Happy Father’s Day

Another one rolling around already, wow it comes and goes so fast. I seem to always repeat myself when it comes to holidays, I say things like “time is going too fast, someone slow it down” yeah like that lol. But even if they repetitive, it’s just so true. So today is Father’s Day. I’m in England, and my father is in America. We have a funny relationship, well not funny just not cool I guess. We are not close, I mean I love my father, don’t get me wrong. But as an adult and after my mother passed away God rest her soul, he has become distant. When my mom was around, sure he took some interest but not like most dads would. That kind of made me feel sad. So after mom passed away in 2001, you would think it would make us closer? Well it didn’t! He somehow managed to find another partner, not marry her but just living with her, and ever since then he didn’t ever seek to see how both me and my sister are doing. Growing up he seemed to favor the boys more. Is it like that with fathers? So anyway regardless of all that, I still love him and well I just don’t let it bother me all that much. So Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, my brothers Eric, Omar, Nelson and Jo who is the father of the her family and she does a dang good job at it too, and last but not least the newest addition to the family, my niece Amanda’s baby’s father, whom I forgot his name and have to take a moment to remember… YES it’s Kyle haha, well it’s his first Father’s Day, so Happy Father’s Day to him as well!! And Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and soon to be fathers out there, and those women who have to take the father’s roll in the family because the father is not there. I think that covered everyone, I hope!

So the painter just arrived, 30 minutes late but who cares lol. I just wanted to mention it. He’s a really nice and cute haha guy. He’s putting on the gloss or whatever it is on the window edges or whatever it is you call them things, I’m in the bedroom and I can smell it lol. Omg my feet are still sore from helping packed for two days. And thats not even over yet, we got more stuff to pack that will come later. We’ve recently come to a problem, well not we but I am sort of involved even though I don’t own the property, but yeah a bit of a snag on the estate agents behalf, talk about rudeness, anyway their performance was asinine to say the least. I won’t get into details but don’t ever deal with Wakefield Estate agents in England they are the rudest people ever. Anyway Al is taking care of business with that! I had an appointment yesterday to view a room but had to cancel because of this new crap that came up. The guy seems like such a sweetheart, he’d make an excellent flatmate, I hope he text’s me back. Anyway other than that, we have no bed or chair in the flat haha because most of the things were taken to storage, so I’m sitting on two cushions in the bedroom floor as the guy works in the lounge painting. We do have a couch, but its probably cold out in the lounge as he has to leave the windows open, and if you remember seeing pictures of the lounge they are huge windows, and it’s a bit chilly out, I hope we don’t get rain because he’s putting the last coat on the balcony floor, and would hate to see that washed away. Ok well thats all for now, Happy Father’s Day everyone!

Packathon

I think it’s going to be that time again, no wait I am right. That time to update my listings. wow i’ll need a day to do that. I am so short on time because were in the midst of packing up the flat. Al is renting out the flat, and I’m moving on to another place, since I’ll be returning to America at the end of the year for a nice long visit So that’ll be fun. I was talking to Al today, telling her how much I’m going to miss her, when I’m back in California. I will too, I almost started cry. I’m such a baby but I can’t help it, she’s like the best friend I never had, I am so happy she is my best friend forever!! So yeah it will be like a packathon going on here haha. Fun Fun!!

On Saturday we’ll be staying out due to the fact there will be painters in the house. The thing about that is, well I feel, is that I feel uncomfortable leaving strangers in the house and us not being there. Am I the only one that feels this. I mean I’d be happy to stay in the bedroom while they paint, its one room they are painting, including the balcony. How long would that take? Few hours? Well we’ll have no choice but to be here, well until about 1.30 or so, then we need to check into a B&B then I have an appointment later on to do a viewing. It feels like invasion of privacy lol. Am I being paranoid, or do I have the right to feel that. I’m going to try to convince Al we shouldn’t leave until they are done and out. They (the painters) should have all their equipment and supplies with them, so there should be no reason for them to leave or go on an errand to pick anything up.

Last week, we went to rent some storage space, but I really feel that its too small mind you a lot of stuff can be stacked on top of each other being they are lots of boxes. There are some furnishing though that need to go in, so we’ll see. Al’s been telling me that the estate agent hasn’t been really communicating or even making an attempt to get in touch with her, after she leaves messages. I mean Al has someone moving in and she hasn’t even got her phone number or been able to have a one on one talk with her. I know the agency is suppose to represent her, but aren’t they suppose to pass things through her first. Well I think they should, what kind of agency keeps the owner clueless? Al’s even thought about pulling out because of the way they are handling things, I don’t blame her either, but at the same time she don’t want to lose this tenant. Argg we’ll see what happens, Al has plans of changing agencies anyway.

I’ll be busy the next week and a half, I hope I get a chance to update my listings. I don’t need them to be taken away that would be sad. Anyway I need to get going, making some hamburgers for us and I am starving, haven’t had a bite all day. Plus now there is a new verson of FanUpdate so need to get that updated. Ok have a great week/weekend all!
