Sunday Café – 15/7/2018 – Pet Fire Safety Day

Yes, I have that pet sticker on my door too. And her name, as she does respond to it.

Hi all, Happy Sunday! I have that sticker on my door too. And an emergency pack.
Big storms rolled through the area overnight, and now my sister’s flight back to Wisconsin has been cancelled. Looks like one more day of shenanigans here in Jersey!

Sauna outside here too! All I need is a towel and a bench and Sven the masseur. Some of you must remember him from the Night Shift Café. but being partly nekked outside, hmmm .. although the way some peeps dress … 😉 😆

So 4th day of DIY spin class. Roof repairs in cycle studio scheduled to be complete for next Sun. Hope so! The moved some bikes into an auditorium. But place is used by day camp so just the way early am and nite classes are on. And of course my fave Wed class is not on as place is booked for some event. Today there were classes but not loving the instructor I opted for DIY, where the program/music is mine and I tend to work out even harder. The have some substitute classes, but not for me as I only spin at gym. Other stuff. ie wts, Pilates sit-ups I do at home. Anyway the instructor told me that the venue is not pretty and airless. And this way I go on my own time.

There were 2 guys just loafing on the attack bike that is the cap on my workout. While watching World Cup on all the screens. Fortunately for them one of the guys had gotten up when I was ready to use it. Guess they didn’t get the memo that it’s a gym, not their living room!

Just finished giving street-find wall-mount bthrm cabinet it’s 2nd and final coat of paint. Amazing what it holds and how much neater everything looks. Checked online and these things go for quite a bit of $$$. It wasn’t all that much fun getting the thing on the wall all by myself, def 2 peeps would have been better, but I somehow managed. And had I bought one prob would have had to put it together from scratch. And my level says it’s level! When it’s all dry and nice will post a pic. Back of wall is a mess due to countless install screw-ins, but that will get painted over when I arrange for this big job in a few weeks.

Landlord is giving me grief over getting in plumber to fix scalding shower situation. Grrr. His go-to ‘tude is that if there is nothing wrong I pay plumber, if a fix is req’d he’ll pay. I already conferred w/plumber so there is a prob. Don’t get why he is being such a total jerk. He’s still trying to sell 2 condos on my floor. The guys in the other one moved out. Things work considering, or I am willing to put up with things. But if someone wants to fork out big $$$ well LR window frame needs replacing. I know the secret of how to open it as disclosed by repair guy. But if someone is in buying mode (and wants to become my new landlord LOL) they should bring in an inspector. And landlord by law should disclose issues. Or I could tacitly disclose. He would do well to be nicer to me.

Went to bed way late again last nite, as sun was rising. And beginning of wk busy as in tomorrow have to go somewhere before the gym, then hair trim. And Tues, gym and then the stress-laden appt where ideally things can get sorted out so that I can get decent sleep and guts calmed down, this has been going on since Winter. And later an appt to de-stress from earlier appt. Just need to get through. *She tells herself*

I’m still doing the spin class, but on my own, or rather with the other Fitness Centre denizens. They have the most awesome bike “known as my bike” with no bells and whistles but that’s how I like it. I get to socialize in the locker room and peeps stop by and chat for a moment. But I get wkt done in record time and get to watch others on neat machines. And get to use the attack bike which is another plus. Anyway would this were my biggest prob and it’s just for the week or so.

Well a bit bruised and shoulders ache some, and almost fell off ladder as I forgot I was on the 2nd step, bit scary when stepping down, but installed cabinet relatively unscathed! Though I would not want to do it again as it took too long to get both sides hooked up. Even managed to install those plastic screw holders that N maintains makes things more secure. Another purrson would have been a help. But a grrl’s got to do what a grrl’s got to do! And managed to to get rid of 3 shelves, also street-finds. Amazed at amount of stuff cabinet holds!

And here it is. Continually amazed at what the street provides. Peeps tell me that they have no luck finding things. I find that one has to “not” be looking.
