@zannej if we lived closer, I'd help you clean so you can have some piece. Buy a shed for 2 of you and turn them into individual homes....
... you'd get some peace and quiet.
Also... those are called catalpa trees. They sphinx moth larvae are what you are talking about. My ex husband and I used to drive around a couple of neighborhoods that had them and check the larvae to go fishing with.
My electric bill is on level payments, its between 220 and 250 a month. I keep it 70 to 72 in the summer and 66 to 68 in the winter. I also let it get colder at night in the winter and set it to start warming up about an hour before I think I will get up.
I am going to attempt to do the courthouse stuff tomorrow. Hopeful that I have figured out all the right forms.
Its funny. I am first generation college graduate (not counting my other half of DNA because I have never met him and don't know if he finished or not). I do not know one person who has had a parent pass and own nothing, that can help me figure out how to file the Summary for release from administration. I find it difficult to believe that noone I know, knows how to do that, or has gone through it..... yet here I am.
I went to my massage therapist today, it was a great massage. I'm hopeful to not be super stiff and sore tomorrow. She found super tight knots in my hips and worked them out.... ended up "adjusting" my back trying to loosen up the muscles. She tells me she doesn't see how I get out of bed some morning with how tight my muscle/ligaments/fascia are..... I told her I didn't realize I had a choice lol. I just do what I do when I can do. When I can't.... I complain about it till I do it anyway. I didn't get to cut grass today it rained. I haven't looked at forecast for tomorrow since I have things I have to do.... but maybe I will get lucky and be able to later in the day.... or at least maybe wewdeat..... although if I weedeat aRound the perimeter of the back yard, I will definitely get poison oak/ivy/sumac.
I will try to remember to take pics in the morning because I forgot to today.
Hope ya'll have a blessed night's sleep.
