I put this out hoping the woodpecker would come around more often. So far I haven't seen it, but the chickadees seem to like it. It is close enough to the railing that a crow will sit on the railing and peck away at it too. Then the squirrel gathers up anything that the crow drops.
I qualify for a seniors home care grant of $750. It covers lawn mowing, snow removal, house cleaning and more. I have had someone mowing the lawn this summer. but that doesn't cover the full amount. I decided to start getting someone in once a month for house cleaning, since I hate cleaning. Today was the first day for that, and it went well. She cleaned the kitchen and bathroom and vacuumed the living room.
BUT
I also looked at a mini home today. It's a private sale, about 15 km from where I am living now so it is more a country setting in the park and a larger lot than the ones here in the city. Because it is a private sale it is cheaper than if it was listed thru an agent. I like the lot and I like the size of the home. He has already done a lot of renovations so the most I would have to do is some painting, and I may be able to get him to agree to do that before he leaves. It's mainly the living room, 2 of the walls are a pale pumpkin color. With all of his stuff in there too, it's a bit hard to visualize my things there. I told him that I want to sleep on it tonight but I am seriously considering making an offer. It would mean moving around mid-December and I'm not sure I want to move just before Christmas, although it would be better than waiting till January.
I am 99% sure that I met this guy one time many years ago when I was on the dating sites. When I talked to him I didn't say anything about it, and he didn't appear to recognize me. He must have met someone though because he told me that when he got married his wife moved in with him, but she has now passed away. It's one of the reasons he wants to move, too many memories of her there now. Plus because it is outside of the city and he doesn't have a vehicle now, it makes it difficult to do simple things like grocery shopping.
A friend from the brunch group lives in a different area of that park, so I called her tonight to see what she thinks about the company that owns the park, she likes them, says they are good to deal with.
So I have a decision to make in the next 24 hours.
