I have always heard that trouble comes in three’s;
well, I got my third trouble this morning and I am hoping now that things will
start to settle down on the home front.
Since I came home, to live alone, December 14th,
2018, there has constantly been something happening with the house! First there
was the shower door misalignment (http://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2018/12/peace-like-river.html);
ceiling cracks (http://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2019/01/when-it-rains-here-it-pours.html & http://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2019/01/jehovah-jira-my-provider.html),
and this morning … a toilet malfunction in the master bathroom (!) which BIL
Kerry came and fixed this afternoon:
Apparently the slo-flow tank feature is worn and started to stick, not allowing the tank water to automatically refill significantly enough for a proper flush; hopefully that has now been rectified and the issue resolved. PLEASE GOD! I need a break.
These are “the three”, so I am hoping that Lucifer
will beat feet and leave me be now >:-P
These kinds of ‘man-things’ is why some women
rush into a second marriage after their spouse dies. I refuse to jump.
And I sincerely hope that the S.O.S. calls to
family, and family friends, fizzles from once a week to once every couple of
months over the coming months. I am a quick study and really do know how to
take care of myself – but these type of ‘man-things’ were undertaken by MY man until the stupid and unnecessary August
fiasco that ended with his death last month. My husband spoiled me and did all
the ‘man-things’ when necessary; and I generally stayed out of his way unless
required to hand him a wrench or a screwdriver. I wish now that I would have
been more observant and a little more hands-on at those times. For times like
those mentioned above.
Learning to fly solo will take time … and I have
a lot to learn. But, if other women can do it; I CAN TOO. And I will. With time;
and a lot of patience on my teaching helpers’ ends ;-)
Help me Yeshua.
Help my teaching helpers.
Onto another topic – or 2 ;-) I did squeeze the
last of the Clementine tangerines I bought at Christmas time, and froze the
pulpy juice for future meals that call for orange juice as an ingredient:
And I need to get the Angel Wing Begonia
clippings potted soon – they have a pretty good root system going on and need
to be potted. I will sell these later on, after they bush out a bit …

My Angel Wing Begonia growing and thriving – it should put out flowers this year :-D
It is c.o.l.d. and gray skied here today:
And the chilling rain has begun; so I bumped the heat up to 74-degrees. It is the
first time I have had to raise the heat above 70-degrees.
