HI EVERYONE ~ well, I tried to come in an do a post last night, but my PC kept going off on me. It turned out to be that our power bar had a glitch in it. We started having trouble a few days ago where my PC would just go on and off by itself ... and we thought ... oooweeooo ... spooky ...
Anyways, this AM, we tried a new power bar and so far things seem to be back to normal again.
EDIT TO ADD ~ DH just opened up the power bar and showed me that the bar was shorting out; I could smell the burnt wire as soon as he opened it. Boy, we are sure blessed that we noticed that becuz if that happened at night, it could have caused a fire. PTL and thank you GOD for protecting us from harm ... DH says that the power bar should have kicked off permanently as it is supposed to do that ... eeks!
OUR DILAMMA (jk) ~ We had some stuff put away in storage, but had to move it quickly as the owner sold the place, and turned the keys over to the buyer on Tuesday, but didn't tell us until late Tuesday afternoon. Usually one has 30 days to remove your stuff, but the new owners wanted the space right away. So we went out Tuesday night, and someone came by and helped us. Then we went back Wednesday AM, and got the rest of our stuff
(it all took us only 2-3 hours in total).
The new owners came by and told us that anything that we didn't want, to just leave it there and they would haul it away themselves becuz they had lots of other stuff to take away, which was very kind of them also ...
So GOD answered our prayers for that -- we asked Him for help becuz we didn't know how we could move everything out of there with such a short notice, and all by ourselves. Once again, GOD sent us help, and a whole lot of peace of mind to go along with that too.
DH is building NIKO a dog house with a friendz who likes to do things like this to keep busy. UP until now, he had what is called a lean-to shelter, but a nice dog house is much, much better. DH had to go get some screws for the tin roof, which will last a longer time. His friend is very generous; and is giving him the metal for the roof ... may GOD bless him for his generosity.. We just had to supply the plywood and 2" x 4" wood which thankfully, we already had.
So GOD has been answering our prayers about finding us some really good friends here close to home; plus we are blessed to have such a great group of friends here at 3FC's too ...
The hydro folks came by and put in our new 'SMART METERS' which should help us all to save even more $$$ on our electricity bills, if we use stuff in off-peak times of the day (ie 10 pm to 7 am). We unplug all of our small appliances when they are not in use: like the TV, video & dvd machines, fans, air conditioner, coffee maker, etc. I also unplugged some unnecessary cords and plugs today, as they all draw energy even when you are not using them; and a lot of people don't know that ...
My eating has been very good (credit moi); and I have been doing my daily routine as per usual ... kudos 2 me! The water pills that the doctor has me on is helping to keep the water down in my legs much better; hopefully that will help them heal as well.
Thanks for all your prayers; they sure have been answered very quickly. Hope you all have a wonderful evening ...
ROSEBUD ^PRAYERS^ continuing for you and yours ...
