It has been way to long since my last post.

It has been way to long since my last post. I had a nice long update all ready to post the other day but when I went to post it it was gone. So here I am starting over.

I did successfully made my move and managed to unpack and settle in as much as I can. I still have a lot of things in storage and just way to much stuff in general . Part of the reason is I am working on splitting my household into two households. I am hoping as this happens I will be able to finish my decluttering.
 
Then my librarian fell and broke her foot. Due to her restrictions she toke leave and I filled in for her. For seven weeks I was the librarian. It is funny that I was just about to finish up my fourth year at that school, and before I took over as sub librarian most of the children didn't know my name. They knew that I belonged in the library. They knew that if the librarian was busy that I could help them. There was some autonomy about being the clerk but now that is over. Now I get chased down at the grocery store by children that recognize me. 

Summer came and a spent my time at home. I spent a lot of my time working on improving my half marathon time. I did get to take one small trip. I went and visited an old friend(since we were eight) of mine and his family. This was the first year that I didn't go back to Seattle, in the eight years that I have lived in Texas. I may have to go back over winter break. For I do miss seeing my family and friends. 

School has started again. I spent part of August helping a new librarian try and get settle in, before I left to a different school. A full time library clerk job found me. I say found me because it did. There is no doubt that I am being called to this job. I have so much to tell you on this but it will have to be in my next post.

So there is a very quick update on some things going on. I know I forgot something but my bus ride is almost over so it's time to say goodbye for now. I will work on getting more post up. I know I have said this in the past but with my current commute I have no excuses.

How to irrigate the garden

One of my garden project that I been working on is: How to irrigate the garden. In the Texas summer heat vegetables need lots of water everyday. And I am already under water restrictions. I can only use a sprinkler head or system two days a week. And it also not the most efficient way to water the garden. And I wanted an idea that I could use recycled materials. After some searching on the Internet. I found IcePop-Drip-Irrigation . The short version: A frozen water bottle wrapped with a mylar chip bag. (Because I am anal about what I eat and about recycling. Both water bottles and chip bags are not some thing you find a lot of in my house. But it amazing what you can find at your local construction site.) I did change one thing to suit me and the garden better. I have a lot of more plants to water and it will be and early morning chore. So I drilled holes in the lids. Now I can just set them out in the garden and I don't have to wait for daylight. Hand Update: It is healing an...

One Hand

lavender Being one handed has slowed me down. Like how to write this post without the computer keyboard and I don't own a smartphone. But as you can see I figured out a way. The thing that gets to me the most is that I can't walk pace or jog. The doctor said no and it painful. Thankfully there is still yoga that I can do. I switched to little projects that can be done one handed. And there are plenty of them.  Since I put building the garden on hold. It has gone through a whole redesign. Before I was hoping to have room to grow a few extra plants and now I will have plenty of room. Check out My Garden page to see the redesign and other updates on the garden. The best thing over the weekend was. Having a friend come over to help me out with my housecleaning. She sweep, mopped, emptied the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher, wiped down the counters and sweep the stairs. It was so nice to have them done. They were all things that needed to be done.

No Internet

This is not the post that I was planning on writing but it's the fast way to tell everyone. For now I have no Internet at home. When I moved into my current home there was only one cable provider in the area. The service was never great I have always had problems. So after three years of spotty service and paying too much for it, I was done. Unfortunately there is still only one cable and internet provider in my area. So I am taking a break for now. I have been able to deal with out tv just fine and I am not going to get cable back. I have netflix so I can still watch lots of movies. And when I have internet I can find most of the tv programs that I like online. The lack of Internet is getting to me and I will have to turn it back on but I am not in any hurry. I got an email from them saying I owe them $1559. Now I know that this not true because I had my equipment picked up and he gave me all the paper work and I owe them $59.98. Now I do have my iPad and there is wifi around so ...
