So let’s see since my last worth-while post I have returned home, received some cash, spent said cash, received notice of intent to vacate from our tenants, had a near nervous breakdown, done the best to find something to distract myself, did the cheapest back-to-school shop ever, and pretty much wore myself right the hell out. So much for all that relaxation on vacation

I realized also that I am kinda a bitch. And not in a good way. Something I will have to work on, I think. The tenants moving has hit us at the worst time ever. And really we wanted it to happen, but didn’t. We got tired of the bitching and late rent payments. But at the same time, at least it was money coming in. So they give us their notice and I am kinda glad and kinda not. I wonder why they are moving, is it for the reasons we want it to be (cuz we out and out refused to give in to some of their ridiculous demands. Or because they are moving on to something better. This is where the bitch in me comes out. I don’t want them to be moving to better. I want them to be moving to worse. Because honestly you don’t get to screw me over for four years and then do better. Then we find out that Mr Tenant has lost his job. Pretty sure this happened after they gave notice, but they may have known it was coming. This could also be a reason for the move. But it is also something we could have worked with them on.

So now we will most likely go a month without rent… at least one probably more. We noticed a lot of for rent signs on the street yesterday. The one across the street has been up since before school got out for the summer. But that could be because they aren’t advertising.. maybe. ugh!

So tomorrow is the first day of school. More reason to freak out. I found out that the school nurse is one of the gossipy women from PTA. Course that doesn’t mean that she is a bad nurse, just hope her socializing doesn’t interfere with doing her job. SILW/MS likes to hang out and chat with her and you know what that is like…

OK enough with all that, before the nervous breakdown descends. Nah not going to happen. I won’t allow myself the satisfaction of a nervous breakdown. I am not nearly that nice to me

Is that a good thing? Been up since early this morning. Couldn’t sleep. So I grabbed the camera and went around snapping here and there.
The sun was just starting to come over the trees and the lake was a still as glass. With a little bit mist rising off of it. (Did I ever mention that I read “The Mist” while up here on vacation when I was younger. Yeah I loved the horror stories while in the middle of the woods… Bwahahahahah! Heh! Yeah I have lost it!)

So yeah I have been here since Saturday morning… somewhere around 8am. I think I have slept twice. Pretty sure that makes it Monday. Must be Monday actually since my brothers have gone home and back to work. The kids have been havin’ lots of fun Papa took The Karate Kid out for a little spin in the boat after the big kids went tubing so I got some time to just float for a bit.. I think it is the first time I got to just swim and not worry in years. Made me a little sad. Cuz that means it has been years since The Mr.and I have been up here for any extended amount of time together. *sigh* We are hoping that next year we will be able to take a week together.

On the agenda today? More of the same swimmin’ sunnin’ and floatin’. Rains are coming again tonight some time…with the thunder-boomers…

Oh the kicker! Kinda funny. When I was a kid without a really decent camera we were here during a full moon. I guess I was about the age where something like that would suddenly be appreciated. Anyway it was amazing when the moon came up with the reflection on the water looking like a golden path up to the heavens or some magically place. So every year I check to see when there will be a full moon and if I will be here during so I can get a better picture. Also a year or so ago my Dad gave me his tripod which has been stored in my truck since. The point of all this drivel? Well we had a full moon this weekend! Yeah! I missed it coming up because I was tending to The Karate Kid… And? well I took the tripod out of my truck when I was packing and decided I wasn’t going to need it. Ah well There will be other years right? And I still have those 110 pictures to look back on.
