I Love New York Travel

I haven’t had much time to devote to leisure, meditation, beauty, or even usual maintenance (like combing my hair!) these days. WOW. I have never been so busy for such a long period of time in my life (or so it seems). The house renovation has swallowed up my life. We are at the brink of saying the bulk of the work is completed, but this week is the final push to get the walls done so we can install cabinets on Sunday. Sunday is my deadline. And it is a fierce master.

My gardens are a disaster. Full of weeds, my flowers neglected.. I peer out my window and see their scrawny necks begging for assistance. I came across this photo of my purple coneflowers from last year. *sigh* This year, they are pale pink because they have been overshadowed by weeds. Next year will be the year to replenish my gardens!!!

Still, I don’t regret this time, not at all. We have wanted to renovate for so, so long. I am SO grateful that the moment has come! Hallelujah! I just cannot WAIT until it’s done!

Doesn’t she look peeved? We call her The Peevish Disputant when she looks like that. She dislikes the flash in her eyeballs. I would, too. :(

All my blogs are suffering terribly right now. I am in the “heat” of things with the kitchen renovation. It’s toward the end, the work is difficult, we are tired, my wallet (not my rfid wallet, but I wish I had one!) is strained… PLEASE let this be done soon. Wow. It’s been quite a summer.

The sun sets sooner now. Signs of fall are very slowly appearing, although it’s still quite hot and humid so you’d never know judging by the day weather. I look forward to fall, even though it means more work for me. I like cooler weather. And it will mean that we are that much closer to finishing our renovation. I need a vacation.

LOL. Livvy always takes the best seats. Typical cat! And what a life! ;)

This is The Hubs desk. I can’t show you mine. It’s a DISASTER. I work from my desk (I’m a blogger and a writer), and a filthy, dirty desk is just a LITTLE demoralizing. LOL. I also have forgotten to pay a few bills, missed out on a few historical re-enactments this summer, and can’t find important things like concert tickets, new credit cards, and my USB drive with photos on it!! Gah!

In case you didn’t know, we’re renovating the house. I’m trying to keep the office closed off, sealed, and as dust-free as possible…. we’ve reached the Sheetrock installation stage, and keeping the dust out is IMPOSSIBLE. Especially when a certain kitty likes to explore and then prance across the desk. LOL

Well, I am definitely looking forward to having my life back (or, at the very least, my desk!). The disorganization is tough on me. Not only do I miss deadlines, appointments, and bill pays, but I miss my concert events and travel attractions, too!

The good side is that I’ve got the entire house wired and plumbed with NEW systems, and I’m finally getting my kitchen remodeled! Praise the Lord!!!! \o/ It will be done in a few weeks, I’m praying!
