More House Work

I'm behind in posting also. But I just didn't have that much to say. When Karen and Jack were here in February Jack did some things around the house for me. My dishwasher is now hooked up and it really works to. I don't use it much but it sure is nice when I just don't feel like doing anything. He also put a new switch in the lamp in the livingroom. I hardly ever used the lamp so it didn't bother me. But they would stay up at night and read and when it wouldn't stay on he figured he could fix it.

Here are couple of pictures of the windows. We had the old crank out windows, not very energy efficient.

Before

After a few thousands of dollars we have 8 new windows.

All of the windows in the house now are double hung, tilt out for easy cleaning, and energy efficient. The only bad thing is that we had to put up the ugly shutters back up. When I decide how I want to decorate the room I will figure out what I will do with the windows. Right now I think I will go with the same type of blinds that I bought for the livingroom.

My job is going ok. It's a lot more than what I did at LCC. I get to decide if the student gets to go to the university or not. Thank goodness I have good guide lines to follow. I enjoy the work and I like it that it so close to home.

I have been asked to go out to Colorado again. The Lindseys have another daughter getting married in late July. I haven't talked it over with dad yet, but I do know by July I will be working part time so I think that I can work it out there. They have never had a part time processor (that's what they call my job) so they are not sure how they will work me. I will at least get 40 hours a month in. During their busy times I will be working full time, which are the first couple of weeks in January, May, and August. I'm not sure about the other months. All that I'm sure about is that I can only work 1000 hours for July 1st to June 30th. So that averages works out to about 20 hours a week. I just hope that when I'm working part time I don't have to work just 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I would like to have a steady day off so I can work at my other part time job at the Sew Chic (teaching sewing). This is just rattling on so I will end now.

By the way I'm down 28 pounds but I had a little icecream tonigh and it will all go right back on.
