When I woke up this morning, people had already been here for the garage sale. Not very many people came though, and I still have a lot of stuff left. I only made about $50.00 today. I doubt if I make much more tomorrow.

Steve tried to fix my plumbing problem, and everything was well until he had his brother come over to help. His brother put two holes in my bath walls, and although I can repair them easily, I am dismayed that they wouldn't have more sense. Steve tried to replace everything as it was, wood moldings, etc., but I have to consider this rental property now, and I will have to redo it or pay to have it done for cosmetic reasons. All people want a clean, well-maintained, bathroom. Anyway, my plumbing isn't fixed and I must call a professional plumber Monday.

I got my paycheck from my last job assignment, and was disappointed. I only cleared $98.00, but my job-related, traveling costs were $60.00.

Sonny hasn't started my roofing yet, and nothing has been delivered. If nothing arrives Monday, I'll go to Mom's house to see what's up. I gave them free rent for the month of May and$100.00 to buy materials.

My repair problems at both houses are keeping me broke with a capital B, and I don't have another paying roommate yet.

I stripped all the varnish off Dad's old nightstand and dresser, except for one drawer, while keeping tabs on the garage sale. I sanded two drawers and put a thin coat of polyurethane on both of them. If two end tables and a desk don't sell, I may keep them and refinish them, then try to sell them. My money situation is horrible, and the more I am able to financially accomplish, the more needs to be done.

I'm also having more plumbing problems now. My bathtub hot water seat is leaking water again when it's turned on, and the cold water seat leaks whether it's turned off or on.

Deanna. one of my neighbors, is moving, because she can't afford to live in her house anymore on ADC. I will miss her
