 Thank God bad days END , problems get solved , we don't HAVE to go nuts to solve them and things arent  one tenth as hard to do as when we were  a hundred pounds overweight ......

Yesterday ( to add insult to injury , just when i weighed my HEAVIEST in a  long time )  ..i opened up an envelope from the wonderful City of Asbury Park directing me to demolish one of my homes there and take the front porch down on the  second one .... within three days ..... mind U these are homes they're supposed to be fixing with grant money i applied for that theyve held up due to political red tape .   

!!!!!!     

Now ive honestly been trying to complete these projects for a few years .   Frankly the construction just overwhelmed me what with my asthma and  serious health problems .   Usually just going to AP and dealing with City Hall was enough to make me want to RECOVER and HIDE for a few weeks or better yet months ....  well yesterday was DIFFERENT .  

I came back home OK ....even though i d had to wrangle some documents out of city hall , deal with construction officials , deal with my attorney and the City attorney ....  and i REALIZED  that yes .  though it will be hard , completing this project is DOABLE  and that I THINK I CAN FINALLY COMPLETE  IT !!!  YAY !!  

Its definitely  Sh..t  or get off the pot time both for the City and me now   but the GOOD thing is ....the project has a better  manager ....  the new and infinitely better and more efficient ME  ....and honestly Im HAPPY  its going forward , not wishing i could jump into some food or run away ....

Sure hope this keeps up !!   

Thanks for all Ur kind support yesterday ...  I feel so PRIVILEDGED to have such great friends !!

WOW - it sounds like you've got your hands full.  Hopefully they will release some of that grant money.. and you set them straight as to why the project hasn't been completed.

Keep your head up - sounds like you're getting out there and taking charge!  Good for you!
