Hump Day.

I saw a trailer for The House of Gucci movie.  I do not know who the dialogue coach was for this movie but I suspect she was Russian. Gaga sounds Russian to me more than Italian. At least no one in my family sounds like her. It was weird. So weird it fascinated me and I had to watch it a few times. I even sent it to my friend who speaks a bit of Italian and just before lockdown spent time in Italy. She agreed with me. She said she felt she went in and out of an Italian accent and Russian. I had to laugh to know I wasn't the only one. I'm sure it's just us and everyone else will not only love the movie but nominate Lady Gaga again for an award. 

I am having some weird-ass shit happening in this home.  3 times now at around 3am the house shakes like a small earthquake. Like the ones we had in Seattle, 4/5 on the ole quake scale. I brought some ooey gooey butter bars to a neighbor to see if she feels it. I thought if I brought food she would talk. She laughed at me. Rick is always in bed and feels nothing. I am always sitting on the sofa and feel it completely. Okay, I asked 2 neighbors who are the closest to me and they both said nothing shook at their house or ever has.

Things flying off the shelves. My TV is going nuts too. My fire stick will only play in a FF speed no matter what. I have spent more time than I care to tell you on the phone with amazon. The last person this morning said as she has taken over my screen and then she says, 'holy shit this is so weird. ' Supposedly calling me back.

My soundbar is working sporadically. My TV speakers are doing the same.

I fear poltergeists so this morning when I got off the phone with Fire Stick people I looked for my sage to smudge. Fingers crossed this helps. 

I saw Rick put something down on the end table by his ugly chair yesterday afternoon. 1 hr later I went to get it for him when he asked for it and it wasn't there. He laughed and said, "Okay I'll get it"  As if I was handicapped. 

He walked into the house and went there and asked, "What did you do with it?"  Nothing I saw you put it there but it's not there now! Rick looked at me and said, "oh no again"  I knew what he meant. 

We lived in a home that was haunted a long time ago. 

I began to make dinner and he went on building my new pantry. When he came in he walked by his ugly chair and there on the table was his tape measure that he put down. How did it get there or why didn't we see it if it was there. It's huge and red. Can't miss it when nothing else is on the table.

Oh yes, fun things like this. 

I am going to smudge today before I begin to paint my office. 

Here are a few other things happening around this place besides being haunted. 

This is a door in our kitchen to our side porch. We have another door to the back porch and the front door is just a few steps away from the porch again so why the hell do we need 3 doors to this porch? We don't think it's necessary so we are using this space for a pantry and something else which I will show you when it's done rather than explaining now.

When you open this door this is what you'll see  - the side porch and Rick's hiney today. Steps go down to the driveway. 3 ft away are the steps to the back porch. See? Why do we need all those steps to enter this tiny house? 2 entrances are enough for us.

Here is the old guy in a very bad view. Thank God he doesn't read me. :-)

He is going to close this section off and remove these side steps.  

This below is the view of this area and 'the door' from the front porch. 

So the porch will stop where you see the floor going in.

This will become a pantry. Yesterday Rick built the floor and then insulated it. He is framing it in as I type this. That window you see there? That is going away anyway because we are putting shelving in on both sides of the fireplace and this window is in the way. I can't wait for this to be done. I will show you the finished product because if I try to explain all I'm doing with this space it will be confusing I think.

So you'll have to wait for the completion. It won't be quick. Rick takes days off in between. He makes me laugh. But his labor is cheap so I must go along right? 😁

Happy Hump Day!
