OILY TO WISE

ONE TIME IN OUR FANCY ELK GROVE HOUSE   WE HAD A CUPBOARD TO STORE GROCERIES  AND IT WAS REALLY FULL BECAUSE I ALWAYS KEPT A STOCKED LARDER ,  WE HEARD A LOUD CRASH AND AS WE ENTERED THE DOORWAY TO THE KITCHEN , WE FOUND THE ENTIRE SHELF THAT HELD OILS AND  VINEGARS AND THE LIKE HAD FALLEN APART AND ALL THE OILS AND VINEGARS AND SUCH  HAD CRASHED AND BROKEN AND WERE ALL OVER THE CARPET  IN THE HALLWAY BETWEEN THE KITCHEN AND THE HALL . IT WAS THE MOST HORRIBLE MESS I HAD EVER SEEN  I                   FELT FIRST DESPAIR THEN ANXIETY THEN I BEGAN TO PICK UP THE PIECES  AND FILL THE TRASH CAN WITH THEM AND THROUGH DETERMINED ACTION, I EVENTUALLY HAD ALL THE MESS CLEANED UP. SOON HE WAS HAULING THE  TRASH OUT DOORS TO EMPTY IT AS IT WAS CONSIDERABLE.  I EVEN MANAGED TO GET THE CARPET   FAIRLY CLEAN AND LOOKING DECENT  AFTER.

 REDWOOD FOREST WE BOUGHT IN SONOMA COUNTY  WHERE WE BUILT A SAD LITTLE CABIN AND ROUGHED IT  AND I GOT A JOB AT THE SCHOOL AND TAUGHT THE KINDERGARTEN AND AFTERNOONS CO TAUGHT 1ST 2 ND AND THIRD GRADES AT THE COUNTRY SCHOOL THERE . THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED I NEVER WANTED TO BE A TEACHER .  OUR LIVING WAS QUITE ROUGH AND I ENDED UP IN THE HEALDSBURG HOSPITAL                WHERE DOCTOR NEAL  CARED FOR ME  AND I ENDED  UP HAVING BIOFEEDBACK TREATMENT FOR MY SORE BACK WHEN I RETURNED TO SACTO. THAT WORKED THE PAIN WAS GONE.

AND FINALLY ITOLD THE TENANTS THAT EITHER ID  HAVE TO RAISE THEIR RENT TO THE AMOUNT I PAID FOR THE APARTMENT OR THEY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE.  THEY WERE REALLY PISSED AND THEY MOVED AND DID A LOT OF LITTLE BAD THINGS LIKE STEALING SOME PROPERTY WE HAD STORED IN THE BASEMENT .

ANYWAY WE THEN MOVED INTO THE APARTMENT AND CLEANED IT UP AND FIXED IT A BIT.
