A Day in the Life
A very dear friend asked me what a day in my life looked like. While I am proud of my recent ability to live off the smell of an oily rag it is not exactly something to write home about. So I waited till today…when I signed the lot lease and took possession – I am now the proud owner of a mobile home – my first project. Another very kind friend loaned me the money to see if I can flip the mobile and make myself some money. With no car the prospect initially was rather daunting, but I just happened to manage to negotiate a 20 year old Saturn along with this fully furnished mobile, so I am off and running. This is a 1979 double wide and well used with no modernization. The plan is to clean it up, modernize the kitchen and bathrooms with a budget of $2000 and flip it for at least a $6K profit.
Number one I need to find a whole new kitchen – I decided $500 would be how much I could spend on materials. I found 15 new cupboards online for exactly $500 and I will find out if they are what they say they are on friday when I go look at them and hopefully pick them up. Next I needed a countertop and I just happened to be offered one for free from my new neighbor. I found two cartons of laminate that will put in a new floor so now I have to figure out how much of the work I can do and how to get the work I can’t do done for another $500. There are a couple of ceiling issues to deal with and a couple of walls to come out, its going to get interesting. I will show photos once I have before and after photos.
I have also put my website up and I am doing my EFT/energy healing again, I have participated in an alternative healing Fair and will do so again next month. So far I have made some good contacts but no paid work. I expect that will come as I meet more people and get the word out about what I am doing. I am doing lots of study and incorporating new techniques and technologies into my work – most recently epigenetics from Bruce Lipton. I love doing this work and can see myself doing it for free when I am able to.
Cooking for my friends gives me my creative outlet and they are never sure what I will come up with next. My brother sent me some beetroot relish and last nights creation was a burger with brie and relish on toasted sourdough – maybe doesn’t sound as good as it tasted but my review nominated it best burger ever – I think it was the secret seasoning in the patty or just that I cook with love – you can’t beat it, makes everything taste better.
My days are never the same, I just know that every day is a new adventure and that everything always works out in the end… if it hasn’t worked out yet… it is not the end.
