We have rain!



Brains are like rains… go with me here… sometimes they run dry, but than they trickle with ideas and sometimes they gush and won’t shut off!
Get it?
Now I do too.
We have been having the on again off again flushing of the impurities out of the air from our rain, which here in Florida, is not an issue, dirty smutch, not here at all, since our air is considered quite clear and clean all year long!
Actually, some of the cleanest and clearest in the whole country; I am proud to say!

Last night we had an incident, a flood in our laundry room, due to the hose from our washer bursting! Fortunately, that room butts up to the garage and the floor is slightly slanted downward towards the garage, but the door is very tight there and so until Hubby shut the main off and opened the door it did not flow down onto the garage floor instead of the foyer or living room, two of the rooms that surround it.

You see, that was originally an outside entry laundry from what was once our carport now our garage, for nearly fourteen years. In a way the fact that I asked Hubby to check the wall to verify it was not a load bearing one before he cut through it way back then.
He did make a lovely door directly across from our entrance adjacent to our foyer, at that time it was a wooden louver that would stay ajar for our cats Mandy and Casey get to their litter box that was in there. As long as we had cats we had litter boxes tucked away in our laundry rooms…Today, it has a lovely raised panel six light door with a brass handle that is closed all of the time since our last cat passed away sadly, in 2010.

Any-who, Hubby thankfully repaired the hose with another he just happened to have a spare, my darling pack-rat!
He used the wet dry vac to dry things up and bleach after to prevent mold and all is well once again, hooray!

I asked if this could have been a slow leak that we didn’t notice for that extra water use and he assured me no since we would have noticed it, the room is small with a stackable washer/dryer set and all the cabinets are set tightly around the whole shebang. When we had our loving four-footed fury felines we had a door that was circular built into the cabinet for the cats to enter their litter for odor control and privacy, ha! (That door too was replaced with a solid one after the kitties were all gone…)
Thankfully all floors are ceramic tile and so all that water did was make it nicely clean.


Moving on…
Today was gym/rehab day and yes the process has continued with my additional days, not additional reps yet.
I do believe that will eventually come to pass in the future.

Amazingly, I was able to go today, my back and hips and legs have been giving out on me all day long… in fact a few times I tried to get up to use my walker to move from here to there as I do at home…and I could not… but this was even before I left, but my determination caused me to go even so.
I tell you, when I set my mind to do something, as long as nothing gets in my way, I get it all done!
My two new blouses that I showed the other day were looking very large in that picture, but for me they were actually a size smaller than what I have been wearing and the heron one I wore today with my Kaki slacks and I felt oh so cute!
Who knows if I looked that way to others, but how you feel, exudes how you look to others I do believe, a matter of confidence, I think.
And it did prove to have people speak with us and we all seemed to be there for the good and one woman even said that “you are doing good”, to me and I said back to her, that we all are, since we are all here! With a great big smile! Why not they are usually contagious and that is the one thing we should all spread our happy faces!

On that note of some notation, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
