buy a condo
a place of my own...that won't wear me down 12 months ago

I want to sell my house and buy a condo. For a while I thought about just renting an apartment but I like the freedom to paint the walls or have pets. I can’t keep up with all the demands of a house. It’s been overwhelming at times just trying to keep the leaves out of the gutters in the fall, the lawn mowed in summer or the snow shoveled in winter on top of working full time. And with the inside chores like laundry, cooking, cleaning etc…I just can’t do it all myself. This year alone dealing with a leak in a new roof & in the chimney, termites, moles in the yard and plumbing issues (apparently a pipe has separated). Not to mention the cost of it all or the frustration of dealing with service people who don’t keep appointments.



learn how to play mahjong
It's not a priority... 19 months ago

I don’t think any of my friends are interested in learning with me and I’ve simply lost interest in it myself.

When we visited China Town in New York a few years ago, I searched for a quality set to play with, but could only find a cheap one. I bought it as a souvenir thinking I would upgrade later. Oh well….



List 100 songs and their lyrics that mean something to me (read all 3 entries…)
Storms 23 months ago

Every night that goes between
I feel a little less
As you slowly go away from me
This is only another test

Every night you do not come
Your softness fades away
Did I ever really care that much
Is there anything left to say

Every hour of fear I spend
My body tries to cry
Living through each empty night
A deadly call inside

I haven’t felt this way I feel
Since many a year ago
But in those years and the lifetimes past
I did not deal with the road

And I did not deal with you I know
Tho the love has always been
So I search to find an answer there
So I can truly win

So I try to say
Goodbye my friend
I’d like to leave you with something warm
But never have I been a blue calm sea
I have always been a storm

We were frail
She said
“Everynight he will break your heart”
I should have known from the first
I’d be the broken hearted
But I loved you from the start
Save us. . .
And not all the prayers in the world—
could save us
