Sunday

Diane is loving her retirement and wrote and funny that Kat and Diane both asked how much medicine I was talking.. LOL  Good thing I am not sensitive about it. 

I am still waiting on a picture of Angie while she is expecting.  Today we are moving some furniture around the house and I am feeling confident this will make the Living room feel larger.  

Actually found a solar skylight (DIY kit) for $169.00 instead of the $300.00 they said on Television. It is amazing that an 8 or 12 inch tube would let in such light. I will take a picture of my living room before I install it and after so I have it documented.  I am still very excited about the prospect.  

After watching the Wind Turbine DIY video and reading the instructions, Elllis thinks he will be able to help me with the wiring so that we can at least run the laptop while outside. Also run the pond pump.  The pond will be different from the 6x14x10 pond I dug in 1996. This pond will be totally above ground with rock surrounding. One step at a time.  

Solar tube 1st. 

Well back to the back yard to  help Casey. She has been working back there so hard and it is really satrting to take form.  We will be planting salad greens so that we can garnish our salads with them. Casey makes one mean chef salad.  They are simply  yummy :) 

Solar Attic fan

I found a solar attic vent and a fan on eBay. I am not going to jump in and grab it just yet. I am doing some research so that I know what I am doing.




Well the blues hit and I never made it to Ellis' house. I think part of my problem is an aversion to leaving the house. The nightmares continue and it makes it hard for me to relax when I am running for my life all night.



This is probably the most problems I have ever had about sleeping. I have an awesome doctor that is helping me address the sleep and the nightmares. But no matter how much medicine I take I can not sleep more than a few hours. I am not napping in the day I am simply struggling all night. It is 1 am now and I cringe at the thoughts of closing my eyes and sleeping as William said perchance to dream.. but I think his was a positive perchance. Mine is a negative. LOL
So here I sit all sleeping pilled up and unable to close my eyes for any length of time.

'So Gerry frets that I might be out of work again tomorrow. I know it is hard to understand but I do not think he would be calm if he was in danger all night every night and unable to forget any detail all day long. It is not a fun place at all.
But I want to think about my skylight and my solar plans. I want to make my home more green and more environmentally friendly.
So Ellis forgive me for not coming by. I promise Iwill work on leaving the house and coming to see what you have done. I am so proud of you and I hope you never doubt this.
Fears are rediculous. I have to get past them.
Ellis would be able to help me with this solar adventure.  He is amazing at electronics and wiring and such.  Heck he has a crate of wire he carrys to every house he lives in. 
While I am on the wish list. I want to finish my back yard complete with outdoor fireplace so I can enjoy the desert Winter. I mean it is what keeps me here.

Visit Mahalo if you have time. I love to see hits on my pages,   and let me know if you like any of the work I am doing. I would love to hear.

Sunday a day of Rest

Sunday is awesome. Woke up to have a wonderful Fruit plate for breakfast. A beautiful plate of Cantaloupe, Watermelon and Pineapple, no better way to start a day.

Going over to Mahalo to find I have 24 pages now and am up to $100.00 for something I love to do. Can it get better than that? Raevyndaun is in an excellent mood and I am in control of the remote.

So I am watching about the Dust bowl and to find out that the plains of the Midwest were green and lush when all I had ever seen before was the barren dusty plains.
Seems by 1918 the grasslands were replaced with Wheat crops.

The rest of the day will be spent at Ellis' house seeing how they have improved the house they are renting. Ellis is excited and I know they have painted at least 3 rooms now.
Last night I was researching Solar options for my house. I think I will purchase a solar attic fan and see if pulling out the hot air of the attic will all me to run the Central Air a little less. Since our Power bill is over $600.00 I really need to do something.
Kenn has offered to help me and Ellis said he will help me as well to make any changes I want on my house. I really want a Wind Turret as we have good winds here(although it is a hot wind) so we would be able to power ourselves. Another project I am looking at is a Skylight into my living room and one in the Den. Then I could put darker curtains on the West facing wall which would cool down the Den.

I am on my fresh food fresh veggie and fresh fruit diet and I am down 5 pounds. I am proud of the weight loss of course but I am more excited about how well I feel with less carbs to make me sleepy. By the time I am over all this internal Drama I may come out a better person.
