This is third week about to end since labor and masons are working in our house . Hubby had to stretch the work because of some alterations he is willing to add to the house such as installation of new sewerage pipes to avoid any rain water entering the house in future if water surface rises outside the house due to heavy rains. This was the mostly face issue by the citizens of this small city .So many people have to leave their house because rainwater entered in their houses and damaged all the furniture including everything almost . We have an empty plot at front of our house it is 3 to 4000 square and eight feet below the road almost but rainwater filled it enough to flood the road during recent rains . Residents of the colony had to arrange a motor to extract water so water cannot enter in the houses. That has frightened all,and everyone is trying to fix his house so can face the possible dangers in future.
I think work will take more than a month or so to finish.
On positive note ,our weather is changing slowly and temperature has stop to rise above thirty plus. Soothing breeze and glorious sky both are out there though i get little time to look at them as workers leave after sunset everyday . But i have a little back street at the back of the house where i can stare the sky for while to absorb the beauty of life . This is spiritual experience to wittiness how sunshine pull back her glossy glow from the face of sky. I can feel the sadness sky feels for while after leaving sunshine and then calmly gather himself to look at twinkling stars smilingly . In this universe everything seems to make some adjustments to grab momentary joys and believe me that skill to do so is true essence of life :)
Another bright note ,i figured out finally why i could not comment through my son's computer ?
Not actually i could learn to be honest but at least i created a separate profile on my son's computer .
Actually my younger son has created three profiles already before leaving but mine got disappeared for unknown reasons. when i would look for my blogger dashboard three emails address would appear ,i would click on mine to choose my profile natural i would think that if this makes me to access my blogger dashboard and i can post through it why would not it let me to comment .but it kept happening . I gave up and started to comment through older tablet but since two weeks tablet too went off and refused to be recharged at all. I mention this to my eldest son hesitatingly ( i did not want him to point out i don't have laptop now so he might misunderstand) he said that i have to sign in into the blogger with my own profile and then it clicked to my dumb mind that this can help . I tried and i succeeded luckily ,yes creating own profile is big deal as i was never into such things before and everything about my blog was done by my eldest son in 2009 .for which i will remain thankful to him always. I am happy i can comment on my blogger friends through laptop now . We are postponing purchase of new laptop until next summers as repairing of the house is costing too much already .
one way or another little adjustments we make in life bring true happiness in life this is why i love having limited resources because they keep us more alive ,more close and more serene :)
Health ,peace and happiness to all of you dear friends! see you soon!
Baili, I am so happy to hear you got it to work with the help of your brilliant son! 😊
ReplyDeleteSimplicity makes life sweet. That's what I think too.
You will be so happy to have all the work over so you can have your home back.
ReplyDeleteGlad you solved the comments issue by creating a new profile on your son's computer!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you did not flood during the heavy rain you had. It's wise to repair things so that you are secure for next time.
ReplyDeleteNice quotes
ReplyDeleteHope I can change next week and finally go visit family and friends.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend
I can only imagine how much it will cost to get your house in order after those rains.
ReplyDeleteLucky to have an area outside your house in the lane where you can see the sky sit and ponder. Hope you are well, all of you - take care Baili.
Your husband is wise to invest in good plumbing work so you won't have to worry about sewerage flooding. I hope you can use the land in front of your house in some way once drainage is resolved, maybe if it does not belong to you, your neighbours would share it as a garden or plant trees as that would help drainage too.

ReplyDeleteOh Baili,
ReplyDeleteI hope the work being done will keep you dry in the future if there is flooding. The earth is rebelling against us I fear! Glad you got you problem with commenting sorted out!
Baili, the work that is being done on your home, while costly, should give you and your family some peace of mind and less worrying in the future. Water damage is not good or kind to household belongings as sadly so many people in FL have experienced. Glad to read that you son was able to help you with being able to leave comments. Sorry that I mistakenly deleted a couple you previously left on my blog posts.
ReplyDeleteYes good plumbing is a must with all the rains. Glad the comments are working for you too. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Baili! ☺ We are leading a little bit of similar lives, with home renovations and needing a new laptop! Both Alex and I need new ones, they are struggling...but we are hoping they don't kick off until next year! The house renos cost so much don't they? I'm glad you have a little secret spot you can go to, to gaze up at the sky! ♥♥
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will be happy when all the work is completed.
ReplyDeleteStay well, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
With floods and rain hitting Florida and east coast, I can almost picture your own struggles with your own.
ReplyDeleteI really, really hope that the work prevents further flood damage. And thank you for this inspirational post. I really do need to accept responsibility for where I am and where I am going.
ReplyDeleteHi, Baili! I hope your home renovations go well. Homes always need something or other. Thankfully, we are pretty caught up. Right now, we only need to add a new furnace and water heater, which we'll get to very soon. I'm looking forward to the day we sell our home and move into a smaller space with little to no responsibilities. I'd rather be traveling around the world than household chores! LOL Lots of hugs to you, sweet friend. Keep well.
ReplyDeleteI know I commented on your post, I think blogger may have put my comment in spam?
ReplyDeleteMy good wishes.
All the best Jan
Your hubby continues to work to make your home better and more weatherproof, Baili! And now you've resolved some of the laptop issues! One day at a time things are looking up. I'm glad that you have a place where you can see the sky while the workmen are there. Great quotes by the way. Love and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteDear Baili,
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to comment but I do not know where they are going!
Are they in your spam folder?
Sending my good wishes.
All the best Jan
You will enjoy the benefits of you home being renovated.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have managed to fix your Blogger problems.
O Blogger também esteve numa fase bastante problemática, há uns meses atrás... era extremamente difícil deixar comentários em certos blogs... ou simplesmente desapareciam depois de publicados... e de vez em quando, tal ainda acontece...
ReplyDeleteEstimo que os seus problemas com o laptop em breve se resolvam, e as obras em sua casa, e jardim, corram o melhor possível! Este ano, também tenho andado a fazer algumas adaptações aqui em casa, para a tornar mais prática, por causa de alguns problemas de mobilidade da minha mãe... e depois a pandemia, só veio agravar tal, com a redução drástica de saídas e mudança repentina de rotinas...
Um beijinho! Votos de tudo a correr pelo melhor, por aí!
Ana
