Another day in paradise. 

Up until 2:00 am, the rolling thunder kept me awake for hours. It wasn't here and there, it was constant and it just rolled across the sky, growling like an angry lion, calling out to those that are sleeping.  Thunder and I aren't friends when it comes to sleep. I am a very light sleeper as it stands.  Thunder, especially that type of thunder, wakes me up and keeps me awake. 

Woke feeling cruddy because of it this morning.  Not like I went to be at 2:00 am.  

But, I made it out to the property, cut one piece of drywall, decided this wasn't the day for doing that and went to installing electrical outlets.  I've got all the outlets I'm doing - done. Except the stove outlet. No biggies there, the rest of the stuff is what was priority. I have another list of things I need from Lowe's. As it stood, I needed to get home to get the boys from the bus stop.  

It was funny tho.  I was talking with the lady side of the older couple and mentioned that those other people hadn't said a word to me in a week. She hesitated.  I could tell. Those people b**** about everything.  So they're talking shit about me again, lol. Yes, she said, but they complain about everything.  I replied: they are complaining about the grass again, right?  Of course they are.  I mowed it a week ago, I'm not getting out there and mowing every day.  Why the grass suddenly decided to take off and grow like weeds, I have no idea. It didn't do that for many months over.  

And even more interesting:  I no more got done talking to the older couple and this lady contacts me: the wifi isn't working. I can check that easily, just try to access my cameras.  If the app works and shows live footage, it's because the wifi is working.  Yup, both cameras up and going.  Oh, nvrmnd, it's "finally" working now.  I said hi to her and she complained about the grass. 

Whatever, dude. I'm not spending the rest of my life mowing grass every other day.  If they don't like it, literally, they can leave and take their foul attitudes with them. I didn't say that, but I was surely thinking it.  I don't need this.  What she really wants is for me to buy a riding mower so she can go riding around mowing grass all over the place. Even the older couple lady said that today.  WTH.  I can think of a thousand things I'd rather be doing than mowing grass. 

But even if I do get a riding mower, I'm not sure I want anyone else running it. Rocks. I will eventually get rid of them, but right now, they are still everywhere. I pick them up, I throw them into the woods, done. 1 done, a lot to go. If they go around busting out windows on an RV, are they going to pay for it?  Obvious answer.  I need a riding mower, I don't need recklessness. I already made a mistake once, I don't need more of that.  That goes right into my paychecks.  If I have to pay out a window, I am losing money I can pay myself.  

I spent my retirement money on this thing.  I sometimes wonder if it was the right call. I go through all the logical/analytical thinking.  What if it doesn't pay off? What if it doesn't pay the bills? What if I can't make ends meet? I go there sometimes.  But I then think - property values have gone up like wildfire in my region.  Prices for buying RV parks are unbelievable. Couple the 2 together and you have a property that is worth enough to retire off of coupled with SS payments.  Not my goal, but it's there.  

I dunno. I'm still just sort of grasping my way through this.  People in the industry want to give me all kinds of advice and help - if I pay them of course. I'll just continue on with my dream and hope it pays off.  

I'll be going to Lowe's yet again tomorrow morning.  I have quite the list.
