Rumblings

There were soft rumblings of thunder when I woke up and now some gentle rain. Auntie m said Lucas had a small storm about an hour ago but now blue sky.

I can't put down steig larsson's the girl with the dragon tattoo. It's so good.

The squatters in Lucas are moved out as we discovered on Sunday and yesterday I changed locks and brought over cleaning supplies. They left mess in the cabinets and upstairs. There is so much to do. I will have to take before pictures of the horrid paint job. Dad was right when he said it looked like a tavern in the living room dreary muddled green paint applied with a sponging technique down very badly. It made me want a double whiskey and to pour out my woes to the taciturn bartender. The front room was painted a mustard yellow and the bathroom inexplicably is pumpkin thrown about with wild splashes. The cabinetry in the kitchen is a pukey brown with the doors painted white. Appalling!

Lynn's daughter allegedly dying of cancer who was accompanied by the husband abusing her that she wanted to escape from put ceramic floor tiles onto the countertops. Mom & Dad didn't ever have good luck with renting out that house. All left horrible decorating marks behind and didn't pay rent.

It needs a nice exorcism and lots of tlc and good taste. It has potential and a natural charm.

Today I'll make a list of what needs to be moved from Lincoln. And go down to Ellsworth to see dad.

I have my trusty list of dad stuff to attend to. Calls to make.
Sigh. I miss the gym. I must incorporate simple exercises into my day. I am not lost without my favorite classes. Remember that.

I saw dentist dr knapp yesterday. I have an infection and a cavity and possibly that loose crown needs a root canal. The pain isn't as bad today with just a dull ache to remind me that it's still there.
