My stress level is through the roof. It's so hard waiting for or rather dreading the phone call that mom is gone. Mark smoking doesn't help one little bit either. Too much worry and not enough of putting it all in God's hands. Nothing I can do about any of it anyway. And I don't like not knowing or not being prepared.
There is a Labor Day gathering here in the park, but we aren't going. It's so clicky, just like in high school and we've no time for that. So staying at home and having a t-bone steak smothered in mushrooms sounds much better than burgers and hot dogs. And I can just sit back and watch tv if that is what I want to do. I'm not very good company anyway.
I'd say it's time for fall things to come out of storage. So last night, after a very long nap, I took out some of my fall decorations. It was fun seeing what I still had even though it wasn't much. Sadly most of my favorite decorations went to thrift stores when we headed out in the fifth wheel. Time for new stuff??? hehehe
Fall is my favorite season, even though there really aren't fall colors around here. But the lower temps are so very welcome. With fall comes the season of snowbirds. Not something anyone around here really looks forward to. The extra revenue that they bring is welcome but so many also bring bad superior attitudes. When we traveled down here in the winter we were amazed at how snooty some of them were. Oh there were some really nice ones, but few and far between. See, they are all here to party/vacation and have the money to do as they please. They seem to have the impression that they are owed everything and respect nothing. So sad. Last year was a bad year here in the park. There were some very disrespectful people here. They have since been blackballed and will have a hard time finding any place to stay this winter. Serves them right. 😍
Slowly but surely I'm putting my stamp on our home. The AZ room still need to be more personalized. But not this year yet. As I said before, I'm so sick of brown tan and beige that I'm replacing curtains and adding things with more color. The AZ room is mostly windows and window treatments are costly. I don't have the patience anymore to make such large curtains. Yesterday Mark put up a sunscreen on the north side of the porch. It added some privacy, keeps the sand down. At some time he wants to add a sunscreen on the west. It would be a much smaller sunscreen. The porch really feels like an extra room now too. Come winter it will be used more than it is in the summer. As will our grill. I'm really hungry for something made on the outdoor grill. Quite the opposite of our northern friends and family.
