August. It just gets more confuzzling!

Aug 5

Just when all the house plans started to fall into place something had to arise to throw them all into limbo.

First…I own land on the Little Ossippee river and because of that I need to follow rules by Limington as well as from the Saco River Corridor Commission (SRCC). Well SRCC has rules that say that your house must be set back so far from the high water line.

The way I had my house situated made me as well as Leavitt (contractor) unsure if it was set back the 180 feet needed.

I called the SRCC and they agreed to come out with Leavitt to measure and set pins for the foundation. Well after frantic phonecalls an sleepless nights it happened and now the house is set…at least on that side.

Now to the other problem. I asked a company to come out and GPS survey the site to make sure all the boundaries are correct. I especially wanted the front boundaries set so I know where to set the house and have enough setback to not intrude on the neighbors land and enough room for a future garage.

Well, this seemed to be a little more than he could do BUT still expected payment on the work he completed. He mentioned a friend that is a surveyor and I talked to him.
He set a price and then saw how much work was actually involved raised the price. It appears that there have been no real survey on my land and the surrounding properties. The pins are nowhere to be found and most markings are either gone or moved.

So now I have to pay a surveyor to make all those markings to make sure that my house is setback and will not intrude.

This whole ordeal has been a major headache. Oh. And all of this has happened this week! All while I am in Mac training. There have been many times I’ve run out of class making frantic calls. This week has been a week from hell. Let’s hope the worst of it is over and everything will fall into place.

Through this all I will say that the SRCC as well as Leavitt has been very accommodating and have nothing but praise for their professionalism.

There are few new photos at the site. gallery.me.com/krazijoe

It’s coming together, just more headaches than expected!

BELLA!

Song: Complicated
Album: Room With A View

I’m so scared that the way I feel,
Is written all over my face
When you walk into the room,
I wanna find a hiding place.
We used to laugh, we used to hug, the way that old friends do.
But now, a smile and a touch of your hand,
Just makes me come unglued.
Such a contridiction, do I lie or tell the truth.
Is it fact or fiction,
Oh the way I feel for you.

So complicated, I’m so frustrated.
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay.
Should I say it.
Should I tell you how I feel.
Oh, I want you to know.
But then again I don’t. It’s so complicated.

Oh..just when I think I’m under control.
I think I got a grip.
Another friend tells me that, I’m always on your lips.
They say I’m more than just a friend, they say I must be blind.
Well, I admit that I’ve seen you watch me from the corner of your eye.
Oh, It’s so confusing. I wish you’d just confess.
But think of what I’d
be losin’, if your answer isn’t yes.

So complicated I’m so frustrated,
I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away,
I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay.
Should I say it, should I tell you how I feel.
Oh I want you to know, but then again I don’t, It’s so complicated.

Oh, I hate it. ‘Cuz I’ve waited.
So long for someone like you
Oh, what do I do.
Oh should I say it.
Should I tell you how I feel.
I want you to know,but then again I don’t.
It’s so complicated..
It’s so complicated..
It’s so complicated.
Ohh..

Thoughts…

Aug 7

So I’m sitting here waitin to get my hair cut and I started to think. *laughter pause*
done laughing yet?
*more laughter pause*
the brain has a certain aptitude to try to make certain thoughts reality. It can take the most innocent of things, twist it around and turn it into something more than it should be.
I’ve learned recently that when there is an emptyness your heart tries to fill it as fast as possible.

That all may sound like a bad thing, when actually it’s not. It’s the heart trying to heal itself. It tries to fill that void faster than the brain wants to let it and in doing so tricks the brain into accepting it.

Some people call it a rebound. I call it healing.
I had a discussion with a friend about rebounds and she said that a person needs it. I disagreed saying that it’s not needed. I see now that it is needed as part of the healing process.
The brain and heart need to get back in synch and this is part of the process.

Healing is hard and does not happen overnight but it happens and sometimes somethings are out of your control. At that point try to go with the flow and attempt to be rational. It’s not always possible but one has to at least try.

Yeah. I think I need to think less.
