Ah, weekends! They're not supposed to be for stressing out, are they?

We've recently had a great deal of snow, and the last few days have been very warm, which means snow melt. Normally, this would be a good thing. But, unfortunately, I have a leak or two in my roof, which means what I did this weekend was listen to dripping water, design makeshift water diversions and watch bowls fill up. Ugh!

Sadly, I am not a rich gal. I'm not even what one would call "comfortably well-off". I'm more getting on "by the skin of my teeth".

I don't know how I'm going to manage fixing my roof. I'm sad.

The truth is, my house is an old double wide mobile home. I mean old. Forty-two years old. If it was a car it would be a classic!

It's not a classic. It's just old and falling apart around my ears.

It's all paid for, though. There is that!

I've been disabled since 2010, and have been schooling to get back to work in a new profession, so that leaves me little money to do anything but squeak by.

I need some advise on low-cost roof repair. Really low cost. What sort of materials should I buy, if I want to make it a DIY project? (Which is pretty much what it's going to have to be!) Any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Besides dealing with water damage, the weekend wasn't too bad.

My daughter, daughter-in-law and I made a brief visit to a Karaoke bar and listened to people butcher some songs. Haha! There were a couple singers who did quite well, though, so that was cool. The venue has pretty much outgrown its location. It was full to capacity, quite crowded. They were doing a good business, but they need more room.

I used to go out for Karaoke a lot, but I don't sing anymore. When I had my gall bladder removed I was intubated for anesthesia, and whoever inserted the tube scratched my trachea quite badly. Since then, my singing voice is unreliable. I prefer not to embarrass myself, so I sing when I'm alone these days.When it goes well I'm really happy, and when it goes off the rails, I'm the only one who has to hear it!

My son's good, good friend took us out to lunch today to celebrate my son's birthday. Yay, Outback Steakhouse. Good eats!

I'm looking forward to a good week of studying. Have to log those continuing education credits!

Take care, all. Good night!
