Something you should know

Over the past couple of weeks I have had moments of anxiety about being unemployed. It 's not easy finding yourself without a job after over 30 years of steady employment. But through her consistent and loving support my partner Janice has help me get past those moments. Her love and strength lifts me up and gives me exactly what I need. She is my inspirations, my life partner, my lover. Janice is a wonderful, caring and loving person. And if I wasn't married to her, I would want to be. I love you Janice.

Unemployed

Well today is week two of no job....I suppost to be working on the master bedroom make-over...but today I'm just hanging out with friends watching C-SPAN...

Master Bedroom Make-over

Well the Walls are painted banana split...the new carpet is in...we got the high end padding and you can really tell the difference.

I now in the process of getting new doors and woodwork stained....Janice won't be parking her car the garage for awhile.

The plan is to make doors that look like Shoji screens to cover the opens to the small closets.

Take care this it for now

I know it's been forever (by Michael)

Know it's been forever since I did an update...so this one is a little long....

After 25 years, last week I decided to terminate my employment with Siemens. Without the support of Janice I would never had been able to attempt something so life altering. We decided that given the stress over the last five years, I needed some down time before running out and getting another job....so I'm doing things I enjoy...like giving the master bedroom a make over, watching C-SPAN, and surfing the net.

so to get you up to date here's what's been happening


MASTER BEDROOM MAKE-OVER


This is the master bedroom in the process of a make-over. Taking up the carpet and removing all the woodwork and doors was the easy part..We painted ceiling and primed the walls. After painting the room three different colors we finally found onethat works...Its called banana split...Janice asked me "what happens if it's too yellow...I told her " that would be too bad"...so banana split is it . the new carpet was installed today...Now I have the task staining and installing all new doors and woodwork...Hope to finish this week end.
