking for work ever since we got here and have tried many things, none which have worked out until she got hired.
When she gets a set schedule I may have to get a job myself, yuck! So no I'm not retired, still looking for something. semi-retired but not by choice.
I didn't know about those dogs, how fun! That's super cool and a great way to get out and walk around the neighborhood every day. Do you have to clean up after them?
Easy question first: There's an empty lot beside us that the landlord also owns, so the dogs just go over there:) THey're both really cute dogs but lookin' a little down in the mouth because they got into some black paint and were in big trouble. Anything white on either of them is looking a little grey because of it haha
So with your wife gone to work, you're going to have to cut down your time here for sure, right?!
Yuck, back to work is right!! Once you get a taste of retirement, it's a tough pill to swallow to have to set the alarm again! Good luck to you with that one, seriously, no kidding here; I feel for you. Hope Mrs.J's new job goes well!
I'm so glad that she's enjoying her new job. And yes I do believe I will stay retired I'm enjoying it way too much😊 I may do a little tutoring here and there but that's about it.
Welcome to the life of a woman buddy!. Now you just have to go back to work AND do everything you're doing and then you can have something to complain about haha
